Twitter might be one of the best inventions of recent time. Who doesn’t love the ability to connect with their favorite artists and express how they feel about them-whether it’s good, or bad. Twitter often has some crazy trending topics whether it’s the brain child of comedian, Lil Duval (@lilduval) [#youknowyourgirlislosingwhen] or maybe the love of some die hard fans who wake up everyday just to tell pop sensation, Justin Bieber (@justinbieber), how they really feel [#iwannamarryjustinbieber].
The recent trending topic that caught our eye here at GG, #ifhiphopwashighschool got us thinking, what if hip hop really was high school? There are definitely some interesting characters in the hip hop community, making it an interesting battle as to who would win each superlative. The school which would undoubtedly be located in Brooklyn, NY would be filled wall-to-wall with enough hip hop swag to last a lifetime.
#ifhiphopwashighschool ‘The Teacher’s Pet’ would be: Drake
It seems like he can’t do anything wrong. Since he came on the scene, everything he’s touched has turned to gold, he’s a successful rapper and singer. A student equivalent to Drake’s role in the hip hop world would be any teacher’s dream. Who wouldn’t love a student who seemed to get everything right?

#ifhiphopwashighschool ‘The Principal’ would be: Russell Simmons
There are few people in the hip hop industry who are more respected than ‘The CEO of Hip Hop.’ There’s no better candidate to run a school full of future hip hop artists than the man who is responsible for making the industry what it has become today.

#ifhiphopwashighschool ‘Most Likely To Succeed’ would be: Jay-Z
As a kid from the projects of Bed Stuy, Brooklyn he has made it in every sense of the word. He could be the spokesperson for success, proving his hustle since he stepped foot in the game.

#ifhiphopwashighschool ‘The Class Clown’ would be: Fabolous
Ever since Fabolous began showcasing his personality via Twitter, there is no doubt this Brooklyn-born rapper would have the whole school gathering around him just to listen to his sarcastic humor. His famous chipped tooth ads to the comedic persona, making his role as the class clown that much more believable.

#ifhiphopwashighschool ‘The Best Dressed’ would be: Andre 3000
Not too many men can rock the outfits that this outcast pulls off. From suspenders and 1950’s era glasses, to perfectly shined Oxfords, there is a reason Vogue Magazine has featured this rapper in their highly respected publication.
