Pharrell Gets Tattoos Removed

Pharrell Williams, the lead singer of N.E.R.D., is no longer enamored with his tattoos and the artist has started to have his body art removed.

The rapper recently underwent laser surgery to have the tattoos burned out if his skin.

Pharrell recently posted a picture of his bandaged arms after the surgery took place.

“Laser treatment b**ches! Extra crispy. See, no skin graft here, just pure laser pain,” Pharrell said. “This is our own version of Mythbusters! Laser is the new primer.”

Initially, Williams stated that he was going to attempt to cultivate new skin cells and graft the new tissue over his tattoos.

In early 2008, he said, “”It’s going to be pricey, but f**k it, it’s worth it. I got fire on my arms! I’m a grown man! There’s an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. It’s basically like getting a skin graft, but you’re not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you.”

Daily Rant: Somebody Book De La Soul

I’m a little upset today.  Toronto was promised a sun kissed day and we got a sun kissed morning followed by a soul soaking of a natural shower!  To make matters worse I just found out that one of my favorite groups of all time De La Soul is celebrating their 20th anniversary with an international tour and guess which country is not on the list.

Alas, all is not lost.  Mr. Teddy Riley, R&B producer legend is bringing back new material from both of his legendary R&B groups Guy and Blackstreet!  Now that is a movement, reuniting both of your former successful groups.
