Who is Rob & Big?

The Rob & Big is one heck of a show! Rob & Big is an American reality television series that followed the lives of professional skateboarder/american actor, Rob Dyrdek , and his best friend and body guard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. The show premiered on November 2, 2006 and ended on April 15, 2008. The series was produced by Ruben Fleischer and directed by Mark Jacobs.
The show helped MTV2 achieve its highest rated day in channel history on January 15, 2007. The first full season reached over 70 million total viewers, and was ranked #1 in its time period. They say a "Cult Comedy" is strange, quirky, offbeat, eccentric, oddball, or surreal, with outrageous, weird, unique and cartoon characters or plots. These characters are often considered controversial because they step outside standard narrative and technical conventions. They can be very stylized, and they are often flawed or unusual in some striking way....
So who is Rob and Big? I am a fan of the show and it was my pleasure to do this research on these two, so lets get started with one of the stars of the show…

Robert "Rob" Dyrdek was born June 28, 1974 in Kettering, Ohio). Robert Dyrdek and started when he was 15 winning his first competition 24 days later.[2] The same year, Dyrdek became the youngest member of the G&S skateboard team. He turned professional at the age of 16, joining the Ohio-based Alien Workshop team, forgoing his senior year of high school. He reached fourth place at the 1991 World Championships, the and first contest he competed in as a professional.
As a professional, Rob Dyrdek attracted a growing number of sponsors, appeared in skate movies, on magazine covers, signature skateboards, and other merchandise. One of his best known sponsorship deals developed after he befriended the founders of the Droors Clothing line. He not only began promoting their clothing, but was given the opportunity to design a signature line of the first athletic skate shoe. The nearly 30 shoes designed by Dyrdek helped establish what became DC Shoes. This exposure to the business side of skateboarding inspired him to venture into other projects such as the world-famous skateboarding training facility in San Diego and the now defunct hip hop label, P-Jays Records.

At the age of 25, Dyrdek rededicated himself to street skateboarding. He began competing for the first time since his early professional years and received a multitude of awards and international recognition. The success and accolades renewed his desire to give back to the sport. He quickly identified the niche that needed to be filled in order to advance the sport – tackling the struggle that skaters faced in finding legal street skating sites in the United States. As Dyrdek experienced firsthand, street skateboarders are often ticketed, arrested and harassed by overly aggressive security guards and police. Dyrdek realized that many cities were open to compromise but were not qualified to follow through on their end of the agreement and they built poorly constructed parks that do not meet street skating requirements. He decided to task himself with providing street skaters with legitimate, safe and challenging street skating venues.
The formation of the Rob Dyrdek/DC Shoes Skate Plaza Foundation resulted in the Kettering Skate Plaza in his hometown of Kettering, Ohio. Working with the Site Design Group, Dyrdek designed the skate park by educating himself in design and drafting techniques. He used photos of his favorite skate spots to assemble an illustrated book of tricks and obstacles for the plaza. The 40,000 square foot Kettering Skate Plaza opened in June 2005, as a legal place for street skaters to hone their skills.[3]The Kettering Skate Plaza received rave reviews from the skateboarding community and won the Modernism Award from Dwell magazine.[4] Filmmaker Kirk Dianda documented the design process in the film Groundbreaking, which also serves as a reference for youngsters to lobby for skate plazas in their cities.
While building the Skate Plaza, Dyrdek's long time dream of making a movie about skateboarding came to fruition. Dyrdek’s foray into the film business manifested itself in the writing, financing, casting, producing and starring in his feature film, Street Dreams. The story is about a young skater from the Midwest who is suddenly faced with national exposure and personal adversity, reminiscent of Dyrdek's own rise to fame.

In 2006, Dyrdek became a reality TV star due to the success of MTV's Rob & Big. The three-season series was picked up by MTV after a skit written by Dyrdek in The DC Video became an underground sensation. The series ended in April of 2008 with Boykin moving out and, thus, ending the production of the show due to the birth of his first child. Dyrdek is coming out with a new show on MTV called Fantasy Factory. MTV wants it to come out in the 4th quarter so its expected to be released in late November or early December.
Dyrdek says, "I’ll actually start filming a new show that I call “Fantasy Factory” next month, which will be more about my skating, friends, business ventures, and adventures that I’m going to be getting into over the next year or so."

Adding to his acting repertoire, Dyrdek has been cast in the Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro film Righteous Kill.[5]
Current Dyrdek involvement includes: endorsements including Spy Optics, Alien Workshop and Monster Energy drinks; co-owner of Rogue Status, a clothing company with his business partner, former Blink 182 and current Plus 44 drummer Travis Barker; involvement with his own companies, Reflex Bearings and Silver Trucks; feature character in Skate, a video game from EA Sports; promoter of SafeSpot, an urban renewal program that seeks to take unused donated land and build safe skating grounds for street skateboarders; also a playable character in the game MTV Sports: Skateboarding released in 2000


is an American professional skateboarder, actor, entrepreneur, and star of his own reality TV series entitled Rob & Big with then personal bodyguard and best friend Christopher "Big Black" Boykin.[1] He currently resides in North Hollywood, California.
Rob was the first skater signed with DC shoes, he met big black through DC shoes and hired him to prevent security guards and others from stopping him from skating where he wanted. THey instantly became friends and the rest is history.


Christopher "Big Black" Boykin was born January 26, 1972 in Wiggins, Mississippi. is an ex professional bodyguard, but is best known for his role on MTV's television show Rob & Big which followed him and his co-host/best friend Rob Dyrdek.
The world knows Him has big black but his birth certificate may say Christopher Boykin. One look at the 375-pound, 6-foot-6-inch African American executive skateboarder protection specialist is all that is needed to explain his obvious nickname.

Chris "Big Black" Boykin first linked up with skateboard pro Rob Dyrdek and DC Shoes for a supporting role in a segment in the 2003 skateboarding video, "The DC Video." The two were featured together in a skit where Rob hires a security guard -- Big Black -- to protect him from other security guards during Robs skateboard adventures.. Rob and Big reconnected in their roles a year later in "The DC Video: Deluxe Edition" DVD, then powered through a world-wide tour. Needless to say, the two hit it off and the rest is history.

In addition to pumping iron and protecting skaters, Chris "Big Black" Boykin has his own signature hat collection with New Era, sporting the slogan, "Got Big Black?" and his face can also be seen plastered on DC shirts. Chris "Big Black" Boykin is also working on his first rap album, which will include the early favorite "Stick Wit It." The song spits rhymes like, "I only rap about burgers and fries, chicken and thighs!"

Considering the time Chris "Big Black" Boykin spends with his client, living with Rob was a natural move for Big. Just as natural are the laughs. "Life with him is all-day comedy," Rob says."The world doesn't know what it's in for."
Boykin is a U.S. Navy veteran, where he was a chef.[1]
Boykin worked as an executive protection specialist until he met Dyrdek in 2003. In a skit for "The DC Video", Rob hired Big Black to be a bodyguard in order to protect him from security guards.[2] In 2004, they played their characters again in "The DC Video: Deluxe Edition DVD".[3]
Boykin is also a member of the hip-hop group "The Chunky Boys". The group consists of four members: Big Black, Bam Bam, Zeus, and Steve OG. They describe their music as "a collage of chunky material influenced by our size as well as our girth". Bam Bam and Big Black of The Chunky Boys are featured on Rob Dyrdek's fictitious artist Bobby Light's song "Dirty Girl". The song is a collaboration between Dyrdek, Big Black, Bam Bam, and Drama, who's real name is Chris Pfatf. It was recorded at their house and a crudely-made music video was created shortly after. All of this was featured in an episode from the second season of Rob & Big.[4]
Boykin also has his own clothing line. The clothes are available through his online store, BigBlackSecurity.com. The store sells shirts and accessories for men, women, and children.[5]

There are many questions about the show since Big moved out, Will their be a season 4? That hasn't been confirmed. But, sources say, "Yes," since Christopher "Big Black" Boykin has a baby daughter, now. But hopefully in the future, there will be a "reunion" episode where they meet again. MTV would probably get the most views in history that day, because who doesn't like "Rob and Big.".

Who is Marion Hugh Knight?

Who is Marion Hugh Knight, Jr. you probably know him as Suge Knight. Suge was born April 19, 1965 in Compton, California,. He is an entrepreneur in the hip hop music industry and co-founder and CEO of Death Row Records, and could have been credited in giving it that name from his 1996 interview with Vibe magazine. The record label rose to dominate the charts after Dr. Dre's breakthrough success The Chronic in 1992. After several years of chart successes for artists including Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound, Death Row Records stagnated after Knight's incarceration on parole violation charges in September
Death Row Records

Dr. Dre of N.W.A. wished to depart from both his group and their label, Ruthless Records, run by Eazy-E, another member of N.W.A. This process involved Suge Knight who negotiated a contract release for Dr. Dre that, according to N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller, involved Knight and his henchmen threatening Heller and Eazy-E with pipes and baseball bats. Ultimately, Dre co-founded Death Row Records in 1991 with Knight, who famously vowed to make it "the Motown of the '90s."
For a time, Knight made good on his ambitions: He secured a distribution deal with Interscope, and Dre's 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, became one of the most influential rap albums of all time. It also made a star of Dre's protégé, Snoop Doggy Dogg, whose debut album, Doggystyle, was another smash hit in 1993. As Dre's signature G-funk production style took over hip-hop, Death Row became a reliable brand name for gangsta rap fans, and even its lesser releases sold consistently well. However, Knight was already courting controversy; during the recording sessions for The Chronic, he was arrested for assaulting two aspiring rappers who allegedly used a phone without his permission, and was placed on several years probation.
Meanwhile, Death Row had begun a public feud with 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell, and when Knight traveled to Miami for a hip-hop convention in 1993, he was apparently seen openly carrying a gun. The following year, he opened a private, by-appointment-only nightclub in Las Vegas called Club 662, so named because the numbers spelled out MOB, Knight's gang affiliation, on telephone keypads. In 1995, he ran afoul of activist C. Delores Tucker, whose criticism of Death Row's glamorization of the "gangsta" lifestyle helped scuttle a lucrative deal with Time Warner.

Additionally, Knight's feud with East Coast impresario Sean Combs (aka P Diddy) took a nasty turn when Knight insulted the Bad Boy label honcho on air at the Source Awards in August 1995. Openly critical of Puffy's tendency of ad-libbing on his artists' songs and dancing in their videos, Knight announced to the audience of recording artists and industry figures, "Anyone out there who wanna be a recording artist and wanna stay a star, but don't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing, come to Death Row."
The same year, Knight offered to post a hefty bail for Tupac Shakur if the troubled rapper agreed to sign with Death Row. Shakur agreed, setting the stage for his 1996 blockbuster double album All Eyez on Me and the smash hits "California Love" and "How Do U Want It." Shakur helped Death Row stay on top of a marketplace that was already shifting back toward the East Coast, which had devised its own distinct brand of hardcore rap.
[
However, the label suffered a major blow when Dr. Dre, frustrated with the company's increasingly thuggish reputation and Knight's violent inclinations, decided to leave and form his own label. A stream of Dre-dissing records followed, but things turned tragic later in 1996, when Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting as a passenger in a car driven by Knight, even though he himself was grazed by a bullet coming their way. When Shakur's East Coast rival, The Notorious B.I.G., was murdered in a similar fashion in March 1997, speculation immediately arose that Knight was involved and that B.I.G.'s death was a revenge killing, although former artists like Snoop Dogg would later state that Suge was involved in Tupac's murder as well, despite his bullet wound from that night. Subsequent investigations exposed a web of connections between Death Row Records, gang members who worked there, and LAPD officers who sometimes worked security for the label and its artists during off hours, but to date, both murders remain unsolved.
On April 4, 2006, When Suge Knight filed for bankruptcy due to civil litigation against him in which Lydia Harris claimed to have been cheated out of a 50% stake in Death Row Records was on it way out!. Prior to filing, Knight had been ordered to pay $107 million to Harris.[5] Under questioning by creditors, he denied having money tucked away in foreign countries or in an African company that deals in diamonds and gold. Bankruptcy documents filed showed Knight had no income this year from employment or operation of a business. His bank account contained just $11, and he owned clothing worth $1,000, furniture and appliances valued at $2,000, and jewelry worth $25,000, according to the records. He had testified that the last time he checked the label’s financial records was at least 10 years ago. Knight’s lawyer said that his client was still “at the helm” of Death Row and had been working on securing distribution deals for the label’s catalog. Knight had also testified that he had reached an agreement with Lydia Harris, saying "I settled for a million and signed off on it."[ Harris told reporters she had received a $1 million payment but had not agreed to settle the matter. "I'm telling you, I didn't do a settlement for $1 million. That's ridiculous. Let's keep it real,"[ she said.
Knight skipped a meeting with his creditors after injuring himself in a motorcycle accident. Another scheduled meeting with the creditors had been missed after Suge said he had experienced a death in his family. Finally on July 7, 2006, the federal judge, Ellen Carroll, ordered a bankruptcy trustee takeover of Suge Knight's Death Row Records, saying the record label had undergone a gross amount of mismanagement. She commented that "apparently there's no one at the helm of Death Row". He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allows a company to continue business operations while restructuring. Death Row was being operated by Neilson during the bankruptcy proceedings, while Knight oversaw his bankruptcy estate as a debtor in possession.
Recently he was engaged again in another dispute with former friend and ex-associate Snoop Dogg after Snoop disrespected him in Rolling Stone magazine. Suge responded on Pagesix.com calling Snoop Dogg "a rat" and "a crybaby", accusing him of not serving time in prison due to his close relations with the police and running away from "real" fights.[6]
In June 2007, he placed his seven-bedroom, 9 1/2-bath home in Malibu on the market for $6.2 million as part of his "financial makeover".
Knight has started a new record label called Blackball Records, with its first signee Young Life and has featured it in his new reality show called "Unfinished Business". The show is based on Knight dispelling long-standing rumors in sit down interviews, his days with Death Row and the artists he worked with, and finding new talent for his record label. As of June 2008, the show has not been picked up by any major network.


On May 10th 2008, Knight was involved in an altercation involving a monetary dispute outside of a nightclub in Hollywood. He was knocked out for 3 minutes, taken to the hospital, and did not cooperate with the LAPD. About a month later, he sold Death Row Records to New York-based company Global Music Group, which confirmed it had purchased the firm in a statement to the Associated Press news agency[7] [2]
On the 27th of August, Knight was arrested on drugs charges, as well as assault, after leaving a strip club near the Las Vegas strip. When police arrived on the scene Knight was beating his girlfriend of three years while holding a knife, and had on him both Ectasy and hydrocodone. He was later bailed for $19,000 and is due to appear in court on the 26th September to face these charges.[8] [3] Knight's girlfriend, Melissa Isaac, who was scheduled to testify against him in the assault case, has since gone missing, leading to speculation that Knight is involved in her disappearance.[9] As of October 31, police and prosecutors had still failed to contact Knight's girlfriend, Melissa Isaacs, and no formal charges have been brought against Knight. [10]
As part of an October 30th 2008 bankruptcy claim made by Suge Knight Suge has also filed a lawsuit with the intention of suing Kanye West and associates over the 2005 shooting at Kanye's pre VMA awards party in August 2005 where Knight was shot in the upper leg. Included in the lawsuit is the intention to make claims for damages over mental and physical pain caused by the shooting, costs of surgery, loss of income and the theft of a 15 carat $135,000 diamond earring.[11]

Who is Adam Richard Sandler

Adam Richard Sandler was born September 9, 1966, he is 42. Sandler was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Judy, a nursery school teacher, and Stanley Sandler, an electrical engineer.[3] Sandler was raised Jewish.[4] When he was five, his family moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he attended Manchester Central High School. He found he was a natural comic, and nurtured his talent while at New York University by performing regularly in clubs and on campuses. Sandler did not excel as a student. His interests lay elsewhere. He loved wrestling, and basketball - he played on Manchester Central High School's junior varsity team. Even now he keeps a hoop nearby whenever he's on-set. And there was music. At age 11, he got up to sing at Elizabeth's wedding, performing Ringo Starr's You're Sixteen to huge applause. Overly enthused, he then broke into Yesterday, and was roundly booed for trying to be the centre of attention. This was always the way with Sandler. You love him or you hate him. Or you love him, THEN you hate him. Then you love him again. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1991. On June 22, 2003, Sandler married actress Jacqueline Samantha Titone, and they are the parents of two daughters, Sadie Madison Sandler, born May 6, 2006, at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, [15] and Sunny Madeline Sandler, born November 2, 2008.[16] Sandler lives with his family in Los Angeles, though he also has a home in New York.
In 2007, Sandler made a million-dollar donation to the Boys and Girls Club in his hometown, Manchester, NH.[17] He also donated $2100 to the primary campaign of Rudy Giuliani the same year.[18]


Later in his career, he would often draw on his earliest memories for material for his comedy and movies. The song "Lunchlady Land" is dedicated to Emalee, the lunchlady at Hayden Dining Hall at New York University. In the movie Click, Sandler goes to Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in New Hampshire, where he went to summer camp.

In the mid to late 1980s, Sandler played Theo Huxtable's friend, Smitty, on The Cosby Show (1987–1988). He was a performer for the MTV game show Remote Control, on which he made appearances as the characters "Trivia Delinquent" or "Stud Boy". Early in his career, Sandler performed in comedy clubs, taking the stage at his brother's urging when he was only 17. He was discovered by comedian Dennis Miller, who caught Sandler's act in Los Angeles. Miller recommended him to Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. Sandler was hired as a writer for SNL in 1990 and became a featured player the following year, making a name for himself by performing amusing original songs on the show, including "The Chanukah Song".[5] He left the show in 1995 to focus on his film career.

Sandler's first starring role was in 1989, in the film Going Overboard. In 1995, he starred in Billy Madison, in which he plays a grown, though uneducated, man repeating grades 1–12 to earn back his father's respect, along with the right to inherit his father's multi-million-dollar hotel empire. He followed this film with other financially successful comedies such as Bulletproof (1996), Happy Gilmore (1996) and The Wedding Singer (1998). He was initially cast in the bachelor-party-themed comedy/thriller Very Bad Things (1998), but had to back out due to his involvement in The Waterboy (1998),[6] one of his first hits.

Although his earlier films did not receive critical praise, his more recent films, beginning with Punch-Drunk Love (2002), have received almost uniformly positive reviews. Some critics concluded that Sandler possessed considerably more acting ability that they believed had been previously wasted on poorly written scripts and characters with no development.[7] Audiences have remained faithful to Sandler's slapstick humor to the tune of US$100-million-plus grossing movies. Sandler has moved outside the genre of goofball humor to take on more serious parts such as the aforementioned Punch-Drunk Love (for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe), Spanglish (2004) and Reign Over Me (2007). He played a loving father figure in Big Daddy (1999). During filming, he met Jacqueline Samantha Titone — his future wife and mother of his daughter — who was cast as the waitress from The Blarney Stone Bar.

At one point, Sandler was considered for the part that went to Jamie Foxx in Collateral (2004).[6] He also was one of the finalists along with Jim Carrey and Johnny Depp for the role of Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).[6] He returned to more dramatic fare with Mike Binder's Reign Over Me (2007), a drama about a man who loses his entire family in 9/11 and rekindles a friendship with his old college roommate (played by Don Cheadle). He starred in the film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) alongside Kevin James, as a New York City fireman pretending to be gay keep up an insurance scam so that his best friend's children can have benefits. Sandler's most recent film is You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008), a comedy about a Mossad agent who fakes his own death and moves to the United States to become a hair stylist. The film was written by Sandler, The 40-Year-Old Virgin writer-director Judd Apatow (who was an old roommate of Sandler's when both were starting out), and Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog creator Robert Smigel, and was directed by Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan.
"Like Will Ferrell, Sandler has layers of tenderness under layers of irony under layers of tenderness — plus a floating anger like Jupiter’s great red spot," wrote David Edelstein of New York magazine in a review of You Don't Mess with the Zohan. "Some performers become stars because we can read them instantly, others — like Sandler — because we never tire of trying to get a fix on them."[8]
He recently finished production on Bedtime Stories (2008), a fantasy film directed by Bringing Down the House director Adam Shankman, about a stressed real estate developer whose bedtime stories he reads to his niece and nephew begin to come true. This will mark Sandler's first family film and first film under the Walt Disney banner.[9] Keri Russell and English comedian Russell Brand co-star and the film is set to be released on Christmas of 2008.
His next film will be Judd Apatow's third directorial feature Funny People. Sandler stars as a very successful stand up comedian who finds out he has a terminal illness and he takes a young inexperienced comic, played by Seth Rogen, under his wing. Other co-stars include Eric Bana and Apatow's wife, Leslie Mann. The film will contain more dramatic elements than Apatow's previous efforts.[10] Filming began in October of 2008 with a tentative release date of July 31, 2009.[11]
At one point, Sandler was in talks to star in Quentin Tarantino's World War II film Inglourious Basterds, which he confirmed, but he said he will not be in it due to a scheduling conflict with Funny People.[12] In June 2007, it was announced that his production company, Happy Madison, had made a preemptive acquisition for Mitch Albom's screenwriting debut.[13]

Sandler formed his film production company, Happy Madison Productions,[14] in 1999, first producing fellow SNL alumi Rob Schneider's film, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. Happy Madison has produced all of Sandler's subsequent films to date with the exceptions Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish and Reign Over Me.

Sandler is known for consistently working with a core group of friends and associates through Happy Madison, frequently casting fellow SNL peformers in various roles in his films. Happy Madison produced David Spade's Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star[14] and Sandler cameoed as a special audience member in an episode of The Showbiz Show with David Spade.

SNL contemporary Kevin Nealon has appeared in nine Happy Madison productions or Sandler films, including Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Little Nicky, Joe Dirt, Eight Crazy Nights, Anger Management, Grandma's Boy, You Don't Mess with the Zohan and the Dana Carvey vehicle, The Master of Disguise.
He appeared as the featured guest on the final episode of John McEnroe's eponymous CNBC talk show, airing in late 2004. McEnroe appeared as himself in three of Sandler's films (Mr. Deeds, Anger Management, and You Don't Mess with the Zohan).
Sandler and Happy Madison produced SNL contemporary Rob Schneider's vehicles Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999), The Animal (2001), The Hot Chick (2002), and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005), with Sandler making cameo appearances in the latter three. Meanwhile, Schneider has appeared in cameo roles in Sandler films The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Click, The Longest Yard and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Schneider had larger roles in Sandler films Big Daddy, 50 First Dates, Eight Crazy Nights, and You Don't Mess with the Zohan.
Others who frequently appear in Sandler films include Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Jon Lovitz, Clint Howard, Norm MacDonald, and longtime Sandler pals Allen Covert, Peter Dante, and Jonathan Loughran.
