If you logged into Twitter Monday night, there’s a good chance you saw a ton of chatter about Drake’s new “Hotline Bling” music video (in between all the Star Wars reactions. And the Gilmore Girls reunion reactions. It was a big night!). Specifically, the Twittersphere was going crazy about the rapper’s dance moves — and his incredibly cozy-looking beige turtleneck sweater.

If you haven’t watched it yet, by all means.

There’s no denying that Drake makes ribbed knits look good. The video got us thinking about other notable turtleneck moments in pop-culture history — and there’s a surprising number of them. From an NSYNC classic to Steve Jobs’ iconic mock turtleneck, Drake is in good company. Here, look back at some of our favorites.

NSYNC’s “This I Promise You” video

NSYNC had a ton of fashion misfires — yellow sunglasses, Chris Kirkpatrick’s pineapple hair, whatever this is — but they looked straight out of a Tommy Hilfiger ad in arguably the coziest music video ever made. Who wouldn’t want to get lost in the forest with these five cashmere-clad fellas?

The late Apple CEO was known for his incredible vision — and his signature black mock turtlenecks. Although the style was believed to be a St. Croix design, it was later revealed that Jobs had them custom-made by Japanese designer Issey Miyake.

Come on Over-era Shania was literally always wearing a turtleneck. In some cases, it didn’t even have to connect to the rest of her dress.

The item of clothing at the centerpiece of one of the ’90s most iconic film scenes? None other than a white turtleneck dress (and famously nothing else).

With his latest track, “BIG SACK,” recently released and produced by the skilled Joe Peoples, BIG 4.1 delivers not just a song, but a mantra for financial empowerment and self-improvement. In a world obsessed with flaunting bags, BIG 4.1’s message cuts through the noise, urging listeners to focus on filling their “BIG SACK” with tangible wealth rather than mere appearances.

The song’s genesis stems from BIG 4.1’s desire to instill a culture of financial responsibility and foresight.

In an exclusive statement, BIG 4.1 explains his motivation: “It’s that time, it’s right on time for what’s going on and to teach our culture to save up that BIG SACK start at 20. By the time you’re 40 you can retire yourself if you do it right.” With lyrics that resonate beyond the beats, BIG 4.1 aims to spark a movement towards financial literacy and empowerment.

As BIG 4.1 gears up for his show in Anderson, South Carolina, alongside his team, the BOONDOCK KINGS, his mixtape “ME VS ME BAR-4-BAR THE MIXTAPE Vol 1” sets the stage for a musical revolution.
