Drake-mania continued this week with the release of the Hype Williams-directed visual for “Forever,” the first single off of the soundtrack for the LeBron James documentary, More Than a Game. When we first heard Drizzy was going to shoot a video for the heavyweight-rap track, we couldn’t wait to see just what kind of crazy, game-changing shit him, Kanye, Weezy, and Eminem were going to pull. Unfortunately all we got was a bunch of flashing lights, a few cameos, and a tribute to Bron Bron…We might have judged a little early.
Whatever your verdict on the video is, the fact remains that these four artists are some of the most exciting dudes in music, with their own distinctive styles to match—Kanye with his high-fashion steez, Wayne at the height of his rockstar phase, Eminem with the “I’m going on a jog” look, and Drake with his “I like high-priced designers” look. If you’re looking to swag-jack any rappers, these might be the four to start with. Below, we break down and recreate each rapper’s look. Stick with us—as long as you keep reading, we’ll keep you stylish forever.

The “Space Jam” XIs are going to be tough to get, here’s the release info. [Nice Kicks]
Jordan Brand really knows how to give a swift kick to your pockets right before you have to penny-pinch and spend paper on others. In the heart of X-Mas shopping season, JB will drop the 11/12 countdown package tomorrow (12/20/08) that contains the Black/Red XI'one of the most coveted J’s of all time.
MJ debuted the XI in the 1995-96 season, and as Nice Kicks so precisely points out, scored 40 or more points in nine games while wearing the patent-tipped bangers. This same colorway was retroed in 2001, and sold out quicker than T.I did for N.B.C. If the holy grail of the black/red XI wasn't enough to cop, look at the other shoe'the black/white Jordan XII'included in the pack below. Set the alarm, it’s going to be an early and expensive morning.
