Hip-Hop Reacts to Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary

This Sunday, Saturday Night Live celebrated 40 years on air. To culminate four decades of late night laughs, NBC put on a three-hour, star-studded super episode featuring both cast members past and present and brand new live performances. While most of the hip-hop community was focused on the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, these rappers took time to take notice of the comedic history.

Some rappers were in attendance for the live show.
