I was also thinking Lee Perry as a contributing member, and obviously the hardcore days (John Berry
Kate Schellenbach seem to have been omitted). In fact, what page were you looking at Kenny?! Have you sorted it yourself?

[YoungRemy]

its wikipedia.. you can contribute more info if you want... but yeah, all the ones Kenny mentioned are already on that page...

they are listed on there as well, as former members

Doctor Dre, not Dr Dre. Doctor Dre is the enormous fat dude from "Whos the Man" and Yo MTV Raps. Dr Dre still has a career.

ok, go to the right of the page, where the beastie diamond is. then theres a photo underneath. then you see "background information". then you see "members" then it has Mike D, Adrock, Mca and MMM. then it has "former members" and it names Kate and John.

Well, Hurra was their DJ for how many years? He should have been clearly mentioned as a former member. MMM was mentioned as a current member so why not Hurra as a former member? The same deal with Dr Dre and Rick.

I would love to correct the section Im talking about but I cant seem the "edit" button for that particular section.

[dave790]

I see what you mean mate. Still, it's all there at least somewhere on the page.

[KENNY GUIDO]

[CJS1981]

was he just acting for the film or did he have an actual job as thier dj offset?

[CJS1981]

from what I understand, he dj'ed a few gigs too. But in the movie he stood in for Hurra because he already had another part, plus he was behind JMJ when Run DMC performed
