Polo Ralph Lauren wasn’t originally meant for the hip-hop community until the Lo-Lifes, a crew of Brooklyn teenagers, adopted the label and made it their own in the late ‘80s. It exploded in the streets and by the ‘90s, Polo was an inescapable part of hip-hop culture, from music videos to magazine covers. Despite the sometimes rocky relationship between the vastly different worlds, Polo has become an integral component of the hip-hop community for the last three decades. An all-star line up including A$AP Ferg, 2 Chainz, Fabolous, Tyson Beckford, Daymond John, Raekwon, Dapper Dan, Fonzworth Bentley, Michaela Angela Davis and more share their first-hand insights on the legendary brand’s connection to the culture in Complex's documentary, "Horse Power."

Polo is about the only fashion brand that has a line for every tax bracket. You can be a working class person raising a family and can afford to by your children polo outfits for school and not break the bank. Then as your income bracket goes up there is a polo fashion line for you. If only our fashion designers could understand this concept.

Hands down this is the best documentary everrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! I recently (2018) just got into POLO because of my older brother. I was always a TH Guy, but I was in Macy's waiting on my wife to hurry up, (which she never did, LoL) and I tried on a Polo Rugby, and it felt so bloody premium mate, I was like I have to have this. Bought it and I've been buying and wearing POLO ever since. No 70 pieces later, Im still trying to build my collection... But I went another route too, I not only purchased from Macy's that day, that weekend I called my guy at TD Ameritrade and I purchased some RL Stock. Now its like Im paying myself to shop at POLO. #dreambig #PRL #winning

He actually gave him a check. In an article Puba said: "Tommy was very supportive [of me]. Whenever I had a show or video to shoot, they made sure I was good. They gave me whatever I needed. I could go to the warehouse in Jersey and get whatever I wanted. One time, Tommy even wrote me a check-a nice sum of money, six figures or something like that, to say thank you. He actually just called me out of the blue and was like, “Hey, here you go, man. Thanks a lot.” I guess it was for doing everything that I did to help his brand." It's from this article: www.complex.com/style/2016/08/tommy-hilfiger-hiphop-oral-history

I loved this documentary, and I have been wearing Polo for over 20 years now, and I am a black man, but I think an argument has to be made here. Some may think it is pointless, others may think I have a point, but I just think it needs to be said. I think the title of this documentary is backwards. It should be called Polo Ralph Lauren's impact on Hip-Hop, and not how they have it stated. Using specific points from the doc itself, Hip-Hop didn't even start wearing PRL until a low level street gang was boosting Polo stores in order to acquire it. The Lo Lifes even said themselves, they were wearing polo because it made them feel rich, if they had $2 in their pocket it didn't matter because they looked fresh. So the simple fact that they just wanted to look like they weren't from the projects, doesn't have much to do with Hip-Hop. Next, is simply PRL's influence on specific black men in the rap game to start their own brands. Jay's Rocawear, Diddy's Sean John, even Damon John's Fubu, were all influenced by PRL, and were pretty much a carbon copy in terms of style. The collared golf shirt is a main stay in polo, and something those other three brands tried to emulate. Next, the Tommy Hilfiger perspective. In the doc they stated that PRL was not even trying to go after Hip-Hop, as to where Tommy's main campaign at one point was putting the biggest stars in the industry in his clothing. Hip-Hop directly impacted Tommy Hilfiger, but it did not directly impact PRL. Lastly, for that lady to say Polo was "lucky" that Hip-Hop chose them, that is an absolutely ignorant and asinine statement to make, and another reason that PRL impacted Hip-Hop. PRL didn't need Hip-Hop to be successful, as they were already successful and doing just fine. Even now, Polo is just fine, they make a lot of their revenue from sponsorships too, it isn't just clothes. For her to say Polo is lucky implies that they were a struggling brand that was uplifted by rappers suddenly wearing PRL clothing. That is ridiculous. It is a simple argument, and one that may not even mean too much, but I think it deserves some consideration. Horse Power: Polo Ralph Lauren's impact on Hip-Hop Culture.

Excellent coverage. As a designer, maybe mentioning... you know... the designers would have been cool for like 30 seconds. Unless you think Ralph Lauren is actually designing the clothing he sells in Macy's. At this stage -- and for the last several decades, he has provided creative direction. He employs designers.

I took polo from Ralph Lauren and still buy it to this day. I remember polo being such a big thing. The street guys looked at as casual dressers early on. As kids from the projects always wanted what we couldn’t afford. The cars, clothes and electronics

Been rocking Polo since the 90's ! I slipped up and switched to Sean John mid to late 2000's. It just didnt feel right switching from an iconic brand so I packed up all my Sean John, donated it and started collecting thats right collecting Polo once again. I vowed to NEVER abandon Polo again ! Lol.. It just feels and looks right on me ! Quality material and a vast of different styles make it my main clothing line to shop for, rock, and represent ! I have Polo shirts, sweaters, & jackets from the early 2000's that still look fresh ! Thou I wasnt from BK this BX head was rocking LO like I was misplaced in the wrong borough at times, lol.. My man wasnt lying about getting tested if you had on some LO, there were many of nights on the train where it got kind of grimmy and gritting where you had to get down for yours, lol.. That part while now is funny sure wasnt back then but I survived and am happy I was engulfed in that culture of fashion back then which I still rep now !!! BIG PROPS to COMPLEX on this Doc, you guys did your thing !!!

Ralph went to FIT with my Aunt Norma, when he was a tie salesman. I was at work at Tommy at 601 W. 26th Street when Tommy was showing Kanye around, I was wearing an oversized TH logo fabric swatch sample doubled over into a bandana which inspired Kanye’s Jay Z Rihanna “Run this Town” Oversized Bandana look which boosted that whole movement. Kanye was wearing a Pony sweater with a Red Moncler Vest over it, and both Kanye and Tommy Hil gave me the big smile and nod
