Go read Wikipedia. Hell go watch Crush Groove.

Didn’t set trends?

Wrong

No backstory?

Wrong. Were you born yesterday?

You just typed a whole lot of wrong shit ...good lord .

I’ll give you a little bit of history since you’re uninformed.

LL and Mc Shan set trend of wearing Kangols out of Queens

And LL is the one who made Troop jackets and troop gymshoes popular.
Similar to Kanye bringing BAPE to the mainstream. No one else was wearing
troop or knew what it was

LL was the one who brought Dookie rope chains and made it popular.
When he sported a thick dookie rope with no shirt on...everyone followed
that trend of wearing truck jewelry.

Please go research because you sound foolish.
