Once every 365 days, the world sentimentally joins forces to honor and celebrate the men who indefatigably change the world every day. But this day isn’t for the police department or firemen; it’s not even for the soldiers – it’s for the men responsible for creating, grooming and raising them. Today we pay tribute to the father’s of the world.

Coming together for the annual third-Sunday-in-June celebration, XXL is here to wish all the men in hip-hop a happy Father’s Day. To see just how great these guys are, we’re here to give you 31 of the best father photos hip-hop has to offer. Now that’s something to celebrate. —Amber McKynzie
