Rappers as coverboys

I know a lot on here don't like hiphop or certain rappers, but I thought with all the threads about the ladies doing pinup pictorials, it would be nice to see some guy candy for a change drool Has anyone noticed the recent trend in the last 10 years or so of rappers with banging bodies getting covers of fitness mags or being part of sexy ads? I like it! lol

The rappers who do this also are the ones who venture outside of music and become entrerpreneurs, thus enlargening their fanbase on a mainstream scale.

The newest coverboy is club music maker Flo Rida:

he of course follows in the footsteps of fitness buff LL Cool J:

Those mags are so stupid.

A new you in 30 days....see results in 10 days....yeah right!

Why can't they just be honest? It's years & years of hard work and diet.

The last pic of 50 looks photoshopped. lol Reminds me of those pics of celebs they put in those hair books. Just looks fake.

I have to agree with robertlove though, the mags are pretty stupid and unrealistic. They have those type of unrealistic headlines on the covers of women exercise magazines too. Waste of money. I always wonder how those type of magazines even make money because the articles are full of shit.

Other than that, thanks for the guy candy.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

This looks photoshopped too. The torso doesn't seem to mesh with the pelvis.
