Drake’s Instantly Iconic "Hotline Bling" Sweater and More Great Moments in Turtleneck History

Published

on

If you logged into Twitter Monday night, there’s a good chance you saw a ton of chatter about Drake’s new “Hotline Bling” music video (in between all the Star Wars reactions. And the Gilmore Girls reunion reactions. It was a big night!). Specifically, the Twittersphere was going crazy about the rapper’s dance moves — and his incredibly cozy-looking beige turtleneck sweater.

If you haven’t watched it yet, by all means.

There’s no denying that Drake makes ribbed knits look good. The video got us thinking about other notable turtleneck moments in pop-culture history — and there’s a surprising number of them. From an NSYNC classic to Steve Jobs’ iconic mock turtleneck, Drake is in good company. Here, look back at some of our favorites.

NSYNC’s “This I Promise You” video

NSYNC had a ton of fashion misfires — yellow sunglasses, Chris Kirkpatrick’s pineapple hair, whatever this is — but they looked straight out of a Tommy Hilfiger ad in arguably the coziest music video ever made. Who wouldn’t want to get lost in the forest with these five cashmere-clad fellas?

Nothing says “Stay classy, San Diego” quite like Will Ferrell in his signature off-duty turtleneck.

The late Apple CEO was known for his incredible vision — and his signature black mock turtlenecks. Although the style was believed to be a St. Croix design, it was later revealed that Jobs had them custom-made by Japanese designer Issey Miyake.

Come on Over-era Shania was literally always wearing a turtleneck. In some cases, it didn’t even have to connect to the rest of her dress.

The item of clothing at the centerpiece of one of the ’90s most iconic film scenes? None other than a white turtleneck dress (and famously nothing else).

Which iconic turtleneck moment is your favorite? And are you listening to “Hotline Bling” on repeat today too?

Mobby Rosas – “Up To Sum” f/ Westside Boogie (Video) + “The 4th Step” (Album)

Published

The track “up to sum” is one of my favorite stories of how a collaboration came about. WESTSIDE BOOGIE had posted an open verse challenge for his song “Mood” on instagram and I picked it up. I’ve done a few open verse challenges before, to no favorable outcome other than just posting more content. I didn’t think much would come of this verse entry. I recorded my video audition for the song while at work, I was a server at a hotel restaurant in downtown LA, in uniform and all. I posted it and tagged WS Boogie and to my surprise, he DM’d me saying that he thought my verse was hard and if I ever wanted him on a project, he was down. I remember reading the message at work and being in shock. I had wanted to work with WS Boogie for years and had even tried to reach out in the past, to no response. I immediately hopped on the opportunity to.
