Gas, Brake, Dip. Ghost Ride The Whip! A Brief Look At Hip Hop's Motorheads

Hip hop jewelry isn't the only accessory getting bigger & more ridiculous over the years, rappers' rides have too. Countless songs have been dedicated to the ultimate bling - from spinning rims & gold chain steering wheels to hopping hydraulics and bumpin trunks. And, like the music, things get dropped, chopped, screwed & remixed until the crowd goes wild! Rides get pimped, tires get smoked, dubs get dirty... Ya got your ghost riders, lowriders, drifters and sliders. Serious scrapers to ridin-high racers, fast as a nascar or sticky icky slow. You've heard the hype and smelled the rubber, but if you think hip hop's car culture is all bling and bass, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
Ever wonder what happens to hydraulic hoopties in the hands of ghost-ridin gear heads? What if your whip happens to be a military-issued assault vehicle and the sideshow spot is in Iraq? Can a school bus be cool enough to curb truancy? Grab the Henny, roll a blunt & push play to find out!

Just add thizz for ridiculousness like this:
Of course, everyone has different tastes when it comes to bling. Some just want it BIG. Some want it shiny. Me, I'm with Tigra and Bunny on this one - coz We Like The Cars, the cars that go BOOM! Ya feel me? Then you need to turn this next one up to full volume:

When I think about cars in hip hop videos, I immediately think of the Big Tymers "Get Your Roll On" video. Nobody stunted as hard as Cash Money Records in the late 90s. I think this was the first time I saw someone doing donuts in a lambourghini.
that vid is sick!! there's sooooo many vids i thought about posting, this could seriously go on infinitely. i spent a whole day in amazement at what some peeps were doin these days. like '67 Impalas that can hop so high that it wrecks the trunk from hittin the pavement! i live in a neighborhood where crazy hip hop cars cruise all the time, so i'm kinda immersed/obsessed. one vid i totally forgot to include here -
Redman: everybody get yr hybrid roll on?
