Vintage Subway Photos That Will Make You Feel The Rush Of Living In A Different Era
The 3 Kings, NYC – 2000
Despite the ugly side of New York, it became a hotbed of graffiti and hip-hop. This music genre was said to be born in the ’70s and was popularized by DJ Kool Herc, but it might be rapper Kurtis Blow who made blings trendy when he donned gold chains for his 1980 album, The Breaks.
Soon, rappers began proudly collecting and wearing sparkly accessories to mark their musical accomplishments. The size of these shiny trinkets also evolved as time passed by. Take, for example, The 3 Kings above, sporting unmissable sparklers on their necks years after hip-hop came to the public’s attention.
