Dating back to verse of “Rapper’s Delight,” Hip Hop has been greatly influenced with a strong love of automobiles.
Blender Magazine‘s website has listed some of the Hip Hop communities’ most coveted rides. Included are the Lincoln Continental, various Mercedes Benzes, 1964 Chevrolet Impala, the Bentley and the Maybach. The staff at Blender chronicled the lyrical beginnings of many of these cherished whips.
These cars all come with a price tag, but in this case the bigger, the better, and the more impressive.
Blender also included some famous lyrics, discussing these historical cars.
“I got two big cars that definitely ain’t the wack / I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac.” – Sugar Hill Gang, “Rapper’s Delight,” 1979.
“It goes chromes to the Fleetwoods, Coupes to the ’Villes/ Hittin’ Girbauds and off these flows we havin’ the playa chill.” OutKast, “Two Dope Boyz (in a Cadillac),” 1996.
