Morgan Freeman
editThe first fact about Morgan Freeman helping him to get his job on Sesame Street is untrue. He got the job through an audition set up by "a friend of his mother." -Source: Fresh Air Interview —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.41.212 (talk) 16:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- From the Village Voice interview (source [1]):
“ | Morgan Freeman, the family's next-door neighbor, quickly put Carey to work; the actor thought a three-year-old Percy—who then had an Afro and a potbelly—would look great on Sesame Street's stoop. | ” |
- Maybe Morgan Freeman was his mother's friend? Given they were next-door neighbours it seems at least possible. tomasz. 17:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, but that would be speculation... Is it worth having more about Grimm and Doom, and their collaboration/animosity in here? Benny Digital Speak Your Brains 16:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Wheelchair User
editIn the paragraph "Murder attempt," it says that he "is still permanently confined to a wheelchair." This phrase is inaccurate (most whhelchair users get out of their chairs for activities such as bathing, sleeping, etc.) and is almost as offensive as the phrase "wheelchair bound."
See: http://www.disapedia.com/index.php?title=Guide_to_Appropriate_Terms
I'll edit when I have time and can confirm that he has paraplegia with an injury at T-5.

Gravediggaz
editThere was only one Gravediggaz, of which the Grym Reaper was a member, and their affiliation with Wu-Tang lay solely in the fact that the group was produced and formed by the RZA. Whether or not MF Grimm was the Grym Reaper is not known, but they sound different to one and other. The Gravediggaz were a stand alone outfit whom pioneered the "Horrorcore" sub-genre of Hip Hop, inspiring such artists as Insane Poetry (Album: Grim Reality) and Necro. One of the Gravediggaz passed away in 2001 after a long battle with colon cancer. R.I.P Poetic. - GregVersion2 22:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- no, there were two sets of Gravediggaz. One was RZA, Poetic, Frukwan & Prince Paul, the other was MF Grimm and Roc Raida of the X-Ecutioners. the rest of what you say (about the Wu-affiliated Gravediggaz) is true. tomasz. 15:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- MF Grimm talks about this in his myspace. http://www.myspace.com/mfgrimm1Jeek X (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
GM GRIMM
editMF Grimm has recently changed his name to GM Grimm, as noted at http://www.mfgrimm.com/bio.html there. This article's name should be changed. -The Hams 23:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
In jail
editArticle should tell more about charges. The situation when life imprisonment (major punishment, next only to capital punishment) is changed 3 years (a minor punishment) in very uncommon. When can I find more information about his problems with law? I would really like to find out what happend to him. Netrat (talk) 02:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Grand Master Grimm
editMF Grimm aka Grand Master Grimm. He has stated several times that he deserves the title of Grand Master alongside figures such as Roc Raida, Flash, Caz, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.113.143 (talk) 03:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Broken reference on one day bail
editDoes anyone have another source for "He paid a one-day bail of $100,000, recording The Downfall of Ibliys: A Ghetto Opera in those twenty-four hours"? the current pitchfork link 404s. Maximilianklein (talk)
added a uncreated "discography section" and a "other appearances" section, plus 2 new albums
editI've added sources for 2 new albums he's done in 2013, as well as a uncreated section for his Discography, which could detail his guest appearances, his EPs, his studio albums, his singles, ect.
I've also made a "other appearances" section to include his work on A Chronic Tribute to Dr. Dre. I know there are many other appearances Mr. Grimm has done over the years, even through the 90s that will probably never be found, but I though I'd make these sections, in hope that people will create the page, and build up his discography, it's completely needed as this man has been around for over 2 decades, and has done a lot. 71.188.21.128 (talk) 05:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
