40 Rapper Stars And Their Performance Cars

Wed, Apr 15, 2009

“The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man” ~ Marshall McLuhan

Listen to the radio, preferably a station which broadcasts RnB, Hippedy-Hop-Hop or standard Pop, and I can guarantee that you will hear a brand name mentioned in the lyrics within 5 minutes. It’s become a well known fact that singers are some of the best marketers around, capable of bringing even the most bizarre of products into the limelight and onto the tips of teenagers’ tongues across the globe.

Rappers are no different and the “best in the business” have lavish sponsorship deals and manage to rival earnings to those of A-list fame. How rappers and mere celebrités do differ however is in the way they spend their bucks, and on the wheels they purchase and cruise in on a daily basis. Car Throttle -- your performance car experts -- are here to show you the world’s Top 50 Rapper Stars and Their Cars.

Evidently we were not able to show every single car owned by every single star in the list, as this would probably take up a few hundred pages, but if you think we missed any major spectacles off the list, please let us know in the comments below!

well NIVI, I’m sure Luda is a special dude, but that still doesn’t mean he can acquire a car that never really existed past the prototype stage. Something about a major corporation being unwilling to sell a non roadgoing prototype worth billions to a rap star.

@NIVI.

Hey NIVI, I’m with James on this one. Do your research before u comment. That Chrysler never went past the prototype stage, so there is no way Luda would own that car. Maybe u don’t know what a prototype is and how cars eventually go into production. I’ll bet u even the top boss of Chrysler doesn’t own that Chrysler.

Missy Elliott does not own any Lamborghini. She just rents those when mtv is around or when she makes a public appearance.
