Hip-hop is one of the few genres where how you dress is almost as important as how you rap. Of course, the quality of your music will always be at the top of the list, but some fans value how you wear clothes more than how good your 16 was.

With some of the MCs showing out at this year’s Met Gala, we only thought it would be fitting that we highlight some of the flyest artists in rap.

I don’t think people give Kendrick his props as a stylish artist since he takes such long breaks from the public eye. But, when he pops out, he always puts that shit on. His Martine Rose fit was my favorite look from the 2023 Grammys.
