Chris Brown @chrisbrown - Is there anything Chris Brown hasn't tweeted? The R&B bad boy is a stereotypical artist, sharing his incredible talent and volcanic personality.

The drama eventually caused Brown to delete his profile, but of course, he came back for #teambreezy.(Photo: Christopher Polk/AMA2012/Getty Images for AMA)

"Grimey" - N.O.R.E. put his twist on the word "grimy," which means covered in dirt, to create the word "grimey," the title of this 2002 track.

On the hook, he reiterates his disdain characterizing them as "grimey," which he chants repeatedly in his rugged tone over the Neptunes' beat. More than 10 years later, the word "grimey" is still used in slang today to describe a conniving person or a "shady" act.(Photo: Thos Robinson/Getty Images)
