How the G-Dep "Let's Get It" Music Video Predicted All of Today's Style Trends

G-Dep was, well, a G. His Bad Boy Records 2001 album Child of the Ghetto was a certified banger and he was caking with one of the best entrepeneurs in the game. Unfortunately, the things that he rapped about—rampant drug use, living in poverty, and toting a gun for protection—weren't just hyperbole. He lived that shit. But, at least he can rest his laurels on one thing: His video for the single "Let's Get It" is the inspiration for many of your favorite style trends today.

Between G-Dep, Diddy, and Black Rob, not only did the trio open the world's eyes to the artform that is the real Harlem Shake, but they dropped some serious fashion gems that we weren't even ready for back then. However, someone from the Illuminati must've watched "Let's Get It" recently and decided to bring all the dope shit from the video back to the forefront of fashion.

You can thank Bad Boy Records for letting such awesomeness rain down upon us back in '01, because now, 12 years later, we can finally understand How the G-Dep "Let's Get It" Music Video Predicted All of Today's Trends.

Appears during: When you're ready. Shit, I was born ready/And I was already on fish and spaghetti.

This isn't the first "Bay Boy" basketball jersey, but it's definitely the best. And it's safe to say it helped push forward a movement of non-athletic fashion jerseys within the rap game that spurred into the fashion phenomenon we see today.

Appears during: Really, get smacked silly, you get smacked silly/Fucking with these niggas from the, what you gon' do

This video slapped the competition so silly that Black Rob probably had to wear gloves to soften the sting. Where do you think Drizzy Drake got the look from when he was bodying the opposition?

Appears during: Ayo, call me Diddy. I run this city/Send the cops, the DA and Feds to come get me

Sometimes, you have to keep style v. casual while being v. swag at the same time, and that's exactly what the Diddler did while rocking tights under the shorts. A hard trend to pull off because you have to be v. boss-like in your confidence to do so.

Appears during: I be the Eastside Soprano, Rob Marciano/Flow in e'ry channel with the Iverson handle

Pay homage to the Bad Boys Fendi-printed jackets with boldness smacks you in the face like you just tasted the latest extreme Doritos x Taco Bell remix. These shits go hard and we wouldn't have any high fashion jackets with dope prints on them if it weren't for these fashion-forward geniuses.

Appears during: Make this money, take this money/Ain't no way you can take this from me

Ooooh, kill 'em, Diddy! The inspiration for En Noir's current bangers are an existential commemoration to Diddy's swaggerlicious version as he bops his way throughout this certified banger.

Appears during: Soul Controller, rap Ayattolah/Kids hate me when they older, I put cracks by the stroller

Yes, it was a Kangol. And yes, it was still oh-so-right. Rocking the bucket hat like the wavy man he truly was, G-Dep perfectly pieced together his 'fit with the hat pulled low and his gullyness turned all the way the fuck up.

Appears during: Man I flow straight up out the water/I'mma break the game 'til it say out of order

That's right, motherfuckers; Timbs. Sweet, sweet, 6" black Timberland boots. Did they exist before G-Dep rocked them in the video? Probably. Does it matter? No, because G-Dep had on full display the boot's excellence.

Appears during: I'm the Bad Boy flavor, light blue gators/Not guilty and I'm filthy

By this point, you've definitely seen dudes in all-black-everything except for their kicks. Switching it up at the feet is something that Diddy's been diding because he's the OG no-fuck-giver, and he provided the only shade of color in the video.

Appears during: If you cats wanna leave me for dead, you're coming with me/Getting head in the Bentley red at 150

Diddy goes on to say that he loves two things; his family and his music. It's obvious he also loves terrorizing the fashion world with his incredible sense of style, especially being the Patron saint of monochromatic layering with black and white.

Appears during: Creep with your people, though my shit is sweet and low it's no equal

Leather sweatpants are currently public enemy #1 in the fashion world, while simultaneously being one of the most rapid-growing trends we've seen in a while. And who introduced them to the world? I think you get the point. Now, let's get it.
