All of the above articles are mirrored or contain some variation of the events that took place across many other languages, publications, and sites, which Google will show. The proverbial "blogosphere", along with other various music tracking sites will show that I have a significant fanbase and am indeed a pioneer of the music that has now come to be known as "Nerdcore". --

Photographic and video evidence:

The CD insert off of the "Married to the Game" release by Too Short. The track "pimpandho.com" is completely computer-themed which is something Too Short knew little about, therefore I assisted him in writing this track after meeting him in Vegas in 2003. He also mentions my name towards the end of the actual song, along with KB and D-Money, both promoters of the Players' Ball (www.theplayersball.com). --

I don't know what other proof is necessary and I don't even know if I have provided this in the correct format. I must say I feel very stupid and narcissistic because I am defending my entry in an encyclopedia, but I'll chalk it up to boredom.


 * Well, I'm satisfied. Wikipedia typically frowns on people creating articles about themselves (see WP:VAIN) but there's nothing stopping you from adding to an article about yourself, especially with this many sources. If you're still bored, go for it, and while you're here, think about contributing to other articles. It's addicting. android  79  23:39, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the vote of confidence. I did not originate this entry but its existence obviously came to my attention eventually.  As for contributing to other articles, I just fixed a spelling error in WP:VAIN.  Go me.
