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

The Shootrr (@theshootrr)
Future, Weezy, DJ Khaled, in the studio as well, cooking up hits.
