Soulja Boy dyed his hair blonde last night and posted his pictures on facebook and twitter. Hair dying is becoming a trend in the rap community. Don't know where it started but it is being accepted and embraced. Not everybody looks good with their hair dyed though. Chris Brown dyed his hair blonde then Tyga of Young Money most recently.

Rapper Rick Ross aka The Boss has joined all the other rappers that have gotten face tattoos. Something they will have to live with for the rest of there lives. Rick Ross recently got the popular sunglasses maker Cazal logo under his left eye right under his Maybach logo on the corner of his eye. I can understand tattoos but rappers will not be rappers forever and getting a tattoo on your face is a bad choice. Hope the company is paying him for the free promotion that the tattoo will bring. Rappers The Game, Yung LA, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne and many others better make sure they never go broke!

50 Cent striked at worldstaragency.com this morning by causing it to forward to his Vblog site BooBootv.com Q of World Star and 50 have been beefing since he sued Q for using his image on the site Worldstarhiphop.com for over a year. Recently 50 Cent attacked Q and embarrased him by phone about the pending lawsuit against him then it was leaked to the internet and went viral. Lets see what happens next! I wish World Star Agency the best.

Rapper Eve got a new tattoo and she is looking beautiful as ever. Remember her Paw Print tattoo...Not as great as the paws but with a face and body like Eve who cares how well a tattoo looks. lol.

I can't understand why Gucci Mane left a mental facility and got this Ice Cream tattoo on his face. Gucci is not crazy for a second and is a smart man. Maybe he is bored with life. His tattoo is matches with his current iced out chain. According to reports Gucci was sober and in his right mind when he received the tattoo and the tattoo artist says that he kinda regrets doing the tattoo on him but says Gucci Mane insisted. The tattoo this Brrr on it and has two flames on it. Hope Gucci doesn't fall off and have to get a job because nobody will hire somebody looking like this....Besides a tattoo shop!!

Nipsey goes the Lil Wayne route and gets a tattoos on his face...OUCH! well as he said in the video you only live once. Nipsey is gaining popularity fast and is on his way to becoming bigger than life..

“It started with L.A. making the investment and commitment in bringing out three A&R’s to the West Coast. We’ve been out here searching for the cream of the crop,” said Gousse, who is best known for developing B2K. “I didn’t sign Y.G. because of his connection to the jerkin' movement. I signed him because he has a command of the crowd that reminded me of the classic MCs. You don’t see many young rappers with that kind of command, especially from someone who has never signed a record deal.” For the intricately tattooed teenager, the signing represents both a form of salvation and the culmination of a long courting process. “I decided to sign with Def Jam because that was the label that I’d been hearing about for my entire life. It’s a 100% blessing,” said Y.G., who has already achieved that first pro forma major label achievement — a track featuring Lil Wayne (“Heard Em All” remix). “It’s a crazy feeling. My little brother had a few of his friends from their jerkin' crew over the other night, and I was just playing around with them. Knowing that they looked up to me like that was an incredible feeling.” Like many of the artists within the jerkin’ constellation, Y.G.’s music revolves around the day-to-day travails of the average teenager. Indeed, he attributes his heavy popularity to his relatability. “My music is about my everyday life," he said. "That’s why I think so many young people like it — they can relate. It’s what they and their friends are going through every day — shopping, looking for girls, getting in and out of trouble.” According to Gousse, a video is in the works for lead single, “Toot it and Boot It,” with Y.G.’s full-length debut tentatively slated for release some time in the first half of 2010.
