[edit] WikiHeadz

Eric B. should have his own page indeed, talk to someone you know who knows a fair bit about hip-hop history and has access to Wikipedia. Try to get them to write something. See any hip-hop pages that need expanding, even tangentially? WikiHeadz is distributed by the GFDL

[edit] Eric B., a rapper?

Eric B. was the DJ in the group, and not a rapper. He did pick up the mic as a solo artist later on, however. Eric B. is now hosting tv shows. Upon questioning, he stated that he would leave Rakim to music, so i can keep tv.

I didn't know he was on t.v could you list some shows he's on.

[edit] Eric B.'s wiki page

I will probably make one for him. He is a main part of one of the most important rap groups. He deserves a page. --Taurus8 sam 08:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eric B

Why doesn't Eric B have his own page?

Don't get me wrong when I say this because I think eric b. is one of the best d.j.'s to ever live but the star of the group was the legendary rakim eric b. was almost considered an add on, although I think he should have his own page.
