7. Art Hypocrite
For a guy who seems to know so much about art, it’s a wonder those owls ever appealed to him. In Feb. 2014, Drizzy told Rolling Stone, “I think the whole rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.” But now the rapper seems to have changed his tune, telling W magazine, in Oct 2015, “The art at Sotheby’s moved me like a song would.” Now which is it? Seems like art and specifically fashion have become the new norm for rappers. Kanye is the next Armani… maybe according to Kanye. Diddy has maintained a label for years, as have many others, including Drake. Oh yes, Drizzy’s Octobers Very Own offers his complete aforementioned owl line. But Drake had it right the first time: too corny. Blame Eazy-E for starting rap fashion with that damn White Sox hat.
