Jim Jones Claims His Influence On Hip Hop Fashion Is ‘Even More Prevalent’ Today

Jim Jones is a hip-hop pioneer. His influence on the culture cannot be denied, and now, he’s claiming credit for some of the fashion that fans have seen on modern rap stars today.

Jones took to his Instagram and shared an old magazine article featuring a photo of his younger self in tight (by the standards of the time) but oversized jeans, a skull belt buckle, and a leather jacket — very similar to what many artists of today wear.
