The Unauthorized History Of Puppets In Hip Hop

kanye-puppet-lead.jpg
Whatchya wanna do? Wanna be a ballers? shotcallers? Brawlers? Well let Complex be the spoiler. The reality of hip hop is a sad one filled with guys who get their strings pulled, like Jimi Hendrix (no Pat Smear, my dear). And occasionally you can actually see their strings. Take for instance the awesomely creative new clip from Complex stalwart contributor Kanye West, which finds a styrofoam ‘Ye sucking wind in the Olympics (no Louganis) like a “Champion”. We keed, we keed.

But Kanye isn’t the first hip hopper to use a strung-up effigy of himself in a video. So for your viewing pleasure, and general edification, we’ve combed through the annals (grow up!) of hip hop to find the 5 greatest moments of puppetry in rap history. Go to school and peep Kanye’s latest below…

Kanye, Lupe & Pharrell’s Supergroup Gets A T-Shirt

crs-t-shirt.jpg
The first (of probably many) CRS inspired t-shirts seems to have hit e-Bay, and it has the Hip-Hop super group members meticulously detailed and ready for war.

Pharrell, Lupe and Kanye seem to be draped in BAPE, and even Kanye’s strapping Ato Matsumoto boots make an appearance. The tight-jean trio toting big guns left us a bit confused, being that there’s not three MC’s in the game who put less work in the street—but who wants to get dirty when you’re rocking $300 jeans? Not us. If you’re feeling it (close up shot after the jump), get in an intense bidding war with fellow hipsters, here.
