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

There is much we can learn from rap Instagram, much to read between the lines as rappers attempt to craft their image without pesky publicists looking over their shoulder. This week was an eclectic one in the hip hop world, as Diddy headed to the strip clip, Talib Kweli put on a free concert in St. Louis for the one year anniversary of the Ferguson riots, and Boosie Badazz posed with some jumbo-sized blunt wraps. 

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