Buy or Sell: Biggie had a hand in ushering in materialism?

BUY BUY BUY: When he first came out he was puttin everybody on to the "nicer" things in life. Everything from Versace, Coogi, Moschino, Rolex, Bentlys. Anyone who was at their prime when he first came out will tell you that the average n*gg was not hip to a lot of luxurious items that he was spittin about. I think NYC was a major influence to his privy-ness, but he made materialism mainstream more than any other rapper out during that time.
