Jay-Z and Kanye West – “N***as in Paris” (2011)

Kanye West — he of the couture-level flow and Givenchy leather kilts — seems to mention high-fashion designers in all of his songs, but this verse is destined to become a classic. Plus, we think he deserves some credit for turning Margiela into a household name.

What’s drugs, my dealer? What’s that jacket, Margiela?
