Man I have no clue if Biz Markie produced most EPMD's albums or what Eric B. does, I just found this shit on a random site and decided to post it to see if anybody heard any of these facts and know if any of them are true....

Wow Xcl. You dug up some really good stuff here. Props due!

good shit...good read while @ work....

Eric B's just a street thug.

"According to DMX, K-Solo battled him in jail and completely jacked his style of spelling out words in his rhymes"

I heard this one before on the Beef dvd and that is why X dissed him in Get At Me Dog.

"Cage (bi polar), Scarface (depression) & Kool Keith (depression) have all spent time in mental institutes..."

I know Face did in his early teens.

"common performed his diss track "the bi*ch in you" in ice cubes home town crowd went berserk common walked outta the venue without a scratch"

This is fact to my knowledge.

"Masta Killa was the last member to join Wu"

I got the Wu Manuel and Rza mentions this in the book if I rmember right.

"someone got jacked at a soul assasins studio session while gza was their and everyone but gza was forced to strip"

Heard this one on Beef dvd also. Muggs talks about it.

"Everyone in CashMoney has done at least 2 years in prison"

If they are talkin about CM from New Orleans then I think this is false.

Pretty interesting stuff but it was revealed a few years ago that Keith made the whole mental institution thing up.

But yeah, what the fuck does Eric B do besides hand out beatdowns?

I read about that Marley Marl and Cormega album before... Mega went by the name MC Cor, and I used that in a rhyme one time. It went something like:

"I started everything, I'm the genesis like Sega, hollow out your crew, leave your MC Cor like Cormega"

WHat does "leave your MC cor" even mean?

One of those in the moment incidents.

Maybe he went he would redefine the core of your MCing by imparting his own skills to it. Other words he would make you redefine how you rhyme. Make you a disciple to his style. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
