From sweet family moments to serious fashion slayage, these are the moments we lived for this week.

Check them out so you won’t have major FOMO when you’re friends are discussing these viral moments at brunch this weekend.

 

40 years of hip hop in 4 minutes!!! This is fu*king bananas. pic.twitter.com/OIJXIFH9NQ

Okay. My mouth hasn't closed in 8 minutes. This mix is AMAZING. Instant follow here and on @SoundCloud. https://t.co/Q4WYFybsdb

If there were ever a visual form of SparkNotes for music, this video is it. In “40 Minute of Hip Hop”, social media was given a mash-up of the genre from its disco roots to present day.

We can never get enough of these full-body photos La La Anthony shares. She may be going through a tough time in her personal life, but she doesn’t look like it.

We can actually rest easy knowing Sen. Kamala Harris is involved in hearings of White House corruption, as the legislature is not about the B.S. (proof). This week, Senate intelligence committee Chairman Richard Burr shut down a line of questioning during Wednesday’s high-profile hearing, admonishing her to stop cutting off witnesses. She responded with this serious hair flip.

Despite the drama with her husband, Tiny Harris appears to be living her best life. This photo went viral this week because of the hilarious, and accurate, caption.

So basically, today's a national holiday? https://t.co/711oZa2xGW

— 🌺#HBK🌺 (@YoursTrulyTheDj) June 7, 2017

Believe it or not, UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem (I Chose You)” came out ten years ago on June 6, 2007. Black Twitter wants the classic rap song that features Outkast, to be given a national holiday… and we lowkey agree. 

Stop trying to figure your #wcw out all she really wants is a hug son! #word! #popiando the #wcwwhisperer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 my shorty got sense and logic just sometimes needs to express herself with wordplay that I'm unfamiliar with! 😂😂😂 sometimes these women just need a hug!

A post shared by P O P V A Z Q U E Z (@pop_vazquez) on Jun 6, 2017 at 6:03am PDT

The cutest video to go viral this week had to be from Pop Vazquez, a proud father who regularly shares his kids’ special moments on Instagram. This father doubles as a therapist for his daughter that was very upset about missing her mommy.
