Didn't Biz also claim that he owns every Barbie and every board game ever made?

Didn't he supposedly own another house to keep his collection in, or was that just records?

Not sure if this is true, can anyone confirm if Kool Keith really blew his Sprite money on drugs and hookers, while he was holed up in some hotel after going AWOL from a tour?
Kool Keith: I wore a straw hat with a feather to the last Source Awards. When I got to Madison Square Garden everybody was looking at me. When I got back home I seen everybody and their mother in their video wearing a fuckinג€™ straw hat with a feather in it.

Tim Dog: ג€œWhat Kool Keith gonna wear? Iג€™m gonna do that shit in my video. Iג€™m gonna wear that shit really quick. Whatג€™s Tim Dog gonna wear?ג€

Was pretty shocked to find out Fat Lip's verse on Oh Shit was a true story. This story gives new meaning to "Bizarre Ride" lol.
:lol: this was funny. saw this a while ago. another fun fact, Fat Lip and SlimKidTre got into a fight over the BPMs of how "Runnin'" sounded at first.

Terminator X was credited for scratching on the first few PE albums, even though the bulk of it was done by Johnny Juice, a filipino DJ, that still works with Chuck D to this day.

Imagine that, being blackballed by PE over a race issue.

his dad was a rocket scientist for Nasa. Lil Jon got his start by DJing giant house parties at his parents mansion in the early 90s. Lil Jon also used to Skateboard competitively.
