According to a familiar cliché, a picture is worth a thousand words. Your favorite celebrities—including rappers—are doing less and less press, but luckily their thumbs and smartphones still work. Instagram has provided a way for them to document their lives and/or thoroughly embarrass themselves for our collective enjoyment. The beauty of it all is that you don’t even need to join Instagram, as most rappers are perfectly fine leaving their feeds open for public viewing. And if you’d rather avoid the IG life altogether, we’ve filtered through the top rapper’s pictures and videos and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed.
This week, OVO Chubbs comes for Tyga, Meek Mill sends a heartfelt shout out to his fans, and Dej Loaf takes aim at the Rap game with her debut mixtape Sell Sole
Drake Shoots Air Ball With University Of Kentucky Basketball
Drake recently appeared at the University of Kentucky Wildcats’ Big Blue Madness event, which was a practice open to the public. Decked out in their official blue warm-ups, the Toronto rapper/crooner shot around with the team. It was in that exact moment (because the universe is cold and cruel and indifferent) that the ESPN camera caught Drake shooting an airball. Looks like Drake wasn’t too embarrassed about it, hashtagging himself as #AirBallPapi. Caption: “#BBN #LayUpLine #AirBallPapi #BigBlueMadness #GoCatsGo”

Kevin Hart Tells Drake To “Sit The Fuck Down”… Kind Of
Drake shoots the ultimate airball in front of everyone on ESPN and of course Kevin Hart had a special message for his homie on his Instagram. Splitting the video between Drake’s spasm and Hart’s comedy special with “0-100” playing in the background all we can say is comedy gold. Caption: “That moment when you forget your profession and try and live in the moment!!!! #WTFwasHeThinking #WhyIsHeInFulluniform #HesBringingTheProgramDown #iHopeHeWasntWearingaJerseyUnderThatJacket #CanadaHatesThatHeDidThis #iHopeHeDoesaSongButHowStupidThisWas #DrakeMakesBadDecisions”

OVO Chubbs Defends Drake And Disses Tyga
Tyga recently expressed his true feelings about Drake, calling him “fake.” Leave it to the OVO fam to have each other’s backs. OVO Chubbs did some digging to find a clip of Tyga from a cancelled MTV show called “Bustas.” He then creatively adds a line from Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green, stating, “They are who we thought they were!” #OVO.

Kanye West Turn’s Up At Teyana Taylor’s Listening Session
The perks of having Kanye West as your boss is that.. he shows up at your events. G.O.O.D. Music’s Teyana Taylor recently hosted a listening session for her latest project VII. The vixen and now artist is in a great place to drop an album, considering everyone’s expectations of her are at absolute zero. If it turns out to be edible or maybe even very good, then she would have accomplished a rare feat in the world: changing the way people perceive you. The event took place in Hollywood, and was also graced by the presence of Kim Kardashian and Chris Brown. She keeps it modest by posting a silhouette of just herself at the event. No caption necessary.

Logic Shares His Love For Jedi’s and Costanza
Logic’s having the best week ever. His new album Under Pressure is earning him high praise, and he’s escaped the trenches of his wild, wayward childhood past. Still, he’s down to earth enough to share his love for all things 90s nerdy. Nothing like Jedi’s and Costanza to let ‘em know it’s not you, it’s me.

Run The Jewels 2 Gets The Confectionary Treatment
Obviously, Killer Mike and El-P’s RTJs 2 is one of the most anticipated projects of the year, and not only does the record come with pure savagery from the two artists, but also with… cake. Apparently, someone whipped up this delectable example of when keepin’ it real goes right, and we can’t help but wonder… Can we start a kickstarter for Run The Cake now? Caption: “Happy #RTJ Day!”
