the hip hop and rap fraternity doesnt know anything about quality, look at young jeezy or huey and other rappers wearing fakes. only cause they are talented in rapping, they´re not talented in spotting fakes and knowing anything bout quality.
most of them just buy it, because rmc is expensive, they buy everything what is expensive. rmc is the perfect product for them, expensive, baggy, fancy.
christian audigier is not a hip hop brand, but it´s expensive and fancy, so i see more and more rappers wearing CA shirts...

in the western world japanese evisus (not eu-edition) and rmc is connected with hip hop culture and with other celebrities (mainly african-american actors and sportsmen).

I don't specifically mean just 'rappers' but I mean that 'whole market'/image (maybe a better word would be culture?). I'm no expert on Lebron James (as we don't have much access to NBA over in the UK) but I would class him in that type of market - from what bits I've seen of him.
I suppose it's like the Stone Island & Burberry look with Football hooligans - they have adopted it and it has turned off other people.
I'm not saying there's anything bad about it.

As CD and anybody else who lives in the UK will know, there seems to be certain brands that are synomanous with what we refer to as "CHAVS" ( brands like Henry LLoyd, Timberland and Lacoste to name just a few). Once they start to wear a brand or its fakes, nobody wants to wear it anymore. Good to see that RMC/Yoropiko havnt reached these people.

i definately feel where Cd is coming from. but at the same time the main page of this site is full of rappers wearing rmc and looking at the new yoropiko jeans with the skulls on it maybe martin Could be targetting the urban market [since the ''rockstar'' look is very big now in rap/hiphop]. i mean he made jeans with ''the Roc'' on the back of them [the jay-z jeans], and also they are way more baggy then armani/d&g etc. like shin said.
