The Top 5 Products We Die For

4. 8 Ball Jackets
Manufactured by leather impressario Michael Hoban and his North Beach Leather brand, these jackets were made popular by the legendary R&B/Hip-Hop group, Salt and Pepa, who rocked their 8 Ball Jackets in their “Push It” video.
Soon thereafter, 8 Ball Jackets became associated with gang violence and the early 90s crack trade that dominated many cities. In 2009, the NYPD traveled to Goergia to arrest a 38-year-old Bronx native for the 1991 murder of a teenager killed for his 8 Ball jacket.

Thanks for explaining what an 8-ball jacket is, JH!

Never heard of the jacket before, but I don’t watch or listen to rap or hip-hop junk.
