Is there a reason this is the main page, and not Del tha Funkee Homosapien, with a lowercase t? Seems that'd be more... I don't know, correct? --Blue Dream 19:03, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right, so I'm going to move it to make the page with a lowercase 't' the main page. Daniel Brockman 20:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Del's Age

All of the sources I have give his birthdate as 1972; this includes the AllMusic Guide. Do we have a reason to believe in the 1975 date that's given in a recent edit? If not, I'm going to switch it back to '72. Brainslug 03:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "My Brother George"

Can anyone add why the title of his first album is a reference to George Clinton? Soetermans 20:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• You know, I was always under the impression it was a reference to Jonathan Jackson, who was killed when he took a courtroom hostage and demanded that his brother George be released from prison. In fact, I'm almost certain that this is the reference. -- H·G (^words/_works) 07:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is he called an alternative Hip-Hop artist? Although his sound may be different he is still Hip-Hop. He should just be labeled as Hip-Hop, for most fans of Hip-Hop tend to distinguish what is on the radio as Rap and what isn't as Hip-Hop.--Nehooper59 06:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

i have no idea how to properly cite something in a wiki article, but this link sort of verifies the bit about the "how to write a hit song" book, and giving the plaque to his mother. http://www.thewavemag.com/pagegen.php?pagename=article&articleid=22601 i think saying he "wrote the song with the book" is a bit of an exaggeration, though 66.82.9.53 09:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 11th hour DVD

the 11th hour dvd is currently available for purchase from the hiero webstore, so someone should add some info about it, and possibly create a page for it. i would but i don't have my copy yet, so i'm not really in a position to add anything to the article.65.43.223.245 12:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] search problems

So when i want to check this page, i have to make sure that i type in "Del the Funkee Homosapien", as when i type in "del the funky homosapien" or "del tha funky homosapien" or any other variation thereof, it brings me to a "Search, no results found page". So maybe someone could fix it so i don't have to always spell his name the way it's spelled in this article (he has spelled it several different ways on different releases).65.43.213.25 21:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lench mob

I don't get it. Was Del a part of Da Lynch Mob?

he never performed with the group, but he did write several of their lyrics.

[edit] mistadobolina

mista bob dobolina

Oooh oooh!

How come there's nothing about Mistah Bob Dobolina in the article? It's not even in the discography.

[edit] Del & Eminem cousins?

So, at the beginning of the article it says "with the support of cousins Ice Cube and Eminem...". What exactly does this mean? Having no sources to cite, I can still say I'm 99.99999% that Del is in no way related to Marshall Mathers. Is there some other Eminem? This might be a bit hasty, but I'm seriously doubtful of this, so I'm getting rid of it, at least until someone can explain it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tobbemz (talk • contribs) 01:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

no, it's BS.
