The weirder clothes get, the more comfortable rappers are becoming with going a step further with their entire presentation and look. When the conspicuously absent-of-late Frank Ocean randomly debuted his new blue hairstyle it was just yet another in a long line of rap and R&B stars who are hitting the dye bottle to take their steez to the next level. Whether going blue, blonde, or something even further, your favorite stars are showing punk-esque signs of style expression. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's a facepalm-worthy fail. Take a look and judge for yourself in this Brief History of Rappers Dying Their Hair.

Frank Ocean
Does this mean the game's favorite singer is about to change the color channel on us when he finally returns?
Game
Cross-promotion for The R.E.D. Album and reppin' his set: two birds with one fail.
Tyga
Dude's whole swag revolves around Egyptian pharaoh motifs, so a random fail like this isn't surprising.
Soulja Boy
Just, unfathomable, on so many levels.
Pharrell
Skateboard, always whimsical with the steez, went blonde and later Joker-green for a minute before his "Happy" comeback, or as he dubbed it, "hip-hop grunge."
Kid Cudi
First crop tops, now this? Just when you thought CuDi was done riling the game up, his sartorial choices in 2014 proved his empty basin of fucks to give is bottomless.
Vic Mensa
The Chicago spitter actually pulls the blonde look off better than most of his peers.
RiFF RAFF
It seems like Jody switches his 'do up to a new neon color once a month, at least. One day he and his "son" Jody Husky might be feeling "aquaberry," the next week he's moved on to a VERSACE fire red flat-top. Hey, RiFF wouldn't be the national treasure that he is if he wasn't strange as fuck.
Future
The emo-android from Pluto goes appropriately intergalactic with the locks.
Wiz Khalifa
That ill skunk-dye, perfect for when you're gone off the skunk 24/7.
Jaden Smith
No shock that veritable weirdo Jaden Smith would adopt the blonde trend but Fresh Prince 2.0 always has to take it a step too far. See radioactive-skunk-hawk below:
Chris Brown
Forget "these hoes," if the homies told you this was okay then they're the disloyal ones.
Eminem
This one's so obvious that it almost slipped under the radar.
Mac Miller
Mac did this at the top of the year, completely out of the, er, pink. Promo for the still unreleased Pink Slime or is this what happens when you spend time hanging out with RiFF RAFF?
Nick Cannon
To be honest, we're not sure if this is dye or if dude's suffering from follicle leprosy.
