Some clothing styles fashionable in hip hop culture (such as loose, baggy garments) allegedly derive from uniforms issued to prison inmates, from hand me downs, or because they are useful when shoplifting.
Missy Elliott's song "Back in the Day" describes some hip hop fashions, including "laces all phat."
