Killer Mike Reminds Lil Yachty of Big Boi’s Fashion Influence in Atlanta

Killer Mike Jumps into Lil Yachty’s Atlanta Fashion Debate with Big Boi Reminder

The fashion debate between Lil Yachty and New York City just got a new player – Killer Mike. The Atlanta rapper has inserted himself into the controversial discussion by reminding everyone about Big Boi’s history as a trendsetter.

Yachty recently stirred the pot by claiming that Atlanta is responsible for starting all current fashion trends and that New York has been copying the city’s style. In response, Killer Mike somewhat defended Yachty by highlighting Atlanta’s long-standing influence in the fashion world.

Crediting Big Boi with pioneering one of Hip Hop’s most iconic looks, Killer Mike pointed out that the OutKast legend started the throwback jersey trend with a Houston Astros jersey back in 1998. He also mentioned Kanye West, who is also from Atlanta, for setting the record straight on the trend.

The debate escalated when a user mentioned that Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest often wore sports jerseys before the Goodie Mob video came out. Killer Mike clarified that while Phife Dawg was an inspiration, the throwback era truly began with Big Boi in the “Black Ice (Sky High)” music video.

The debate has sparked reactions from both Atlanta and New York artists, with Juelz Santana and Fivio Foreign weighing in on social media. It seems like the fashion debate between Atlanta and New York is far from over, with Killer Mike adding his voice to the conversation.
