Does your chain hang low? Does it wobble to and fro'? Is it proof positive that once you made some money you felt the need to show how opulent your lifestyle had become by dangling a dazzling display of blood diamonds from your neck? If you answered "yes" to or all (or any of these questions) then congratulations – you've made it onto StreetLevel's list of most obnoxious chains. Some of these pieces may be familiar and some may be new to you, but rest assured they're all equally ignorant.

See SL's list of most obnoxious chains after the jump.

1) Rick Ross Gets "Face," Literally

There's feeling yourself and then there's really feeling yourself and we can't think of anything as masturbatory as getting a bejeweled replica of your mug as pendant on your chain. Why wait for people to make a monument to you when you can do it for yourself? We salute you Officer Ricky, you fly high.

2) Lil' Jon's Big Fail

Q: Y'know how you know that a musical sub-genre is a dead, stinking, rotting corpse in a trash bag?
A: When the biggest purveyor of said sub-genre gets a chain that claims that it isn't. YEEEEEEEEEEAH!

3) Yung Berg: Victim In Disguise

When rap-singer Yung Berg copped this pendant we know what he was thinkin': "Man, I'ma get an icey Autobot symbol as big as my face. I'll impress all the chicks with the diamonds and the dudes with my reference to iconic 1980s cartoons and toys. Holla." Little did he know that the giant diamond-encrusted emblem would make him a target for chain snatchin'. Who knew hanging out in Detroit was so dangerous?




4) Soulja Boy of Fortune

It sounds messed up, but maybe some people are better off broke. Although we turn our collective swag on to Soulja Boy Tell 'Em every day we still can't excuse him buying this from some unscrupulous jeweler who thought it'd be funny to ice out a Tyco toy with a remote control and sell it back to this young fool man as chain. Where will will SB be in 10 years if he keeps doing stuff like this? Think "MC Hammer" and "reality show."

5) Chris Brown's Folly

When you're kinda in trouble with the law and the media and fans for alleged domestic abuse you want to make yourself seem as remorseful as possible. What better to say"my bad" than an ostentatious "oops!" chain? That's right Chris, say it with diamonds, your sincerity will never be a question for us.

6) Nigo: A Frosted Ape


Hip-hop is great because it brings cultures that would've never cross-pollinated together like nothing else. Because of rap, a young [euphemism alert] urban culture-obsessed Japanese clothing designer and an admittedly nerdy musician from Virginia could join forces together and push the limits of gaudiness. Nigo's hefty dollar sign rope chain says" I have so much yen that I don't know what to do with myself, so I got this symbol so that you know that although I may not speak your language well, I can still buy your life, you silly American." Or maybe that's just what we think it means.

7) T-Pain's Rather Large Pendant and Necklace

What's a bro to do when he's exhausted all of his creativity but still wants to make an unintentionally ironic fashion statement with jewelry? If you guessed "get a Prince Albert [NSFW] and walk around with your fly open" you guessed wrong. You have to do it like T-Pain did and get a piece of jewelry to that is huge, shiny and most of all, direct.

This chain is on a level of douchebaggery only attained by guys who wear "World's Biggest Midget" shirts. Although they're saying autotune is dead, T-Pain's legacy is solidified by this soon-to-be-on-eBay monument to the entertainment industry's excess.
