The 10 Best Sneaker References in Hip Hop in 2015

G-Eazy
Track: Random
Verse:

California out to Georgia, Florida then up to Illinois
When I listen to your music I just feel annoyed
Haters, I don’t understand them
Bred Jordan ones from two thousand and one

Haters are so annoying. Especially when they don’t know your “Bred” Jordan 1s are from 2000 and 1. For real. Gotta give props, most rappers are just talking about sneakers from today. It’s kind of stuntin’ for G-Eazy to drop the 2001 reference. You have to know your shit, or at least be smart enough to Google before writing that lyric.
