Kanye and his hair* perform at the MTV Youth Ball
Posted by Miss Info under concerts , for fashion-hounds and obsessive consumers , good for hip hop , good for me , videos[60] Comments
thanks to Perajok for the link
*oh no he didnt….yes he did…ask for this ‘do
UPDATE:
Thank you to King for suggesting this inspiration:
And on Twitter, Expernz added this…
Alfonso Ribero! GOAT 80′s child star!
UPDATE UPDATE:
Ok, you guys are on a roll here…I’m compiling all your suggestions after the jump….
Bigga said Stoney Jackson…but I think the curl is too wet
EJ says Joe Dirt….but the texture is all wrong.
Twitter pal PHZSicks gets a gold star for Lamar Latrelle from Revenge of the Nerds:
Culture of Me on twitter suggested Dwayne Wayne from Different World…but isnt it too conservative on the sides? The Kanye Mullet is all about the water-landing-ramp at the bottom, soft and warm at the top and the sides.
Watch someone do this hairstyle one next….
Thanks to reader Chadillac for refreshing my mind grapes (c) Tracy Jordan.

truth is.. that hairstyle is literally straight up Whack!

Why do these persons try to take styles from the cornballs back in the day?????
Why don’t they try to go for more of the Juice crew, BDP, Kid n Play type of looks. What the fuck with theo huxtable, alfonso ribero, and the ready for the world type shit? If he’s going for afrika bambaata, oh well….thats really old school, but niggas wasnt really tryin to look like afrika bambaata and the soul sonic force!!!! THOSE NIGGAS DID LOOK WEIRD…
AND ALL THEM KIDS THAT TRYIN TO DRESS OLD SCHOOL STOP TRYIN TO LOOK LIKE THE FRESH PRINCE OF BELL AIR….HE WAS CORNY TOO…THE SHOW WAS MADDDD FUNNY, BUT NIGGAS WAS NOT TRYIN TO LOOK LIKE HIM!!!!

I love the ‘BULLET’ moniker!!!…I wasn’t clever enough to come up w/ that one…so good job M*…the 2nd best part of this whole thing was Tony Williams on the background vocals looking like Larry Blackmon from Cameo…watch the clip again and get an additional chuckle from it…Classic!
