Maybe back in the day you'd want to look like your favorite rapper by buying Adidas and Lee jeans rather than wear their name on your chest.

But after Public Enemy in 1989, everyone (label or artist) should have hired some graphic designers and put together logos for stickers and t-shirts. Wu Tang and Hiero seem to be the only folks who thought about that during the last Golden Age...and today it seems like only folks that sell to skateboarders do it now.
