Biography

The group consists of Damonte "Lil Uno" Johnson , Brandon "Lil B" McCartney, Lloyd "Young L" Omadhebo, Keith "Stunnaman" Jenkins,. The Pack was discovered by the veteran rapper Too Short in 2005. Too Short then signed them to his record label, Up All Nite Records. Originally they went by the Wolfpack, but had to change it due to its use by many companies. Member Stunna was formerly known as Young Stunna, but changed it to simply Stunna or Stunnaman or even Keith. Member Uno was formerly known as Lil Uno, but is now known as Uno.

The song featured a chorus of "Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers; (You) wearing coke whites but my Vans look cleaner." Their video "Vans" has been aired on BET but MTV refused to show the video for content reasons, because they are not allowed to promote consumer products. However, MTV aired an edited version of the video, in which the word "Vans" was censored throughout the song. They chose to play the unedited version on MTV Jams and their other channels. cite web|title=The Pack's "Vans" Banned From MTV.|url=http://musicfilter.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1E13828BC4057369!9028.entry|publisher=Music Filter|date=2007|accessdate=2008-08-24]
