Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, and Snoop Dogg are just some of the hip-hop icons featured in this collection of rap statement tees. Forever 21's vintage-themed range celebrates the best in 90s hip-hop and features over-sized staples that are both nostalgic and comfortable.

These rap statement tees are a throwback to the 90s and are adorned with vintage photographs and textual slogans. Their text is either inspired by each rapper's name or the familiar lyrics that they are synonymous with. While Forever 21's Biggie tee boasts an image of the rapper's iconic Coogie get-up, its Tupac and Snoop Dogg top is adorned with block letters that state "Thug 4 Life" and a black-and-white image of the stars.
