Photographer to the stars, Terry Richardson, has captured a range of noteworthy figures in the crosshairs of his camera lens. And in recent years, a lot more rappers have stood in front of that white wall; but in each shoot, at least one of their photos have been a bit, um, questionable.
In other words, these aren’t flicks from, say, a Jonathan Mannion gallery. But rather, they often mimic Richardson‘s quirkiness to very entertaining results.
Faux furs, wigs, du-rags, sexual innuendos, and funny faces have all had a place of the random hilarity of the shutterbug’s shoots. See what we’re talking about in the gallery of the following pages.

Play On, Playa
Snoopy D-O double G has flourished for a while as The Dogfather, but never have we ever seen a fur with a t-shirt. That’s oh so player.
Lupe With The Ceasar
From time to time, we forget that the Chicagorilla wasn’t always the dread-rocking, prolific Twitter figure we see today.
Finger + Circle = XXX
A shirtless Bronsolino has the grimace of life as he gestures his figures in a recognizable way. And he’s not throwing gang signs.
The Du-Rag Dynasty
Tyler has the strings tied to the front, b!
Waka Night Fever
If John Travolta sported gold fronts, donned tattoos and frequented Atlanta in Saturday Night Fever, we’d confuse him for the Brick Squad rapper.
Ponytail-stache?
We see what’s going on with the Harlem rapper, but we can’t figure out how Richardson’s hairdo went from a borderline buzz cut to whatever’s going on here.
Dance, Michael
Is it us, or does Domo look like the King of Pop on the cover of Off The Wall.
Throwing Ones For Fun
T.R. clearly has a synergy with Odd Future. This time, the crew looks like they’re at Magic City sans the pole athletes.
Mardi Gras Rozay
The MMG general has a history of unrobing his upper half, but it’s much different when it’s on the cover Rolling Stone. That’s like if your uncle, who also has an affinity for semi-nudity, changed locales from the back room to the park.
Yeezus Meets Heady Munster
Now, Mr. West, we can’t understand the logic behind this one.
