True, but they would not have got the show (Rob was turned down when he pitched a show to MTV with just himself) or stayed on the air as long as they did without big Black.

But that goes both ways. It was them both playing off each other that made the show awesome. It was the unlikely pairing of a 5 foot nothing white dude and a ginormous black dude as best friends (even though they were never really best friends, just friends on a TV show). And as scripted as R&B was at times, it was still awesome and hilarious to watch. My favorite MTV show by far.

I always figured, with what I had heard and read, that both of their egos got a little out of hand, and that ultimately led to the split. And to be honest, it was Rob who was the main money-maker on the show, and the one who always paid for shite anyway. So while I may not agree with him/his people wanting the lion's share of the money, I can understand their side I guess.

And jsut for good measure, Bam Bam sucked monkey arse. Big time.
