The Popdust Files: biz markie, Fat Joe, rick ross

Rick Ross rocked an open shirt on stage at Hot 97′s Summer Jam this weekend, and bared it all for a recent Vibe cover. It’s 98 degrees in New York City—how can we expect people to keep their shirts on?! While Ross is not the first to let his chest hairs breathe in public, his recent bouts of shirtlessness call to mind other portly males who never really liked the confines of simple fabrics. Behold, a collection:
