As the main genre of music that I listen to is mainly rap and hip-hop, and being a watch guy myself, I have always been able to pick out the references to watches in many songs. This inspired me to create this video about some noticeable watch references in modern day hip-hop. I hope that you enjoy the video because I know that I had fun creating it.
Thanks for that one! Some new ones for me. Was expecting these two:
… Ball so hard, got a broke clock, Rollies that don't tick tock
Audemars that's losing time, hidden behind all these big rocks
... I think I'm Big Meech, look at my time piece
It's an Audemar, hundred racks at least

On the list for a Rollie at my AD
B**ch at the counter said you better wait ya see
'put me on some list with a load of other fools
I popped a cap in the counter and took tha jewels

A similar thread arose a while back. Some that sprung to mind...
Drake - U With Me?
Heard a lot about me 'fore we started off
I know you heard that my pool parties like Mardi Gras
I know you heard that my girl is sponsored by Audemars
That's why she always correctin' me when my time is off
Skepta - Corn on the Curb
No Rolex timepiece
No Hublot kettle
But still I know when it's time to jump in the car
Put the foot to the pedal
And quite an obscure reference, though one that made me smile when I heard it...
The Mitchell Brothers - Rushed Red
Another soldier lost
And all just because
He wanted to floss that Franck Muller watch
A Bear Pit State of Mind (The Handbag Hip Hop)
By Looking4Love
A Rap
Yeah, yeah
Ayo, my people, it's time.
It's time, my people (aight, my people, begin).
Straight out the hairy dungeons of rap.
The clock drops deep as does my G Shock.
I never argue, 'cause to argue is the mother of bitch.
Beyond the walls of watches, life is defined.
I think of hope when I'm in a Bear Pit state of mind.
Hope the scotch got some crotch.
My botch don't like no dirty tchotchke.
Run up to the notch and get the cloche.
In a Bear Pit state of mind.
What more could you ask for? The big Rolex?
You complain about hairy armpits.
I gotta love it though - somebody still speaks for the Vostock.
I'm rappin' to the handbag,
And I'm gonna move your drag.
Random, strong, quiet, like a Smiths
Boy, I tell you, I thought you were a Speedmaster.
I can't take the hairy armpits, can't take the SC shoes.
I woulda tried to fight I guess I got no news.
I'm rappin' to the drag,
And I'm gonna move your handbag.
Yea, yaz, in a Bear Pit state of mind.
When I was young my mother had a talk.
I waz kicked out without no lock.
I never thought I'd see that walk.
Ain't a soul alive that could take my Bear Pit rock.
A smelly forum is quite the decorum.
Thinking of hope. Yaz, thinking of hope (hope).
Rolled into London all the way from NZ
Me and my homey hit the Rolex AD
Man said you can’t keep the guarantee card
I said, ‘that’s perfectly reasonable, I quite understand the situation’

Talented artist, what happened to her?
I agree. Have her first (only??) album.
Same with the same genre The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.
*sigh, modern hip hop has lots its way with autotune mumble rap nonsense.
bring back the old school that actually had some lyrical dexterity.
"Runnin’ like a Rolex, stuck in the hype mode, track after track, keep it real for a fact..." - Sir Mix Alot

"They heard about the Rolex's and the Lexus, With the Texas license plates out of state...." - Biggy
"Give up the rolex watch or you won't see another day" - Gangstarr
I think that it's really cool how you were able to find some references in older rap, to mix it with all the links from modern rap.
“Sit back and let me do my thing I know what time it is from the hands on my breitling” - from the rap in Alfonso hunter’s just the way
Some outstanding freestyling going on here
“They took my rings , they took my Rolex - I looked at the brother and said damn what next “ -Warren G - Regulate
That line always seemed a little risky to me, like he’s inviting more trouble!
Recent one from Pusha T
"had to find other ways to invest cos you rappers found every way to ruin pateks"
And one from J Cole
"Armed and dangerous, call the law
Stick to the script, no audible
Country ass n**** with an Audemars
Can't spell the shit but I order more"

I've composed a verse in the contemporary style. Million-seller right here, folks. The trick is to not use any consonants, and apply anaesthetic to one's jaw before recording (also helps for the multitude of facial tattoos required to succeed in this business).

You're going to be bigger than Drake with skills like that
I can just hear Kanye saying: "Either my name goes first or I smash it right now - your call, Jay."Producer Mike Dean was given a Rolex GMT for his work on Kanye and Jay-z's Watch the Throne.
This came up on my Spotify recommended playlist randomly the other day and I thought the opening line was humorous.

Having a sandwich in his car?
I believe young Mason was referring to the diamond baton hour markers on the dial of his esteemed timepiece.
A sub could be both!
I think, sorry !, Kanye West is incredibly talented but an arsehole. Life of Pablo is a fantastic album.
