Run DMC Dookie Rope Chains
Run DMC was one of the first iconic rappers to make bling a cultural statement for hip artists and for men. Run DMC’s Dookie rope chain projected big gold jewelry as a fashion statement for the hip-hop world. This symbolic piece of gangta style was popularized in the 1980’s, and it is enjoying a healthy comeback into stardom, seen around the necks of today’s stars, such as Nelly, Slick Rick, and Nick Cannon.
Oversized accessories became a staple of hip-hop style because they symbolized wealth and prestige. The bigger your bling, the more money and power you had. Later on, even if you didn’t have power or lots of dough, these symbols suggested that you aspired to fame – making the Run DMC Dookie rope chain perfect for your gangsta ensemble.
Excessively large gold necklaces were the first jewelry trend for hip-hop stars, and the first trend to filter down into mainstream society. The Run DMC Dookie rope chain, with its thick, fat presence, became a symbol of strength, wealth and male virility, and something that all young men wanted to emulate. The Run DMC Dookie rope chain was a way to demonstrate style, ideals, music tastes, wealth, and most importantly, to attract the ladies. Hip hop fashion is largely about appealing to the opposite sex, whether it is attracting them through projected wealth or even things that your girl can borrow when she’s going out with you.
Rapper like Run DMC and Big Daddy Kane popularized the fat gold necklaces. There are several varieties of the Run DMC Dookie rope chain necklaces—either a thick solid uninterrupted strip of metal, or a thick braided or twisted length, making a fat, three-dimensional necklace reminiscent of a rope. These Run DMC Dookie rope chain necklaces come in several lengths – one really long necklace that comes halfway down your chest, or nearly to your belly-button – or you can twist the Run DMC Dookie rope chain several times if you want several gold ropes around your neck.
The Run DMC Dookie rope chain made their way into high fashion and then trickled down into mainstream society. Upscale designers like Chanel started to show the style of multiple thick chains in their fashions, popularizing this hip-hop trend. Chic designers have since moved away from this hip-hop trend, and back again, so that the Run DMC Dookie rope chain necklace is now a fashion item that seems set to stay in both mainstream and gangsta styles.
Bling is an eternal necessity in hip-hop fashion – the more bling, the better. Lots of gold, platinum and diamonds are a way to demonstrate your power and standing. But if you’re not about the diamond bling, the rope chains are a great accessory choice. The thick Run DMC Dookie rope chain makes you look tough and hard. A rope is a symbol of a man’s territory—of strength and power. The Run DMC Dookie rope chain is a man’s domain, and wearing a thick gold necklace that looks like a rope will raise your standing as a playa with your posse and the ladies.
