[edit] Morgan Freeman

The 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)

[edit] Wheelchair User

In 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."

I'll edit when I have time and can confirm that he has paraplegia with an injury at T-5.

In his interview on NPR he states that his injury was at T-4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.41.212 (talk) 04:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gravediggaz

There 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)

[edit] GM GRIMM

MF 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)
