Kolloquial's line of lyrical totes is not for the casual rap listener. If your only knowledge of Jay-Z is your ability to quote the chorus of '99 problems,' then you probably don't have enough street cred to rock one of these bags. On the other hand, if you're one of those avid fans who laments that "rap isn't what it used to be," you will most definitely appreciate these [hip-hop throwbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-2) by legends such as Tupac and [Snoop Dogg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoop-dogg-3) (or should we say Snoop Lion?).

The American-made, all-organic [canvas tote bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse) have hand-stitched cursive lettering proclaiming all of your favorite lyrics, from Blackstreet's "No diggity, no doubt" to Tag Team's "Whoomp! There it is."

There is simply no better way to pay tribute to your favorite tracks, then to emblazon the insanely quotable, often applicable lyrics on your person.
