Halloween costume ideas for the money-saving rap fan in 2014

6 Super Last-Minute Halloween Costumes For The Penny-Pinching Rap Fan

It's Oct. 30 which means 95% of procrastinators nationwide are still trying to decide what outfit to throw on for Halloween (FYI, it's tomorrow). If you're a hip-hop junkie and trying not to ball out on a one-day ensemble, here are six costume ideas you could pull from your closet right now.

YOUNG THUG
It's no secret that Rich Gang's master linguist wears girls' dresses. (His words, not mine.) Which leaves any Thugga-in-disguise plenty of options. Pair a black crop top with a pleather skirt, knee-high socks and Timberland boots, and voilà! If you have a leopard dress, even better! No Birdman contract necessary.

KANYE WEST Who said you even had to dress up? If crew neck sweaters, tattered jeans and Timbs is your daily #OOTD, then just roll into class or the office on Oct. 31, spitting fire Yeezus bars and say you're Mr. West. Honestly, if the ladies of What Would Yeezus Wear can do it, you can, too.

DEJ LOAF The key to being Detroit newcomer, DeJ Loaf, is having a zero-fucks-given attitude. You should have a closet full of black attire and the occasional all-white when you're feeling godly. My personal advice: Leave the glock out of this and don't sing "Fuck around and Ima catch a body" loudly in the streets. For added effect, a six-pack (abs, not beer), fur coat, bucket hat and heart-shaped glasses make the cypher complete.

BOBBY SHMURDA This has to be the most basic (read: simplest) Halloween costume of all time. Everyone in Brooklyn and beyond has a pair of blue jeans (or sweatpants), a white tee and a snapback. Only preparation needed is perfecting that Shmoney dance.

DRAKE Whether you're The Boy (or The Girl) in your city, it's easy to be Drake. Leave the Dada in the dust and pull out a royal blue tracksuit. Pledge allegiance to the Kentucky Wildcats, Toronto Raptors or Johnny Manziel, and you're set.
