Mostly one did it and others tried to copy.

Blaze wore one around his neck but it had bullet holes and blood stains on it.

This is so they can keep track of how much of their limited time on the planet they have left.

You see one black dude with a clock on his neck and suddenly its all rappers?

Posted: 1/5/2010 4:47:43 PM EDT

[#16]

Just to Stand out and see if anyone was dumb enough to copy them, just like the way they hold their pistol sideways because that's the way they picked it up out of the box and the rest just copy them.

Flava Flav started it (the first two pics).

He was a "hype man", who got the crowd riled up. He wears it because he "knows what time it is".

The third one looks like a Halloween costume.

Flav wasn't really a rapper. He was comedic relief for when Chuck D was taking a break from ripping shit up.

For the same reason that the same person(Flav) would were diapers on the outside of a $5000 suit. The answer is simple: it's a retarded culture for retarded people(the whole rap thing, not blacks in general, observe the photo of the whigger).
