Trend Watch: Giant Letters

One of the pictures of Nas in last month's XXL #100 had a pictures of him with a giant (and ballin') N necklace. I figured that was just Nas being Nas until I saw the giant H in this Yung Joc video (don't watch too much of it--eskay is on the money when he calls Joc a corny mofo):

So is this a legitimate trend? Have we earned nothing from Flava Flav? Someone tell me what's going on!
