A top Gucci designer and family friend,
Dapper Dan is the gold standard when it comes to fashion and style.
He is also a pioneer in using designer fabrics inside of cars.
Dapper agreed to fly in from his atelier in Harlem
to design a fully bespoke Gucci interior for a one-of-a-kind Jeep Hellfire.
-O.G., what's happening with it? -I got you, boy. Wait till you see this.
Okay, I can't wait.
Dig this. Dig this, man.
Dapper Dan, a legend, man, you know?
Dapper Dan started off,
he would take actual pieces from Gucci and other designers,
put them on an Adidas tracksuit
but he was not with them officially.
Gucci gave him a deal, I think, after he was doing it for over 40 years.
He would do interiors for the Dope Boys.
He stopped doing this in the '80s. He hasn't done it since then.
We're on the way to go meet up with him right now and link up.
Put our minds together and come up with a masterpiece to show the world.
Introduce the world back to the interior of the car.
Though he hasn't done it inside of a car since the 1980s,
I think the new Jeep Hellfire is the perfect blank canvas
for Dapper Dan to do his work.
-Yo! Man, this car is amazing, man. -Dapper Dan.
This collaboration deserves a one-of-a-kind car.
Man, when they cranked it up, I thought it was a plane taking off, man.
I thought-- Yeah, man.
This is a designer version of the Jeep you first worked on.
But this one is on steroids.
I'm gonna make this make a statement, you hear?
Yes, sir. I believe it.
Doing what we're doing here today, man, this is for the history books right here.
This is for the books, man.
This is about to be real Dapper Dan Gucci, you know what I'm saying?
I can't wait to get the finished product. That shit's gonna be so crazy.
Yeah, man, it's gonna be crazy.
Because I ain't gonna go too wild. I wanna keep it classy.
There's a lot we can play with.
When we get back, I'm gonna show you the different options we got.
This is the most significant part of everything we're getting ready to do.
This, right here, this is what I'm known for. This is called "Logomania."
So I brought all these different swatches here for you today
just to give you an idea.
We're gonna put them to bed on this one.
And when we meet back and they see that finished product,
I don't think they gonna be ready for it.
No, they ain't gonna be ready.
I just had one of the most wonderful times ever.
This is so amazing, man.
That Offset understands the significance of the history that this is making.
So when we get back to the store,
when we get back to New York and bring this whole idea together,
this is like the rebirth of the game.
Born in Harlem, raised in Harlem.
No matter where I went, I always came back here.
This is my wall of fame.
This is where it all started.
One of the first cars I did, which is my car,
that LL Cool J had in his video, "The Big Ole Butt."
I was Dapper Dan underground.
And now I'm doing it above ground.
Sanctioned by Gucci.
This is what we call the blackenization of luxury fashion.
So, what we have here is...
the patterns and everything that we use for Offset's Jeep.
What's so important about this fabric that we use for Offset
is it's durable and plus the colors are subdued.
But you can see it, you know?
So it's like a deep, deep, deep gray on black.
You can see the Gs clearly.
The Jeep wheels are gold and black,
so we thought we'd initiate the first look that he has
in black and gold garments.
This black and gold fabric was made famous by Eric B. and Rakim.
Follow the Leader.
It was launching a new musical genre that went around the world,
and now we're back here to make it completely official.
To say, "We've done it."
The next step is to let Dap's team work their magic.
The hard part is waiting to see the results.
Dap flew in to check on the work.
Make sure everything was done to its highest quality.
I can put my stamp of approval on this, 100 percent.
And this is consistent with the type of integrity and quality
that's required for Dapper Dan Gucci.
O.G., what's happening with it?
-Yes, sir. -There he go. I got you.
-The dripper himself. -Wait right here. I'll be right there.
You ain't playing no games.
-I got you, boy. Wait till you see this. -Okay, I can't wait!
Yes, sir!
Let's see what that chef cooked in that kitchen, man.
Let me show you. Dig this. Dig this, man.
-You see that? -He's not playing!
This is shit is hard as f***. Black-on-black ****, that's--
Yes, sir.
-Double Gs, man. -Double Gs.
-From the O.G., man. -Yes.
-But wait a minute. -So crazy.
-You see this? -Oh, my God!
So you see the double Gs when I pull up? That how Dap came in.
But to top that off, man? Hold up.
-There's still more? -This is history right here.
-Here's your joint. -Oh, my God!
And this one for your mom because I know you're taking her out right away.
-Look at that. -For sure!
-Dap was here! The Dan! -Yes.
-Jacket go with this car. -Yes, absolutely.
We got to go a little '80s video. This is the '80s post.
You gotta give Dap the gold.
Come on, it don't get better than that. Powerful black man in this society.
Two black men being powerful.
Assuring our culture that we can do things positive, make them as big as the world.
You know what I'm saying? That's what we do.
