Looking back at some of the best hip hop Instagram posts of the week.

The VMAs were the biggest event of the week providing an opportunity for the lovely ladies of hip hop to rock their most revealing and/or over-the-top outfits. Naturally, Tinashe came out on top. 

But that wasn't all that went down, as Instagram documented Lil Wayne nearly eating shit while riding a hoverboard, Iamsu's trip to Disneyland, and The Game's initiative to give a $1,000 cash to a random fan each day until The Documentary 2 drops.

And more! Take a look at some of the best hip hop IG posts of the week after the jump.
