Polo Ralph Lauren: Don't Believe The Hype

Complex's weekly series Don't Believe the Hype takes a look at what's hot and what's just hot air. Sneakers, clothes, tech, food-nothing is safe. So when it comes to clothes, one of the most popular brands of all-time is Ralph Lauren's long-running Polo brand. Rappers such as Kanye, 2 Chainz, and ASAP Ferg amongst others have adopted the brand into hip hop's subculture, which is the subject of Complex's new documentary, "Horse Power". But after more than 50 years of clothing, plenty of imitators have made much cheaper versions of the threads, so is Polo equal to the high-priced hype? Speedy finds out in this episode.
