clue: He and his boyz would like me to ask, "who's the king?" Unfortunately out on the east side, they're stuck asking "WHAT?"

trivia: This goo has the historical distinction of being the first based on a source photograph taken by one of the players: Erik Bates snapped this photo of Lil Jon at an airport in Atlanta, and asked to turn it into a goo to stump players who rely too much on Google Image Search. Erik wrote the clue and the explanation.
