“Now it’s all about Versace, you copied my style”- Tupac featuring the Outlawz, Hit ‘Em Up
Tupac and the Outlawz brought out the heavy artillery as Suge Knight must’ve pressed a big red button which sent a missle across the coast lines to the ears of Bad Boy Records staff and crew. And if were an east coast loyalist who wanted to be down with Bad Boy—Pac wasn’t shy in letting you know, a straight-up rocket could effortlessly be aimed at you.
But we don’t want anyone getting hurt, we would like to propose a question for the culture. Who wore the Medusa inspired brand the best?
Gianni Versace was one of the first major fashion brands to embrace hip-hop culture. He developed a close relationship with the Death Row Records flagship artist. Versace is rumored to have called Tupac “the most beautiful man” he had ever seen.
Versace regularly gifted him custom shirts cut from his finest fabrics. He graciously invited the MC to join him in Milan, Italy for a string fashion shows, where he attended Versace’s fashion show and also walked the runway before performing “California Love” for the people in 1996. He rocked a gold velvet Versace suit.
Today you can still find Diddy dapped in the fine Versace fabrics. King Combs also has a taste for the Italian fabric. The Notorious B.I.G. love the brand so much that he made Versace and other brands a hood must have.
Migos teamed up with Drake to refurbish the iconic vintage brand on their smash hit “Versace.”
With B.I.G., Pac and Versace resting peacefully, who holds the top bragging rights for rocking the Medusa and gold brand?
