"Grace Jones a été l'une des premières à porter ce look sur la couverture de l'album Warm Leatherette de 1980. Il a rapidement gagné en popularité dans la communauté hip-hop, étant porté par des artistes comme Big Daddy Kane, Cameo et Eric B. Christopher "Kid" Reid (du duo de rap Kid n'Play). Reid était tristement célèbre pour ce look, faisant culminer la hauteur de son haut plat à dix pouces. Certains disent que l'inspiration est venue de la reine Nefertiti, dont la couronne ressemblait à celle de la reine. Will Smith a accru la popularité de ce style lorsqu'il l'a porté dans la série télévisée à succès Le Prince de Bel-Air.

Le look a commencé à s'estomper dans les années 1990 ; il a ensuite connu une résurgence dans les années 2010 avec des artistes comme Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar et will. i. am., qui ont tous ramené le style à ses racines militaires.
Autre(s) nom(s) : Flat Top" - Stephane Alexis

"Grace Jones was amongst the first to wear this look on the album cover of 1980’s Warm Leatherette. It quickly gained prominence in the hip-hop community, being worn by artists like Big Daddy Kane, Cameo, and Eric B. Christopher “Kid” Reid (from the rap duo Kid n’Play). Reid was infamous for this look, peaking the height of his flat top at ten inches. Some say the inspiration came from Queen Nefertiti, whose crown it resembled. Will Smith increased the popularity of this style when he sported it on the hit TV show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The look began to fade in the 1990s; it has since made a resurgence since the 2010s with artists like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and will. i. am., all of whom brought the style back to its military roots.
Other name(s): Flat Top" - Stephane Alexis
