* [[Put on a Bus]]: Roman Zolanski in the "Moment 4 Life" video intro: "He's off to boarding school, him and [[Eminem|Slim Shady]], they were wreaking havoc over the industry darling..."
** With the imminent release of ''Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'', it seems that [[The Bus Came Back|Roman's bus has come back]].
