Hell Naw! Check Out the Worst Struggle Weaves Ever

Weaves can look fantastic if they're attached by somebody who knows what the hell they're doing, but all too often we see ladies out there looking like they attached the hair themselves while standing in a dark closet with one hand tied behind their backs. In other cases, the weave is just so outrageous and over-the-top that you gotta wonder what the owner was thinking.

As testament to all the hideous weaves out there, we've gathered a few that really stand out for their advanced level of struggle.

Check 'em out up top.

Nas to Release 20th Anniversary Album 'Illmatic XX'

Sony Legacy

Nas’ 1994 debut album, ‘Illmatic,’ is undoubtedly one of the most important rap albums in hip-hop history. To commemorate the LP’s two-decade anniversary, Sony Legacy will release a 20th anniversary edition entitled ‘Illmatic XX’ on April 15.

The double-CD collection will feature 10 tracks from the original album and 10 additional songs of unreleased demos, remixes and freestyles.

In addition to the 20th anniversary effort, Nas will embark on a U.S. tour performing the seminal album in its entirety. The trek will begin with a special performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., on March 28 and 29. Then the Queens, N.Y., MC will perform ‘Illmatic’ at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in April.

The ‘Illmatic XX’ is available now for pre-order on iTunes and both the 2CD set and 1 LP vinyl are ready to order via Amazon.com.

“With Illmatic, I didn’t think about it. I just did it,” said Nas. “I believe everybody has good instincts. Now I’m a man from that past and I’m supremely grateful. There’s a Nigerian proverb ‘What is past is prologue.’ I’m here today because of ‘Illmatic.’

Exclusive! Biggie Talks Jack The Rapper Convention (Throwback)

In this throwback clip from Rugged Entertainment's Peter Spirer, Biggie recalls his experiences at the Jack The Rapper Music Convention, and says his primary motivation to attend was to meet women. However, the chance to listen to all kinds of new unreleased hip hop was a big plus as well.

"When I first went to Jack The Rapper it was just a place where we could see a whole bunch of b*tches and sh*t," the Brooklyn rapper admitted before adding, "You get to hear a lot of music before it come out...n**gas just trying to pump their sh*t, it's cool."

Biggie feels the convention can be a great opportunity for up-and-comers to get their music heard as long as they go about it the right way and don't come at the established artists too aggressively.

Chris Brown Bailed on Rehab to Attend Super Bowl Bash? (Pics) (@chrisbrown)

Chris Brown may be in serious trouble after pics surfaced of the singer allegedly hanging out at a Super Bowl party thrown by good friend Trey Songz. Breezy has only left his court-ordered rehab once before back in December after receiving permission to attend an Xmas Toy Drive with boo Karrueche Tran.

MStarz reports there's a 15-second Instagram video showing Brown partying with Trey Songz. The video shows Trey and his buddies partying in L.A. for the Super Bowl and Brown can be seen.

The Virginia-born singer's rehab stint isn't over until February 19, so it's not apparant as to why he would be at a Super Bowl party and away from the rehab campus.

Whle the video and most of the pics have since been deleted, you can see a couple up top.
