They became super famous with the cover of a George Michael song. No way, when KoRn took them on tour, they never played it; they usually opened the show with "Stuck" and closed with "Counterfaith"... and KoRn would jump back in on the same scratches to open theirs with "Shoots & Ladders." The George Michael cover was used to break into Europe, but "3 Dollars" didn't sell that well "here." The song that really made them famous (worldwide) is this one, from the second album: It was all planned: cameos from Snoop, Dre, Eminem, Tony Hawk, and even the actor from those ridiculous college movies from the '90s... and we had the complete commercial West Coast scene. To top it off, two months later the single with Method Man came out (he's nobody here, a demigod in New York) and the "beat" was by DJ Premiere (he's less than nobody here, in New York they bow down as he passes) plus at the end of the video, all the top New York rap scene shows up, and the USA (rap) circuit is complete. To top it all off, that summer they clashed with half the alternative music world (I think Trent Reznor threw a pretty good punch at him) and at Woodstock they were accused of inciting the crowd to commit arson and rape, big headlines in the newspapers and interviews with NBC. Nevertheless, they won the MTV award for I don't remember which category. In short, a lot of money was spent behind them, paying George Michael's rights wasn't enough. Hop Hop Hop, Din Din Din!
