i know the 80' were full of styles that people now shudder at and would like 2 4get, but what group back then had the best lookin curls? i know when i used 2 see "full force" i wanted the "box fade/ponytail" one paul anthony had or the "swoop over one eye/tags on the side" one that "troop's rodney benson mad famous

All those guys looked wonderful compared to these Mississippi blues singers. They had curls that were absolutely stringy with juice just running down there face. Some of them still have them.

This is the 1st. guy I think of whenever I hear the word jerri curl.

In high school we used to call it a "Ready for the World Curl".

vainandy said:

reminds me of the song "Boys" by the Mary Jane Girls,when they're at a nightclub checking out the guys...


"Check out that guy with the jeri curl"

"You mean the SCARY CURL...look at that stuff dripping all over his shirt"


ouch!

The absolute Jheri-curl champions were, in no particular order:

Midnight Star

Full Force ( especially Paul Anthony )

Ready For The World

....and of course Icecube ( his best jhericurl was on the cover of that early NWA LP NWA and the Boyz or whatever it was called, came out before Straight Outta Compton....some of you probably remember that one, they were all standing in some backyard drinking Olde English...Cube was wearing a babyblue Adidas sweater.)


....and my homey Kader who kinda faked his way through by using tons of wax and gel...he was also a huge Full Force fan.

And don´t forget Force MDs

what about....

kurtis blow (i know ya'll remember the "krush groove" era....)

kangol kid (u.t.f.o.)

dj quik

lionel richie (he even turned his into a mini ponytail in the "dancing on the celing")

OMG, and then the blind woman in the Hello video did a clay bust of Lionel, Jheri curl and all! A Jheri curl...crafted from red clay!

Let's not forget Minnesota's own Jimmy Jam. In "The Walk" video, he was sporting that triangle piece that went to the bridge of his nose. Ola Ray and Michael Jackson were King and Queen of the curl. I know what you mean about those blues singers VainAndy. Buddy Guy used to have a thick, juicy jheri curl up until a few years ago. Now he's Billiard Ball Bald!

oh my god, my parents went to see Bobby Womack and some other juke joint singers last Saturday. Well...Marvin Sease was there. I almost died when my mama told me he still had a long jerri curl.

I hate "Candy Licker" btw

Jamie Foxx

diamondpearl1 said:

"it's texturized!"

What about Ice Cube c.1987 and Easy E???

But it has to be Rick James on a red album cover (I forget the album) its red and theres like steam coming out and RJ with the grease dripping off those jhericurl/kiss curl hair style (might be about 83/85.

And the line in the 50cent movie "u ugly Rick James looking muthafucka"
