The best hip hop beefs of 2009

2009 was a year full of great hip hop music. But it was also a year full of great hip hop beefs. From Jay-Z and Nas to 50 Cent and Rick Ross, here are the best hip hop beefs of 2009.

The best hip hop fashion of 2009

2009 was a great year for hip hop music, and it was also a great year for hip hop fashion. Some of the biggest trends in fashion were started by hip hop artists, and many of those trends are still going strong today. Here are some of the best hip hop fashion moments of 2009.

One of the biggest trends in 2009 was oversized clothing. This look was popularized by rappers like Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy, and it quickly caught on with the mainstream public. Oversized t-shirts, hoodies, and jackets were all the rage, and they are still popular today. If you want to rock the oversized look, make sure you go for quality items that will last – cheap knock-offs just won’t cut it.

Another big trend in 2009 was baubles and bling. Major-label rappers were known for their love of expensive jewelry, and they weren’t afraid to show it off. If you want to rock this look, make sure you have the finances to back it up – there’s nothing worse than looking like a wannabe when you can’t even afford the real thing.

The final trend we’ll mention is the comeback of vintage clothing. Rappers like Jay-Z and Nas have been rocking vintage looks for years, but it wasn’t until 2009 that the mainstream public really caught on. If you want to rock a vintage look, make sure you do your research – there’s nothing worse than looking like a poser in an old t-shirt or pair of jeans.
