Pharrell Pays Homage To Classic Hip Hop Through Iconic Grammy Hat

NEW YORK - Jan. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Jan. 26, 2015 NYC,-- At the 56^th annual Grammy Awards in 2014 artist Pharrell Williams made waves in the media with his iconic, oversized Vivienne Westwood hat. The hat quickly became the most discussed fashion statement of the Grammys that year. The general public was confused as to what the hat was a reference to; Smokey the Bear and the Arby’s logo were some popular guesses. However the hat was actually a salute to classic hip hop group The World’s Famous Supreme Team.

The World’s Famous Supreme Team is a hip hop group from the 1980’s whose most popular songs are “Buffalo Girls” and “Hey DJ.” The group wore the same style of hats as part of their look and they can be seen in action in the music video for “Buffalo Girls” sporting the iconic headgear. The World’s Famous Supreme Team will be releasing a Greatest Hits album later this year and is excited to give their fans who have not heard from them in a while something new, and gain new fans from the album and Pharrell’s public homage to them.

Since last year’s Grammys, the hat has passed through a few owners, from Pharrell to Arby’s and now the Grammy museum in Los Angeles until March 15^th. This year’s GRAMMY awards will take place February 8 at 5:00 EST. The show will be hosted by rapper LL Cool J for the fourth consecutive year and Pharrell is on the nominee list yet again, the public will have to wait and see what kind of iconic statements are made this year by him, or any other artists. The World’s Famous Supreme Team is certainly grateful for the nod.
