editThere seems to be some discrepancy in dates. Was the band founded in 1989, like the summary says, or after Spider One dropped out of school in 1990, as according to the later section? 64.95.97.17 (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it was formed in 1991, a year after Spider dropped out. It may have formed earlier, circa 1989—as stated—, but it's pretty unclear. I'm sure it'll be updated once a solid date is found. andre, religious powerman 5000 fan (talk) 14:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah I'd lean towards 1991. Prior to that, it was just Spider and that Lamar Lowder guy who DJ'd. Previous versions of the article mentioned him as an ex band member but he wasn't since that was before PM5K officially started. Xanarki (talk) 16:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yuuup, I agree. It's not (extremely) uncommon for artists to drop albums/form bands while in school, but I'm pretty sure Spider dropped out because of just that.
- Either 1989, 1990 or 1991, it's all pretty much the same.. just a few years differences. It's also not like select artists/producers don't have a set date they started producing music, or really any media in this sense. andre, religious powerman 5000 fan (talk) 16:35, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

I believe Much Evil was actually a solo release by "MC Spider". Band members were added later when Spider was asked to perform a live act. --Ironcladben 04:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
