28 Grams: Hip Hop Instagram Recap (Oct 24-30)

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. Plies explained the ugly friend's responsibilities, Chris Brown & Tinashe got down and dirty, and Gucci Mane apparently lost a ton of weight.

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