It seems like a lot of extra work just to wear something that was bought to be worn Envy agrees, “I shouldn’t have to,” he said seriously.

Unfortunately, the hip-hop community sees showing off their chains and diamonds as part of the culture. It's an expression of their creativity, some of these pieces are unique and while they seem gaudy, they hold sentimental value as well as monetary.
Envy pleaded with the community. “As a community, we have to make sure we watch each other’s backs… look out for each other.” As opposed to attacking one another over material things.
