Rappers Who Started Their Own Successful Hip-hop Clothing Lines
Rap and hip-hop artists are known for their braggadocio, ambition, and, usually, plans for total cultural domination. Rap and hip-hop stars are famous for branching out and attempting to become larger “brands” in and of themselves, putting their name on everything from fragrances to energy drinks.
But one of the most visible ways rap and hip-hop artists have branched out is by launching their own hip-hop clothing lines. Many famous rap and hip-hop artists have tried at hip-hop clothing lines, and many of those hip-hop clothing lines have sputtered out.
Fat Joe, DMX, Outkast, Common, and Jim Jones are among the rap and hip-hop artists who have tried to release such lines, only to have to pull them.
