Mixtape Monday: Facial Hair Edition

I have a newfound respect for the time and effort it takes to grow and properly trim a beard. For the first time since I hit puberty this is the longest I have gone without shaving. And it sucks. It's itchy and patchy and doesn't really grow on my face too much. I do have a sweet neard though. So to all the mountain men out there, this one's for you.

Side A

1. Hustlin' - Rick Ross. His beard is seriously outstanding, too bad his new album isn't.
2. Sunshine - Mos Def
3. Woo-Hah (remix) - Bustah Rhymes ft Ol' Dirty Bastard. 2 Beards 1 video
4. Strange Fruit - Pete Rock ft Cappadonna
5. Bop Gun (One Nation) - Ice Cube ft George Clinton
6. C.R.E.A.M- Wu Tang Clan. As seen here, they all are bearded.
7. Shadows of Tomorrow - MF Doom Ft Lord Quas
8. Drop da Top - Trick Daddy. Not only is he ugly as fuck but he has probably one of the worst beards besides Del.
9. Can't Stop This- The Roots Game Theory is sooo sick go out and buy it if you don't already own it.
10. Chemical Calisthentics - Blackalicous

-Pickle

Side B:


1. 6 'N The Mornin' - Ice T. You can tell that Ice-T works extra hard on his facial-hair grooming....I bet he uses a ruler to get proper angles.
2. Stand Up - Ludacris. Luda's always got some sort of 'stache or beard or sideburns or something.
3. Rep Yo' Click- Freeway ft. Lil Jon. Freeway has maybe the best beard in hip-hop.... A power-beard, if you will.
4. Mr. Big Stuff - Heavy D and the Boyz. Fat rappers and facial hair? Good combo.
5. Stop Snitchin' - Ice Cube. Produced by Swizz Beatz, so it's a double-beard track.
6. The Corner - Common. Due to the fact that Common is a vegetarian and a total wuss, he is required by law to keep at least a few day's worth of stubble at all times, or his testicles will fall off. I think that's how it works.
*** Okay. I'm going to take a quick moment and mention a certain beef between Ice Cube (beard) and Common (beard) that had to be solved by sitting down and chatting with Louis Farrakhan (no beard, big bowtie). Could the beef have something to do with facial hair? Let's look at the facts: beard = testosterone, testosterone = fights. Coincidence? Probably.***
7. Quicksand Millenium - The Roots. Black Thought and ?uestlove made a facial-hair pact back in the day. Their scruffiness and ruggedness help the whole group get more tail.
8. Daytona 500 - Ghostface Killah. See?
9. Let's Go - Pharoahe Monch. Pharoahe wouldn't sound nearly as agressive if he didn't have a beard. One time he shaved, and he sounded like Nick Carter until he grew his beard back.
10. Going Back To Cali - LL Cool J. Produced by the ultimate beardo, Rick Rubin.

p.s. I have never had a beard before, but let me tell you: I think about them all day long. I can sit here and pretend that I don't think beards are damn smooth, but let's face the facts... They make me feel kinda funny.
