Cars aren't just cars to us. They aren't just a configuration of electronics and metal that get us from Point A to Point B. They might be for others, but not for us. We have a special place for cars in our hearts and minds, so when we see cars being blatantly disregarded or disrespected, it hurts us. We wince in pain and our hearts drop. That's what happened, when we saw these pictures of rappers doing things that should never be done to cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. We understand that it's their money, but c'mon. Show a little respect!

[via Reddit]
Kanye West and Jay-Z
Car: Maybach 57S
2012 Starting Msrp: $376,000
In the most blatant display of disrespect (they called it sophisticated ignorance), Kanye West and Jay-Z took a Maybach to the chop shop. Even when the car was sold for charity, it didn't fetch as much as people expected. Gee, I wonder why.
Chris Brown
Car: Audi R8 Spyder
2013 Starting Msrp: $200,800
Is it really a surprise that Chris Brown is disrespecting something?
Will.i.am
Car: Delorean Custom
2013 Starting Msrp: Reportedly $700,000
In no way have we seen Will.i.am stand on, sit on, or even look at his cars the wrong way. He simply took one of the most memorable rides of the century, reconstructed it and tried to pass it off as a completely new car. That in itself is deserving of one giant slap to the face.
Chief Keef
Car: Bentley Flying Spur
2013 Starting Msrp: $184,200
I don't care who you are, what you do, how much money you have, or how much you love the smell of smoke (cigs or weed). You're ruining your car, by smoking in it.
Waka Flocka Flame
Car: Bentley Flying Spur
2013 Starting Msrp: $184,200
He wanted to make sure everybody knows he doesn't give an F, so he did a video clip on top of his car.
Chris Brown
Car: Lamborghini Gallardo
2013 Starting Msrp: $182,000
Not only is he spitting on the Lamborghini name, he's also wiping his feet all over a military-themed vehicle. Well done.
Soulja Boy
Car: Bentley Continental GT
2013 Starting Msrp: $175,000
This is nearly as disrespectful as he was to Bow Wow in their Lamborghini scuffle.
Meek Mill
Car: Lamborghini Murcielago
2011 Starting Msrp: $354,000
We're surprised he didn't drive an ATV or dirt bike up on top of the thing.
Chief Keef
Car: Ferrari California
2013 Starting Msrp: $201,290
Really, though? What's the point of this?
Tyga
Car: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
2013 Starting Msrp: $470,000
Tyga probably weighs about 146 pounds, so it's not that big of a deal, but still. Why? Why are you putting all of your weight on top of a car that costs almost half a milli?
Rick Ross
Car: Bentley Continental GT
2013 Starting Msrp: $175,000
We imagine this is equivalent to when the boat nearly capsized in Jaws, when the shark jumped up on deck.
Chief Keef
Car: Bentley Flying Spur
2013 Starting Msrp: $184,200
We get that you think you're on the top of the world, but you can kindly get the fuck off the top of the car now.
Chris Brown
Car: Audi R8 GT Spyder
2013 Starting Msrp: $200,800
Considering he's so into cars, you'd think he'd know better or care a little bit about his purchases. Or maybe he's just got more money than he knows what to do with, and cars are an easy outlet.
Waka Flocka Flame
Car: Bentley Flying Spur
2013 Starting Msrp: $184,200
Waka isn't a small dude, so we're sure that window was flexin'' quite a bit. And not the good kind of flexin'.
Chief Keef
Car: Ferrari California
2013 Starting Msrp: $201290
Just because you're got some squeaky clean white sneaks doesn't mean the bottoms are equally as sanitary. Get off the leather.
