28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (Oct 17-23)

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. TIDAL X 1020 and Powerhouse NYC went down at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Tinashe posed for Playboy, and Boosie was up to his usual bag of tricks.

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

Tinashe may be a dime who poses in Playboy but she's still willing to risk her pretty face white water rafting in Costa Rica.

Nicki and Beyonce were clearly feeling themselves as they performed "Feeling Myself" together for the first time ever at TIDAL X 1020.

While they performed, Zombie smoked one in a Barclays Center bathroom.

Does anyone see a resemblance between Daz here and the LiveLoveA$AP cover?

Meek brought out Ferg at Powerhouse for a rousing rendition of his "WORK" remix. Coogi down to the socks like I'm Biggie poppa...

Big Sean came a couple acts after Meek at Powerhouse, awing fans with his Christ the Redeemer backdrop.

Future came after Big Sean... and then posted a pic of him in Abel possibly in the studio??
