Legend has it that he once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. He really liked the girls with the boom.  8)

I loved his Groucho Marx outfits and they way he spat out rhymes in his lyrics.

I remember that song too.

Sad to see him go. I had not realised he and the other members had "fictional stage personae".

The late Tupac (who would've turned 50 later this year) was a bandmate of his in the Digital Underground after the success of "Humpty Dance"; now they are reunited.

The autopsy results were released yesterday. Shock succumbed to the combined effects of booze, meth, and fentanyl.  :\'(
