Dude some many Rappers and Singers rock hats but who stood out and Rocked it best?I say for Rappers LL and Kangol Kid and for funny hats JUST ICE and that UK Dude Jamariq...

    This reminds me of a persistent point of debate within the Chicago record community:

    In the post-Billy Jack era, who has done more to further the cause of the bandito hat:

    a) Ecstacy from Whodini

    or

    b) Stevie Ray Vaughn?

    (And no write-in bullshit for Paul Mooney or your man O-Zone, as they both turned their back on the bolo lid and sold out big time, the former perpetrating with the doo-doo-dumb doo-rag, and the latter perpetrating with Lucinda Dickey [Who my girl Sara knows, by the way--not that I'm bragging or anything, but, you know, it is what it is...and no, I can't put you on. You need to boogaloo, shrimp.].)



    WHO GOT THE PROPS?

    Definitely Stevie Ray. I think Ecstacy always looked a bit, how do you say, suspect in that hat, and I mean that in a way that the original bandits almost certainly did not intend.

    Marvin gaye, red hat on cover of let's get it on...



    A very good friend actually has a story about this hat...
    Her mother was a jeweler in Tennessee. Marvin came to town, and asked her to bring some of her silver and turquoise for him to look at. Thrilled, she puts together a case of her best stuff. Goes to his hotel room, and he asks her to take a look. She opens the case.

    "I'll take it all, sweetie." Pays her huge money, and throws in the red hat.

    She lost it when she had to flee from the feds a couple years later.
    As far as I know, this is all true; she has no reason to lie, and this girl is connected in ways on high that make this story seem totally true.
