Top 10 Hip-Hop Beards

[Peter Appleton]

10. ?uestlove



He looks like a real hippy-style hip-hop head with the scruffy, patchy beard. Forget hippy-style, ?uesto's beard makes him truly underground; I heard it used to sweep the pavement back in the day. Bob Marley would be so proud.

9. K-Os



His beard is like the black version of Aesop's. It's got that patchy look, like he can't grow a full-blown beard. But his style isn't hippy, it's more Caribbean/island that you'd see in Barbados or something.

8. Kaine (of Ying Yang Twins)



His label wondering why the last Ying Yang album only sold 20 copies? Well, just take another look at that beardically imbalanced album cover

7. W.C



Be careful when you talk down on W.C.'s braided beard, I heard his is so gangsta it holds the AK when he's c-walking

6. Tech N9ne



Tech N9ne comes as a package deal. You get a crazy haircut with a crazy beard. You can't have one without the other. That's how they do it in Kansas City.

5. David Banner



I dig Banner's Mississippian grizzly look. The beard goes perfectly with his infamous snarl.

4. Dj Drama



James: "DJ Drama's fake shoe polish beard should get a mention"

3. Dj Kay Slay



Kay Slay is the first DJ I've seen with a full beard that was kept trimmed and clean. Too bad that doesn't translate to any turntable skills.

2. Freeway



Man, Freeway's beard matches his crazy intensity on the mic. It's a straight up, 'I don't give an eff', straight from the streets of Philly type of beard.

1. Rick Ross



Rick Ross' beard is trimmed and lined up sooo perfectly, I'm suprised that it doesn't have it's own fade. Still makes him look like a grandpa though.

I have re-jigged this a bit

Freeway's beard at its peak >>>>>>>>>> Rawce's.

[Peter Appleton]

As a beard grower myself, I have a certain amount of envy towards the Bauce's beard because it is hard to keep it so perfectly trimmed at even lengths and lined up so nicely. So from a bearded person's perspective, freeway's is pretty good but bauce's is untouchable.

[Dütch]

I agree Ross keeps his immaculately trimmed and shaped, but I more appreciate the unruly freedom that Free allows his beard to have over his face. Its like a separate entity.



Look at that shit. Where will it go next? Nobody knows.

Well from that pic, the beard just demands respect tbf
