Top 10 Rappers Cars: Cruising in Style

Ever since rap and hip-hop music busted onto the scene, most of the popular music icons from the beginning have loved to show off their vehicles. Low riding on the West Coast has been extremely popular for years and most rappers want to show off their pride of the area’s beautiful rides.

Older big body vehicles such as 70’s and 80’s Oldsmobile’s, Chevrolets, and Cadillac’s became popular in the Midwest and the South. Wire wheels became popular in every state as rap artists would tout their cars and trucks with the latest and greatest accessories available.

A large car culture has grown considerably from the 80’s since. The introduction of larger and louder stereo systems led to the growth of competitions among car fans who wanted what they saw in the hottest and latest music videos.

Rappers today love their cars. Many rap idols have an arsenal of chrome and candy vehicles to all out performance luxury cars fitted with the latest accessories. Trucks have become extremely popular, enabling the super stars rides with huge rims and unique designs that make their mark wherever they go.

Here is a quick rundown of the top ten cars owned by rap artists:

1. Many successful rappers in the music industry love to collect rare and highly sought after vehicles that are hard to find. For one example, Jay-Z owns a Maybach 62S. Only 66 Maybachs were sold in the United States in 2009 and the 62s sticker price was a staggering $430,000.
