<P> In the 1993 hit song by Diggable Planets , the song `` Rebirth of Slick ( Cool Like Dat ) '' you can hear the female sing `` Bling ! Bling ! Bling ! Bling '' in the background . The term was used in this way to describe a gaudy piece of jewelry , for example the otherwise rotten gold - toothed smile and stereotypical pimp jewelry of the character `` Jerome '' on the television series Martin . Jesse West ( known as rapper 3rd Eye ) is cited as perhaps the first rapper to use the complete term `` bling bling '' on Super Cat 's 1993 hit `` Dolly My Baby ( Remix ) '' -- a song that West produced , and also featured Puff Daddy and a young Biggie Smalls in his record debut . </P>
