Edits[edit]

it should be mentioned that he is a scientologist and maybe some more information: how he became one, were he participates, what he thinks about it, etc.

mai b not[edit]

change "la di dakh di/the show" to indicate seperate songs (ie. "the show" Italic textandItalic text "la di da di". its written like they are the same song. also, only "the show" samples inspector gadget. both have slick rick, but thats about all they have in common

Nuwaubianism[edit]

Not sure why this is listed under See also; googling it, most references to D.E.F./Nuwaubianism trace back to the Wikipedia entry. If it is credible, perhaps it should be written up in a couple of sentences under Personal life, like his being a Scientologist is. Closenplay 18:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What?[edit]

His single "The Show" (which cribs the melody from the Inspector Gadget theme)

What does "cribs the melody" mean? Does it mean sample? Seizurebot1011 22:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From m-w.comː to crib = "PILFER, STEAL; especially : PLAGIARIZE." It's a nicer way of saying they stole the melody. I guess an even nicer way of putting it would be to say that it "quotes" the melody. Closenplay 01:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

same producer as the original song - youtube —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.63.83 (talk) 07:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC) paul fersch worked on the original human beatbox just having funs' synths, the guy who did inspecter gadget with the kartoon crew with craig bevan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.63.83 (talk) 07:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what? The "Kartoon Krew" version is just another rip-off of the original cartoon theme. Same thief stole it... doesn't make it legit. MaxVolume (talk) 03:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
