One day, maybe 10 years from now, you're going to look back on all your Instagram photos and think, "Was I really wearing that?" Or "Gosh, I was so thin!" (Maybe then you'll think, "Maybe I shouldn't have eaten all that delicious food I used to take pictures of and put on Instagram.") The same is true for famous rappers. Except Pharrell, who has apparently discovered the Fountain of Youth that Ponce De Leon spent so many years searching for.  

Since famous rappers are famous, they've been getting their pictures taken for years. So we don't have to wait another 10 years—in some cases we've already waited 10 years. If your favorite rappers have enjoyed long, bountiful careers, you can easily find old and new photos of them. And when you do, you start to notice some differences. When someone is famous for an extended period of time, they grow up and grow old before your eyes. And just like pictures of yourself, you can point and say, "I can't believe he wore that." Like Nas said (sort of) a thug changes, love changes, and those old pictures start looking stranger. So check out What Your Favorite Rappers Used To Look Like...
