Great video, bro. I live in NYC and have some friends who work in the diamond district. My friends informed me that sometimes pieces are loaned out to these entertainers if they promote the jeweler's brand and name in their music. Personally, I am convinced jewelry other than gold, platinum, silver, and precious gems are essentially worthless. Diamonds intrinsically have very little value unless they are massive in size and high quality clarity. Personally, I am convinced these jeweler's and powerful diamond companies like Dubeers use these entertainers, especially rappers, to keep promoting jewelry to the masses so that more people can be brainwashed and incentivized to spend their own hard earned money on worthless custom pieces , that only continue to enrich other races of people. Jewelry is a major scam unless you're buying solid gold pieces and precious gems like Saphires, Rubies, Emeralds, and Opals, especially, are some of the most expensive gems.
Am taking a screenshot of this channel now….😂and know when this channel blows up…great research ❤

another banger the work speaks for itself but i have to say this N95
You are one of the best South African youtubers,your craft of storytelling and video editing is unmatched .
when i was comming up ones Jewelry was a semi representation of status and what one could afford, not creating a shiny 'target'. The idea was one had to also protect what they had and stay alive
Yo good video My King
I RESPECT YOU FOR DOIN YOU HIP-HOP HISTORY🎓
Missed you bro 😖
The hustlers of the era were the first to set the trends then RunDMC iirc were tone of the first to isay copy that style. And if you look back of that Paid in Full album you'll see some lnotorious street hustlers & stick up kids, one of then being origional 50 cent.
this was a real good video, very informative. we give meaning to too much bullshit. that's why the rich stay rich. i liked and saved this video, and subscribed. great work!
I do love diamond and gold jewellery. Jewellery and precious stones have been there for ages. Used to be means of payment at one point in history. But I just don't own what I can wear as regular jewellery. Rapper level of jewels though? Even if you can afford how are you gonna walk on the street decked out in those without getting robbed? I don't want to have security follow me around all the time like Beyonce ewwww.
I prefer Andre 3000 , I could be wrong but I think he walks around among regular people on streets no fanfare
it's about showing you made it.
Its not Run DMX its Run DMC!!!! At about 7:14
If you can understand why poor people in any country and society who want to be like the rich people in their society. You can understand your people then you can understand why these rappers do what they do.
Ye said its modern day slavery
Ron DMX 😅
Do they still call it Ice?
Yh
I'm sorry but only 1 community in hip hop spend the most of their money in jewelry...
