8 Times Rappers Got Hairstyles Everyone Hated

Yung Joc set the internet ablaze when he debuted his new hair on Thursday (Aug. 25). Before social media knew that the dated hairstyle is for a movie the rapper is currently filming called The Products of the American Ghetto, set in the 1960s, the slander went full force. Yung Joc began being called everyone from one of The Five Heartbeats to the male version of Dej Loaf, and there were too many memes to count.

Things got so bad that Joc had to explain the situation on Instagram. “Let me tell y’all somethin’,” said Yung Joc. “See it’s cool to be a follower, I guess. All y’all wanna look alike. But what if I just chose to do something different cause I knew your motherfuckin’ ass was gonna talk about it? So I won. But then hold up, what if I wasn’t even doing it for that? What if I’m playing a movie role? Ultra smooth, cool ass cat that’s just fly. I can’t do that? I got the part in it. That shit look good. Real player shit, man. If I was a white boy it’d be cool. What would y’all do? Or what was y’all doing? It don’t even matter. I love ya anyway. Keep talking about me. And I still will take your bitch.”

Although Joc did come forth and clear the air, days later the memes have not ceased. It got us thinking about all the other instances when other rappers suffered similar fates, check it out in the gallery above.
