As cool as rappers may seem to you now, there was a time when your favorite spitter was in high school, and as dope as they may have seen themselves, we're certain that each one of them dealt with some serious haters. We're gonna take you on a tour of 20 rapper yearbook photos, an expansion of our previous list.
Taking a stroll down memory lane with the hottest MC's may give you the faith in yourself that even if in high school you were a total dust, you too can make it big. For example, Grover, Jamal and Milk from Comedy Central's newest animated series, Legends of Chamberlain Heights (Wednesdays after South Park), show that there's no such thing as too much confidence.
Hit the slides for 20 hilarious rapper yearbook photos.
