If Busta Rhymes looked a little funny sitting in a barber chair recently in New York, it was for good reason – he’s not used to getting a full-blown haircut. Obviously Busta has gotten his hairline edged up over the past 16 years, but since coming into the music industry, his long dreads have been as much a part of his persona as have his growls, colorful outfits and unorthodox flow. Busta has chosen to shed his locks, and actually cut most of his hair off.
“I started growing these in December ’89. I was 17. I signed my deal and said I ain’t combing my hair no more. I don’t have to,” he said. Busta isn’t totally bald, though – he’s rocking a dark Caesar hairstyle. You’ll get to see Busta and his new ‘do in his video for “Touch It” in just a couple of weeks. “My head isn’t ugly, is it?” he asked with a smile after his cut.
