Last night the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. That's over twice the age of the entire history of hip-hop. That's so old, the inventer of the turntable was still alive.

That in mind, it's incredible to see all of hip-hop react at the same time to such a historic moment. Here's some of our favorites.

CHICAGO FREE DAT MAN.. #BARTMAN!!! Come on home!!! Congrats to da Cubs!!!!!!!
