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

In last week's edition of "28 Grams," E-40's "Slurricane" line of adult beverages continued to expand its sphere of influence. This week the rapper continued his global takeover by announcing a new 40-oz malt liquor called, naturally, "E-40." Of course, there were other, lesser good things that went down in Instagram this week -- the Fiddy v. Diddy vodka war reached new heights, a bunch of rappers dropped album covers, and Kanye, lots of Kanye.

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

First Slurricane, then Earl Stevens Mangoscato, and now E-40 malt liquor. E-40 is a marketing genius.

Wiz Khalifa (@mistercap)

Wiz Khalifa got arrested for refusing to get off his hoverboard, then stuck around LA long enough to join Rita Ora at her concert to premiere their new collaboration "Religion." "Of course I'll come see you perform," he wrote in the caption.

50 Cent (@50cent)

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

50 and Diddy's vodka war escalated this week, with French Montana entering the fray. 50 posed with an elderly homeless man and wrote the following caption: "Me and PUFF sat and kicked it today he said, 50 I'm getting to old for this sh!t. I said I KNOW."

Currently in the midst of his "One Hell of a Nite" tour, French had some harsh words for ol' 50 and his precious Effen Vodka.

Juicy J (@juicyj)

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

Three legends, Kanye West, Juicy J, & Rick Rubin. Juicy wasn't the only person to score hang time with Kanye this week...

Travi$ Scott (@travisscott)

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

La Flame had the opportunity to turn up in the kitchen with Kanye, presumably showing him Rodeo for the first time.

Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

Now that he's dating Khloe, James Harden is kicking it with Kanye and the Kardashians. Let's hope he doesn't pull a Lamar Odom.

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

The most Future picture of all time.

Macklemore (@macklemore)

28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (August 22-28)

Oprah laying the mack down on Nas.
