[QUOTE="Chainsaw45, post: 1088982, member: 561807"] Did anyone read the whole page from the link that tRiGgEr posted? "There are so many versions of this rumor flying around it's hard to know which one to address first. I may as well begin by dispelling the notion that the article above ever appeared on the hip-hop news site to which it's attributed, ALLHIPHOP.com. It didn't.
