Art is about self expression. And hip-hop artists are no stranger to expressing themselves using all mediums available. Whether it’s through music, dance or visual arts, rappers are professionals at making a statement when they walk into a room. And what better canvas to use than your own head?
It’s incredible what rappers can think of doing to their hair. Some want their ‘dos to be as expressive and colorful as their music. Some want to stand out from a crowd of music’s new faces. While others just don’t seem to care what’s happening up there. Either way, they set themselves apart and set trends every time they debut a new look.
These eight rappers have had a particularly memorable track record of using their hair to stand out and show off their signature style. It’s all been shaved, fried, dyed and braided to the side. And it’s obvious that these MC’s have no problem chopping it up on the mic or in the hair salon.
Below are some of rap’s craziest hair transformation over the years.
