A$AP Rocky's just knighted his 3 best-dressed rappers ever ... calling Brand Nubian's Grand Puba, Kanye West and Pharrell as the most jiggy to ever do it!!!
Rocky made the selections Monday in a new convo with Complex as the Harlem rapper's currently on a mission to put more people into Formula 1 racing gear.
Puba's the senior man of the bunch, which explains why Rocky named him first ... the NYC legend was putting himself on display in big gold rope necklaces and Tommy Hilfiger in the '80s and '90s ... a definitive pioneer for a swag that still exists to this day.
He's still fly and active to this day -- he just performed alongside dozens of fellow hip hop legends at the City of Hope fundraiser last week!!!
Kanye's and Pharrell's contributions to the fashion world extend well past the average rapper's benchmarks ... Ye's made Adidas billions of bucks with his Yeezy shoe empire ... a windfall the company felt in its chest after their split last year.
And, Pharrell's the current head of Louis Vuitton Men's department ... not your run-of-the-mill gig and he's still giving top props to Kanye!!!
Rocky was asked to exclude himself but his expertise on the matter makes him the 4th in line for rap's Mt. Dressmore -- not a bad runway lineup!!!
