I removed this, because I can't tell who the antecedent of "he" and "his" is supposed to be:

"Also took 2004 NBA MVP Kevin Garnett under his wing when Kevin was a rookie straight out of high school. He actually had Kevin live at his Minneapolis mansion."

I removed this:

[edit] Production credits

The list of production credits on the page seemed entirely random -- no criteria for what was included -- and was filled with redlinks, so I removed it. However, I'm pasting it here since it could form the basis of a more useful list (e.g. US Hot 100 #1s produced by Jam and Lewis) with some selective editing, and some tracks mentioned here aren't in the separate article on songs produced by the duo.
