Pimp Hats
Pimp Hatz, Sheazit! In the United States, urban
pimps
and prostitutes began to constitute an imaginary colorful and overly
dramatized subculture starting in the 1970s. American pimps would be
seen as people from a lower-class urban setting without a higher
education dressed in wild, flashy clothes and wearing big furry wide
brimmed pimp hats.
The imagery of the pimp lifestyle has been
popularized
by hip-hop culture since the 1980s. Artists such as Snoop Dogg, Ice-T,
Jay-Z, The Game, Ludacris, Ice Cube, Roberto Sanchez and Too $hort paid
obvious tribute to pimping within their lyrics.
Many hip-hop artists have embraced a modern
version of
the pimp image in their music videos by including flashy jewelry and
cool pimp hats like the felt fedora. Today's urban comedians also sport
flashy fedora hats which are also known in pop culture as pimp hats.
TheFedoraStore.com offers a large selection of
urban
headwear, from Kangol hats and caps, to felt fedora hats for men from
companies like Bailey and Beaver Brand. These styles, when worn in
context, are commonly referred to as pimp hats. It's easy to find your
