A while back, we dropped A History of the 50 Greatest Animated GIFs of All Time—a feature that explored and explained the history of one of the Internet's most endlessly entertaining features. But since that post focused on GIFs from all across the Internet, it didn't cover a niche area we can't seem to get enough of: Hip-Hop GIFs! Since most GIFs don't provide any info, context, or set-up, they require the user to be familiar with the situation as they laugh at the punchline to a joke they already know. In other words, they're custom-made for the hip-hop nation. That's why Complex is proud to present Hip-Hop's Greatest Animated GIFs of All Time.
