Young Jeezy, Drake, and Lil Wayne
Take a Lyrical Spin in Their Rides
Most hip-hop stars can’t live without a mic, a radio, and (let’s not
forget) a super expensive car. In this edition of rides, we take a look
at a few hip-hop stars and reveal the stories behind their cars. –amir shaw
After making headlines in 2008 for crashing his white Lamborghini Murcielago, Young Jeezy
made a dazzling return to the sports car game by purchasing a rare
Lamborghini LP640. The LP640 has a base price of $313,000 and reaches a
top speed of 211 mph.
Lyric: “My President is black, my Lambo is blue and I’ll be … if the rims ain’t too.”
–“My President is Black”
Drake
recently admitted that he leased his 2009 Rolls Royce Phantom because
he simply didn’t have enough money to buy one. But you have to
appreciate the hip-hop prodigy’s honesty. He even talked about the
lease on his latest mixtape, So Far Gone.
Lyric: “My reality just set in, and even when the Phantom’s leased, them [girls] wanna get in.”
–“Successful”
Days after Lil Wayne
received eight Grammy nominations, Bryan “Birdman” Williams (the CEO of
Cash Money Records and Lil Wayne’s ‘daddy’) bought the hip-hop star a
2009 Aston Martin. The Aston Martin has a base price of $119,000 and
reaches a top speed of 180 mph.
Lyric: “Because them [girls] go bonkers when they see me in tha Aston Martin.”
