    The Harlem Shake beat went on to become a viral phenomenon and #1 hit the next year
    5 Pointz was whitewashed, demolished, and is now an apartment building
    That little project El talked about with Killer Mike turned out alright

      Despot's the kind of hype man that would slowly step off the stage when your verse is about to drop 25 seconds in, slowly walk to the side and away from the crowd, then at the same speed, step back on the stage when the song ends and slowly walk up to you
