Why did 2pac go bald so young? He had hair in Juice (1992)

[Eastside Get The Money]

You can tell on here who's either not Black or wasn't old enough in the 90's.

• Michael Jordan (the OG baldie for the 90s and did it because he was balding lol)
• Charles Barkley
• Fab Five (they mimicked the rappers and had all the hoopers and kids doing it)
• 2Pac (the bald head was one of signatures when he went Thug Life)
• Onyx (people don't realize how influential they were to bald heads becoming the "it thing"
• R. Kelly (did imo to look more like Aaron Hall and be "bold)
• Tyson Beckford (rocked a baldie just to be different and it worked big to make him one of the first Black male supermodels with Ralph Lauren)
• LL Cool J (Flavor In Ya Ear Remix was the first time many people saw him without a hat)

Heck y'all don't even remember this scene from Clueless that showed how much it became a fashion statement to all the "rebel" kids


Or this video where Cube and Dre both shaved their heads to be shocking

All that needs to be said you can tell who is super young or wasn’t outside.

The same way we’re gonna look at how a lot of men have locs now that was the bald head in the 90s.

My dad even cut a perfect Afro for a baldie cause of Michael

It is a lot of nikkaz in this world. Who better invest in some urban intellectualism and their blackness. This thread is proof alot of y'all lost.

There is the wrong way.
In how you think it is done.
Then there is how it is really done.

I remember being in the second grade during basketball season I asked my dad could he shave my head bald. I wanted to be like mj…..













my dad told me “no”

 

[viktordoomsecretwars]

I've seen people go bald in their teens before. Genetics are far more complicated than unsubstantiated tropes

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Got a N***a losing hair and their wondering if im all there - Pac

I would not doubt that lifestyle was getting to him.

He did say that, but Pac said alot of things that weren't directly about him. BUT, this is the best argument from those that believe he was going bald.

 

[28 Gramz]

My hair started to thin at 29 and I shaved all my shyt off, got a good response from hoes so i had to embrace it

 

[Art Barr]

Pac stans are sick in the head. How can you not see the man was balding when he had this hairline a few years before his first arrest?

His right temples were already on their way out even here

this comment on pac hair line all cap and i ain't in no way no pac fan whatsoeva.

this comment dead cap tho.

pac hairline was perfectly fine on this picture and this is before mean joe green in college pic level lineups existed as commonplace.

Man stop, wasn’t nobody rocking a baldie just because Jordan was

Jordan was rocking a baldie because he was going bald

Same with Pac

nikkaz was rocking baldies because it was the style...

Maybe for some it was Jordan, or others it was pac.
But it just was a hairstyle that even katts that could grow here would rock.
It gave some people a tougher look

 

[mag357]

Yes fam... And it's fukking me up.

I had thick curly hair for the longest g... My boys used to crack jokes about how I'm rocking Jerry curls.

Within the space of 2 years my hair is mad thin now and I'm having to rock caps every day..

I'm still trynna get over it now... There's only a handful of man's that look good bald... Pac is one of them.

Dmx is the other... There ain't too many man's that look good bald man

This ain't true ..
That's just the shyt you tell me yourself when u start going bald.

Once you cut that shyt off and you find the right beard/mustache combo for yourself...
It looks good on anybody.

It's just a even clean look... Can't look bad

He had alopecia

He had alopecia

Yep. That’s what I heard. Michael Eric Dyson mentioned this in his 2pac book several years ago.
