Memorable Musician Mugshots - Last Friday (Feb. 7), Trinidad James was arrested for possession of marijuana after he was supposedly smoking at a Mississippi hotel. The charge has since been dropped, but the Atlanta rapper's post-arrest flick from the evening isn't going away anytime soon. He joins a lengthy list of musicians with memorable mugshots. (Photo: Mississippi Law Enforcement)

Justin Bieber - Unfortunately, this one seemed inevitable. After roughly a year of making headlines for random acts of debauchery, teen sensation Justin Bieber’s antics finally caught up to him in January, when he was arrested for drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license. JB's had better photoshoots. (Photo: AP Photo/Miami Dade County Jail)

Jeezy - It was trap or die, so it’s no surprise that Jeezy has been involved in some illegal activities in his life. Within the last month alone, though, the gruff rapper’s been nabbed for allegedly beating up his teenage son as well as for obstruction. No cheesing here. (Photo: Fulton County Sheriff's Department)

DMX - Since the release of his debut album, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, DMX has earned a lengthy list of arrests. From drug possession and theft to driving without a license, the Yonkers native is no stranger to cuffs and usually looks far from his best in the accompanying mugshot. (Photos from left: Courtesy Splash News, ADC / Splash News, Miami-Dade Jail / Splash News)

Faith Evans - In 2004, Faith Evans was arrested on drug possession charges. After staying out of trouble for a few years, she was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in 2010. (Photo: Atlanta Police Department)

Lil Kim - In 2005, Lil Kim was convicted of both perjury and conspiracy — charges that meant that she faced up to 20 years in prison. It didn’t end up being quite that severe, as Kim was ultimately sentenced to a year and a day behind bars. The above shot, though, is from a 1996 pinch for possession of marijuana. (Photo: New Jersey Police Department)

Ne-Yo - In 2008, Ne-Yo was arrested for reckless driving while in Georgia. Officers said that the singer was going over 100 miles per hour when he was pulled over. Perhaps this is why he's almost never seen without a hat.  (Photo: Cobb County Police Department)

Eminem - Back in 2000, shortly after the early success of his debut album, The Slim Shady LP, Eminem was arrested twice in one month. That June, he got two gun charges: for carrying a concealed weapon and for brandishing a weapon. (Photo: Royal Oak Police Department)

50 Cent - Almost ten years before he blew up, 50 Cent was arrested on drug charges. In 1994, at just 19-years-old, Fif was already mean-muggin’ for the camera. (Photo: Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images)

Soulja Boy - Much like Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy blew up as just a teenager. The charges he’s caught have been a bit more serious than those faced by the singer, as SB was arrested in 2011 on felony guns and weapons charges and then again earlier this year on a gun charge. (Photo: AP Photo/Henry County Sheriff's Office)

R. Kelly - R. Kelly has been arrested multiple times — most notably for allegedly having sex with minors in the early 2000s. In 1998, Kells was pinched for misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct. (Photo: Miami Police Department)

Cassidy - In 2005, Cassidy caught some serious charges when he was arrested for murder, attempted murder, weapons possession and more.

Chief Keef - For such a young dude, Chief Keef has faced a number of legal issues. From weed charges to failing to pay child support to speeding, Keef is no stranger to the mug shot camera. (Photo: Courtesy DEKALB COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE)

Lil Wayne - Lil Wayne was arrested on drug charges in Arizona in 2008. Of course, Weezy also caught a gun charge in New York, for which he ended up spending time behind bars. Long hair, don't care. (Photo: Yuma County Police Department)

T.I. - Beyond the legal issues that he had before his rap career exploded, T.I. faced some legal turmoil in recent years. In 2007, he was nabbed on weapons possession charges.

2Pac - Legal troubles were no rarity for 2Pac, but his most notable run-in was for sodomy and sexual abuse. He wound up serving time, and when he came out, signed with Death Row Records.  (Photo: New York State Department of Correctional Services)

Snoop Dogg - In 1993, just as his career was taking off, Snoop was arrested and ultimately charged with murder (which spawned the hit "Murder Was the Case"). In 1996, he was aquitted.(Photo: Los Angeles Police Department)

Flavor Flav - Flavor Flav has a handful of memorable mugshots under his belt, where the Public Enemy member is looking odd or out of sorts. This particular photo was from a speeding arrest earlier this year. (Photo: New York State Police Department)
