DON'T FORGET TO READ THE SEQUEL TO THIS POST...10 More Ridiculous Rapper Chains
Rappers love their jewelry. Some rappers don't even have their own homes but as long as the ice is right, it's all gravy like Fat Joe's dinner table. I've seen some cool rapper chains...but I've also seen a lot of terrible ones. More often than not rappers seem to buy chains for reaction rather than thinking "is this something I'll actually wear a week from now?" Here are the 10 most ridiculous rapper chains.
10. YUNG BERG
Berg's chain wasn't the worst looking one around, but I just don't understand why this guy has (or should I say had) a Transformers symbol around his neck? Was he in the movie? I used to like to watch The Flintstones but I also have a grip on reality and don't need an iced out Barney. If you love a certain cartoon tell people on Facebook...not your neck.
9. YUNG JOC
Yung Joc's chain says "Hustlenomics." It could also seriously injure a baby. The worst thing about this chain is just how big and terrible it looks...kinda just like a hunk of metal hanging off his neck. The person wearing it doesn't help the situation either. The "H" is for horrible.
8. GUCCI MANE
Cowabullshit. Why would a grown ass man want this chain? Isn't your chain supposed to impress women? Imagine screwin' a chick with Bart Simpson hangin' on her titties? Yeah sure Bart's happy but you look like a tool.
7. GHOSTFACE KILLAH
Yes Ghostface used to wear a dinner plate around his neck...he also used to wear a gigantic eagle on his arm. And while the plate does look ridiculous, it also opened the door for everyone to rock chains. Hit your mom's china cabinet, get some rope and your in business. Even little Ghostface rocked it:
6. VERBAL FROM THE TERIYAKI BOYZ
"Ya colors too bright." Not too sure what to say about this one. It looks like someone shitted out coloured diamonds and this is what happened. It's not that surprising since the guy is wearing 3-D glasses. I'd need to be in a drug induced coma to wear this.
5. RICK ROSS
Unless you ARE Jesus Christ, don't do this. The worst part is that some people probably mistake it for Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince wearing sunglasses. The question remains: Are those sunglasses iced out Ricky is rockin' real or fake?
4. BUSTA RHYMES
If you are gonna drop serious dollars on a chain, make sure it doesn't look like it was a 2 for 1 special at the flea market. This shit is just ugly. The "Map Of New York City" portion on top looks like it would break off mad easy and the colours give New York City a sort of Fruity Pebbles vibe. I hope Busta kept the receipt.
3. T-PAIN
* NOTE - T-Pain started off as a rapper and still raps. He counts.
According to T-Pain on Twitter, this chain cost him $410,000. I'm pretty sure there are kids in Ethiopia right now playing darts with a picture of Teddy P. I get the joke. It's a big ass chain and it says "Big Ass Chain." Hilarious. You know what else is funny? How dumb it looks.
2. SEAN KINGSTON
There are so many things to dislike about Sean Kingston that it makes it challenging to just focus on the chain. That being said, I'm gonna do my best. First of all why? Does anyone look at this and go "yo Sean that is dope man." He's lucky those crayons don't come out the box 'cause if he wore this around me I'd go straight colouring book status on his eyes.
1. SKOOL BOY
I don't know who Skool Boy is but I do know he has the most ridiculous chain I've ever seen. Look, I love chicken wings but you don't see me with an iced out 10 piece around my neck do you? I'd imagine even the person he bought this from looked at him like "n*gga is you crazy?" It has gotta be rough when your chain has more buzz than you.



dude, the pants on SKOOL BOY are on backwards. this aint criss cross and you aint tony the tiger
Posted by: dhsgh | June 09, 2009 at 01:58 PM
Skool boy has a box. His pants are on backwards and he's still wearing NASCAR jackets. I seriously can't. Oh but did you see Noreaga's Newport box chain.

This shit is hilarious... the comments about each one had me crackin' up too.. good shit

Gotta love T-Pain's chain though... He is not afraid to mock himself. See "I'm on a boat" :D :D

Hell, I'm glad someone decided to point this out. We (black people) say we want more and them some of us go out and do this ignorant mess! Thanks for the article. It was great.

You know you have money to burn when....
Posted by: Tanin | June 10, 2009 at 09:09 AM
$410,000. really? I hope he's lyin cause that is just tasteless in todays economy with people out of jobs and losing homes.That could pay for something like 86 2 bedroom apartments for one year.
Posted by: Rachel | June 10, 2009 at 09:56 AM
Most of that shit is fake metals anyways....
Posted by: Laughing at Idiots | June 10, 2009 at 10:26 AM
these rappers drink champagne and toast death and pain like niggers on a slave ship arguing 'bout who got the flyest chains
Posted by: talib kweli | June 10, 2009 at 10:41 AM
sean kingston isn't a rapper.
Posted by: okaythere | June 10, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Why is it that black people seem to feel the need to use the word "shit" every third word? Seriously, if you don't want to be treated like a stereotype, don't ACT like a stereotype.
Posted by: Maven | June 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM
I'm sure that Kingston wears it to point out that he's not the brighest crayon in the box.

Posted by: Tristan | June 10, 2009 at 05:39 PM
you know what's pathetic about all of these pictures? every one of these "men" look like little boys trying to impress everyone with their "bling", when in reality, NOBODY cares anything about their "bling". it's all just a HUGE waste of money.

Some people have to buy big, flashy things to detract attention from their small, flaccid things.

Well Bob.... If that is really your name.... I must say ... I am quite fond of his "POW"... I would take it as is ;however; if I must be different... Maybe "BOOYAH"..... The POW is classic though...
Posted by: Empress Eye | June 10, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Joc's chain and T-Pain's were made by ICEBOX custom jewelry

Posted by: Empress Eye | June 10, 2009 at 11:46 PM
The whole idea of these brain-less Lemmings with no self image or self worth trying to..for lack of better terminology, trying to out idiot the next, has me worried that young black males, at least those attention whore types will never be taken seriously. Heal race relations? How about taking the camera away from these retards. Try not to look like a fuckin bafoon, you clown lookin', tastless, no priority havin', waste of space tools. This country is fucked! And yes..I intended to "dis" you..idiots..

What Bob???
Posted by: Bobby | June 11, 2009 at 03:14 AM
Man what a kitch..
Posted by: Vlad | June 11, 2009 at 03:50 AM
I thought most of those chains were funny - Bart, the cereal box, etc. At least those rappers showed some sense of humor. The author of this article, on the other hand, shows lack of braincells. "Why would a grown ass man ...." Perhaps because that man is intelligent enough to recognize the child inside him, and have fun ideas.
Posted by: Raf | June 11, 2009 at 04:58 AM
I agree with the majority of this except VERBAL's chain. It's like, three colors on the piece itself, then red, white, and blue on the band to mimic a ribbon. The marathon runner piece in the middle is awesome too.
It's not ridiculous, it's just HOT.
Also, don't you ever diss any shades that VERBAL wears. They are the best of the best.
Posted by: Jon Wood-Soju | June 11, 2009 at 11:01 AM
hey, verbal's chain is doop man
i see his chain's man is just your someone but for US that man is the one and only who does represent Mr. V and he also is a OSAKA's symbol at the same time!!!
p.s
hey verbal.
been a long time,
im not giving up yet
I'd like to do some doop and NEW thing with you one day
game is gonna NEED ME so soon
ジェッ
Posted by: NIELLON | June 11, 2009 at 01:44 PM
a lot of them chains probly ain't even paid for. And at least the ones that are can be sold when they go broke, so the jewelry's like an investment. Rich white folks buy up jewels, just not gawdy, popart shit like dat
Posted by: Rob | June 11, 2009 at 03:36 PM
VERBAL's chain is HOT! The ribbon look, the Osaka marathon runner, and the big V behind it are great looking. You're just flat out hating on it, not to mention you tried dissing VERBAL on sunglasses! Are you kidding me? VERBAL is the EPHITAMY of hot sunglasses.
Your whole article just became null and void when you included VERBAL in it, fool.
Posted by: Space Buddha Pimp | June 11, 2009 at 08:49 PM
shit would have been way funnier if it didn't try to rip on chains that are much funnier than the writing itself.
Posted by: steesalt | June 12, 2009 at 01:44 AM
I think T-Pain's Big Ass Chain should be #1. That's just ridiculous.
Also anyone remember Akon's Africa chain? I think he auctioned it off though.
Posted by: YoBeatmaker | June 12, 2009 at 02:39 AM
hahahah Agreed with steesalt. T-Pain should be number 1, it's so darn hilarious, "BIG ASS CHAIN" lol lol
Posted by: Patrickv | June 12, 2009 at 03:09 AM
no wonder ya were slaves....
Posted by: franko | June 12, 2009 at 03:28 AM
At least theyll have something to sell when these losers are in bankruptcy court.

Great post and so true!! LOL

And not one crucifix in sight....sigh!
Posted by: Don L | June 13, 2009 at 06:32 AM
ROTFL!!!@Deeze Foolz, they need to grow up before it's too late! (mature grown-ass-men don't need that kind of attention to survive) Either they are in a in a state of "Arrested Development"...or... "Developmental Retardation"!
Posted by: MrsD7777 | June 14, 2009 at 06:48 PM
People who wear ridiculous chains do so because they can afford them. You're just jealous.
Posted by: Who? | June 15, 2009 at 06:07 PM
VERBALIZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Everyone is so cool ☆:>
Posted by: kiraiz | June 15, 2009 at 09:39 PM
Everyone spends too much time worried about the next man, if that man can afford to throw his money away thats his poor decision, he doesn't owe it to you or me to play hero and spend the money he has earned on something you think is his moral obligation. It's kind of odd that more times than not the individual complaining about another man's possessions usually don't have much themselves. Would I make these purchases, no!! But is it my right to say they're wrong for spending money they've earned on something they want? NO!! sidenote: I attended the event where school boy was rockin that serious box, and I promise everybody was trying to figure out who was the cat with the cereal box on, including me and my folks!! but he wasn't even the person with the most rediculous chain at the S.E.A's that year. Another cat from memphis literally was wearing a spinning hubcap.
