[edit] More to be done

I started cleaning up this article, I think I got it to NPOV! Please continue to clean this up

Anybody know this dude's birthdate?

It was actually 2 songs to Eminem ....pt.2 on the LP. "Behind the musik"

As stated on Behind the Musik, his birthday is June 26, 1975. --Twipie 06:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

PT. 2 was on "Its pronounced five two," not on "behind the musik." i should kno, i have both albums--jesusfreek2 20:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

All I am asking is 'what more do we want in a Christian Rapper?' He is so clean and that is really nice in this day and age when musicians think they can't sell an album without cursing, swearing and showing off half n_ _ _d women. He is a breath of fresh air. I just pray that God will continue to sustain him and keep him from deviating because it is so very easy to do so in this immoral generation.He is surely a role model.His song "I can call on you" has truly been very inspirational to me.i ask,'how many rappers out there either gospel or secular rap these days without cursing?' So give kudos to this guy-KJ52.You can see that he enjoys doing it cos the rhymes just keep flowing from his inside enthusiastically. I think he's a "natural", he has a passion for what he is doing and so will be in this business for a long time if he continues this way. He has been a blessing to so many people and that is the most important achievement for anyone in life; changing lives positively.He is different, no, unique and he will dine with Kings and Presidents. God bless him. - Mathew (Delaware, US / 11-24-2006)

You don't know the definition of "natural" if you think KJ is a "natural" in rap. -Bruno

[edit] This is bizarre.

Ghetto suburb? Mixed up in drugs, drinking, and chasing women? Who wrote this? How can a suburb be a ghetto? How can chasing women be equated to drug use? Most people consider a young man interested in women as healthy, not unhealthy. Kasreyn 03:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

how can a suburb be ghetto ? is that what you said how can it not look at south central LA and watts and compton all suburbs of LA thats a ghetto not all ghettos are from the inner city when people are getting shot and selling drugs in a suburb its ghetto.

Come guys, as stated on Behind the Music, he grew up in Ybor City, Florida. A very rough section of the greater Tampa Bay area, not a suburb. Saksjn 13:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)saksjnSaksjn 13:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's an important thing to this article to be complaining about him growing up in the ghetto or not.Jesusinmysock 20:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MP3 link

The mp3 link links to a page with various titles, althoug KJ-52 is mentioned yet has no working mp3 listed. Hence I removed it.Intinn 16:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright?

Much of the article seems to be heavily influenced, if not directly lifted, from the bio for KJ-52 @ AllMusicGuide [1]. Was this page plagarized, or did they copy it from Wikipedia? It seems to be attributed to a "Johnny Loftus."

[edit] Nickname

Per KJ-52's own FAQ page (http://www.kj52.com/faq.php), "The KJ part is an abbreviation for an old rap name that I used to have". Several sources can be Googled to support that KJ's alias used to be "King J Mack", so I won't list them here. I'm removing the trivia item about "Knowledge and Justification". --Fru1tbat 14:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template removal

I'm removing several instances of {{Infobox Discography}} from the article and reverting to the old version. They're inconsistent (i.e. only for some albums), they don't link to the album articles, and they duplicate track and other information from the album articles which lengthens this article unnecessarily. I seriously doubt they were intended to be use in an artist's discography section (despite the somewhat misleading name). It looks as if it was meant to replace {{Infobox album}}, though the latter has consensus support, as far as I know. If anyone wishes to use the template, the discography section here isn't the place for it anyway. --Fru1tbat 17:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
