...funky trio The Pharcyde have seemed to be on the verge of breakout fame since their entry into the hip hop scene in 1992. Their 2000 release, Plain Rap, made the possibility seem not so far away with a blues-influenced sound and more mature lyrics.

While accounting for their fame absent the blonde locks would be difficult, it’s theoretically possible (each is, after all, a triple threat in her own right—singer, dancer and actress).
