Chanters play the part of a herd at a show
Pos prints the peace on his jeans or Girbauds.
Pete Rock & CL Smooth | For Pete's Sake
The P.E.T.E.R.O.C.K., résumé
With the route to Brut by Fabergé.
The Pharcyde | Ya Mama
Ya moms, ya moms, she uses Brut
And I saw her ridin a horsey drinking whisky out a boot.
Salt-N-Pepa | The Showstopper
Instead of Polo he wore Brut.
He said, “La-di-da-di.” What?
"La-di-da-di." Uh-huh, word to mother.
Salt-N-Pepa | The Showstopper
The train made a stop (Where?) Two hundred and five
And a little soft guy walked inside
He wore plastic Bally’s and a booty Gucci suit
Cracked a little smile and showed a fake gold tooth.
Note: Long before Snoop Dogg riffed on Doug E. Fresh x Slick Rick’s La Di Da Di in 1993, Salt-N-Pepa issued this female response –– yet another testament to the song’s iconic status.
The Pharcyde | Return of the B-boy
Some people wear all that Fila gear
Gonna rock this party out the atmosphere.
Note: This song came out in 1992 but reminisces about 1987. The above pic is of the Fila Fresh Crew, who appeared on the 1987 compilation album N.W.A. and the Posse. The man on the right would go on to become The D.O.C.. Dallas, represent!
Salt-N-Pepa | I'll Take Your Man
But I really don’t want him, the guy ain’t fly, shoot
He can’t afford to buy a Fila suit.
The Pharcyde | Drop
Any excuse to play this video—
They couldn’t fade with a clipper blade
10 years in the trade is not enough, you can’t cut it.
GZA | Investigative Reports
The baggy blue Guess jeans, pull strings off in Palm Springs.
— Ghostface Killah
De La Soul | Live @ the Dugout '87
That backyard scrap, like BVDs,
Tale Lords devils and pinstripe Lees.
EPMD | I'm Housin'
Posse kept rollin’ it was hard to get with ‘em
So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim.
GZA | 4th Chamber
The only man a ho wait for
Is the sky-blue Bally kid, in ‘83 rocked Tale Lords.
— Ghostface Killah
Geto Boys | Read These Nikes
You read these Nikes ‘cuz you’re fucked up, punk
Here’s the definition of gettin your ass stomped:
I’m a Nigga Insane Kickin-ass Extremely
So you weak-ass hoes keep dreamin.
A Tribe Called Quest | Buggin' Out
I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
Mess around with this, you catch a size eight up your ass.
— Phife Dawg
Inspired by Nike’s tribute to ATCQ, DJ Mars decided to customize his own 574’s in the style of The Low End Theory.
A Tribe Called Quest | Excursions
If you botch up, what’s in that ass?
A pair of Nikes, size ten-and-a-half.
— Q-Tip
In 2011, Nike produced these Blazers inspired by the cover of The Low End Theory, the album this song came from.

Public Enemy | Rebel Without a Pause
P.E. a group, a crew – not singular
We wear black Wranglers
We’re rap stranglers.
