Didn't he help start the whole pierced/tribal whatever look back in the day? Now he disowns that whole subculture, as I remember from an interview I read last year. Also, I seem to recall that due to a problem with his adrenal gland, some drug he takesto prevent seizures was processed into LSD -- he's been tripping his entire life, or something to that effect. I also remember something along the lines of "I won't start my next project until my fans come up with a name I like for it." Something very odd and bitchy... Irrevalent... Sorry College is fun... Taking a class taught by a 60 year old white guy who invites bboys into his house to dance. He raps during class and is tracing black and Latin music and dance from their origins up to their entrenchment in NY today... Get to read a book called "Droppin' Science". Life is good. Sam
