When a trend pops off, sometimes rappers hop on it in unison so excessively that years later it becomes an easy way to contextualize the era. No disrespect to Miss Minaj, but we may as well label circa '04-'06 The Pink Print Age, because that's all your favorite MCs were about. Your boy Killa Cam had former drug dealers rocking deep shades of magenta for Christ's sake.  It finally died down but it hasn't died out. Every now and then a rapper will switch up the all-black leather look for something bolder and brighter, and, of course it's not like it was unheard of before that as well. Reflect back on one of rap's most cringe-worthy style obsessions with this Brief History of Rappers Wearing Pink.
