Hip Hop culture has spread worldwide gathering millions of fans from nearly every inch of the globe. This ever-growing love for artform goes far beyond music, it's considered a lifestyle. The way you walk, talk, dance, and your style of dress all contribute to how involved you are in the movement.

A lot has changed in the year 2014, not every hip-hop artist represents the stereotypical "rapper look." Artists such as Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi, Young Thug, and more have been given a lot of slack for their appearance -- but these are the guys pushing hip-hop fashion forward. In the end, we can’t expect the culture to remain at a stand still.

Here are 5 rap artists that break the mold

1. Childish Gambino Earlier this year. Childish Gambino visited The Breakfast Club and was slandered by people all over social media for his outfit of the day. We still love him and his clothes, though.

2. Kid Cudi Hip Hop or Not? Rapper Kid Cudi was adamant about wearing a crop-top to Coachella this year. Do your thing, bro.

3. A$AP ROCKY Not only is A$AP Rocky known for his lyrics, but he may even more popular for his sense of high fashion.

4. Macklemore The thrift shop sensation is a fan of vintage hand me-downs. As long as he can come up off of his 20 dollar shopping budget, that’s all that matters!

5. Young Thug Young Thug is continuously questioned about his painted fingernails as well as the infamous leopard dress that surfaced all over the internet months ago. His music seems to be making a great impression in hip-hop, but his wardrobe is always up for debate.
