It&#8217;s not known whether or not the firing of their first two DJ&#8217;s in the space of a couple of years was weed-related, but for some reason DJ Diamond J and K-La Boss were shown the door to be replaced by DJ Scratch. Dancer\/weed carrier Stezo also broke camp to persue a solo career, which resulted in an enjoyable album but little weed owning. Unfinshed Business saw the introduction of K-Solo, who was a triple threat capable of holding weed, spelling while rapping and punching people in the head.<\/p>\n<p>By the time their third album dropped, the LI-bred duo had aquired the services of a young Reggie Noble &#8211; who most of you will know as Redman &#8211; to carry their boom. When the fourth album rolled around, the fellas must have had one hell of a lah habit, as they now had Das-Efx, Redman, K-Solo, Hurricane G etc. in possession of their shit. They also had the briefly had the ultimate rap accessory &#8211; token white weed carriers &#8211; by the name of The Knuckheadz. Eventually, Erick got mad when he figured out that Parrish owned a hell of a lot more weed he did, so he got some of his buddies to break into Pee&#8217;s crib to steal his stash.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this ended the EPMD partnership, so Erick tried to assemble his own crew of carriers, dubbed The Def Squad. The problem was, by this stage Redman and Keith Murray (who came equipped with his own weed carriers by the name of L.O.D.) were so far ahead of E-Double in terms of rapping skills that he was forced to carry for them on many occassions just so he could hang out with &#8217;em. Luckily, Jamal from Illegal and Joe Synister didn&#8217;t mind carrying for Erick in exchange for some beats, so all was not lost. PMD was more successful in terms of maintaining his weed owner status, quickly assembling a group of no-names such as Top Quality and Nocturnal to carry his enormous stash of trees. Despite wins in this area, both of them proceeded to release some of the most god-awful solo efforts ever seen in rap since 3rd Bass went for &#8220;delf&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually there was a fake-ass reunion album and a bunch of songs with &#8220;2000&#8221; tacked onto the end of the title, which is almost always a bad sign. Sadly, Erick Sermon now has to jump out of windows in order to get a XXL feature and PMD has been reduced to rolling with guys like DJ Honda.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vh1.com\/shared\/media\/news\/images\/s\/Sermon_Erick\/sq-june-2001-studio-int-mtv.jpg\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Marijuana Jones adds: Erick Onasis &#8211; just remember this dude called himself &#8220;The Rap Goddess&#8221; on wax.
