The ORIGINAL Kings of Bling! ! !

Recession got you down..? Well let us take this time to remember some of the original icons of black extravagance. These Bruthas balled like a dawg at a time when black people we lucky to land a roll as an extra...let alone really damn SHINE!!! These are the ORIGINAL KiNGS OF BLING!!!

These kats here are some of the unsung heroes of the ICE-AGE. Partly because it won't no Bruthas on the tube, and partly because all three of these cats were just the shit..

Off jump, we got the "The JYD"...The JunkYardDog. Hailing from the N.O. this dude right here is a ol' skool Hot Boy Shawty! Fa all ya'll young punks out there who never got to see The JYD in action this dude used ta be on tV way back in the eighties when the world still thought wrestling was real. He was a head-bussa(hand in fist) know all the way from August,GA ta Japan for whoopin dat ass..ha ha. The JunkYardDog didn't take no shit & was KRUNK as hell every time he entered the arena!!! He stayed on some hOOd shiT and was always FRESH ta DEF when not in the ring. He was such a "G" he even had one interview wit 2 Fly-Ass hood chicks cooking up Soul-fOOd for the JYD & his peeps..dead ass. ha ha

The JYD stayed SHINING on foos' WORLD-WiDE beginning in the early eighties...His pieces might not be as big ass Ghost shit, but damn Shawty this was like 82'...Bottom line he was on of the first kats ta be on TV wearin all dat jury..

Even though the white folks at his job wasn't really feelin all that "ghetto ass jewelery" while he was in his "uniform" The "JYD" did keep it "100" and said fuk dat shit.. keeping at least one of his rope joints on deck at all times...For the record he never got jacked fa his shit. Sylvester Ritter...AN ORIGINAL KiNG OF BLING ~R.I.P. JYD~


Up next we got dat BoY Mr.T!! Holdin iT Down fa Chi-Town!! Reppin dem "A-Team" Gangstas. Mr.T started stuntin on kats early in the game as bouncer at a club where he used ta beat da brakes off of foos' and throw them out the club. He actually came up on his jewels by taking/finding peoples shit at the club...damn. He would be posted right out front the club, so if anybody came back looking fo dey shit they could see it right on his neck...Clearly, not many people came back for dey shit...lol(smh)

When I was kindergarten me & my lil homies went to Toy "R" Us one Saturday morning and got to met Mr.T, he gave us dap & said something I can't remember anymore...That shit was tight.. Outside of doing it BiG for da shorties Mr.T also used ta be on da hoes. He stayed SHINING and never got "tried". Laurence Tureaud...AN ORIGINAL KiNG OF BLING!!


Last but not least in this line of innovators we have "The Ruler"...SLiCK!....RiCK!! This dude was the koldest story teller since Dr. Seuss and he had the krazy London accent..SOUTH WIMBLEDON Stand UP!!! For the only dude in the rap game soo icey enough to publicly lay the SHiNE on Ghostface neck...damn g.

This dude used ta look like he walked right outta Tut's Tomb wit all da illest pieces. Unlike "The JYD" and "Mr.T", Slick Rick was a lil dude...a slim cutter...a smooth ass Playa who ain't work out shit but his trigger finger. "The Ruler" actually did a nice lil bid in Rikers for two-counts of attempted murder behind some haters tryin ta set him up fa his SHINE. Ricky Walters..AN ORIGINAL KING OF BLING
