[08/23/01]- D12's Proof Dis Bizkit:



Last Friday night D12's Big Proof sat down to do a web chat on ChartAttack. Some of the highlights included:



Threatening someone who said the "Purple Pills" video was too bright and colorful.

In answering the double jeopardy question "Proof, do you [use] drugs and if so, which ones?" He responded, "yes I do drugs and I only do the good ones."

A cool endorsement for literacy, he says the best way to improve your rap writing is to read a lot.

On Limp Bizkit: "We're males and they're females. They're girls."

Proof wants to collaborate with Sevendust, Marilyn Manson and LL Cool J.
