how hip-hop are you? (part 3 now added)

[Philaflava]

this is hip-hop, not world events, isn't it all trivial shit?

[Piff Tannen]

this quiz was much harder than the first one cuz

5/20

i guessed and had to use context clues for the ones i got. and i dont even know which ones i got right aside from company flow

[mike eagle]

10

this is hip-hop, not world events, isn't it all trivial shit?

Part of it is the "are you hip-hop" framing, which kinda implies more essential knowledge than random facts. I mean I know I'm not hip-hop, but it's not for want of knowing the z-list members of the Roots crew and novelty tracks from the mid 90s.

[Sylissez]

I got 10/20 on the 2nd, 7 on the first.

Hold up, you thought Peedi Crakk was in The Roots?


PEACE

there is nothing essential about hip-hop knowledge. either you have it or you don't. your scores kinda justify your opinions on the music.

Name all the members of Two-Illeven. Who was their producer?

Name all the members of Closed Caption. Who produced the majority of their albums?

It's all silly. But have fun with it!

10/20 on part 2 and i was definitely guessing on some stuff, like I figured Griffey would rap with a Seattle rapper that wasn't Mix-A-Lot.

[blastmaster]

10. Good stuff

[hellriser]

masta killa rank

[seagrams hotsauce]

11/20.
that supastition one was the easiest one to guess right.

I guessed Kellerman on the ESPN one off title alone, even though I thought he was a red herring. Turns out getting punched in the head for a living doesn't do one's penchant for puns any favors.

[dubs]

Some of the comments when youre wrong are funny.

8/20

Ranking: wicked is smh'ing

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

Scored an 11/20 on the second round surprisingly, but I guessed on several. Second round was much harder.

[WiCkEd22]

Part 1: I got 14/20. Phife Dawg.

The ones I got wrong...

#8, I had no clue which NBA player never attempted to Rap.
#10, I said 75 Ark was the indie label that put out Dr. Octogan, but it was Bulk.
#12, I said Ras Kass & Coolio never collaborated, but they have twice.
#13, I said Cappadonna was not on Supreme Clientele.
#16, I said Kam & Erick Sermon had never collaborated, but they have twice.
#17, I had no clue who on ESPN had a 12-inch deal back in '94.


Part 2: I got 15/20. Phife Dawg.

The ones I got wrong...

#8, I said Del dropped the joint about video games, but it was Saafir.
#10, I had no clue what rappers were featured on the Eightball & MJG joint.
#11, I didn't know Pras produced a joint for Redman on Muddy Waters.
#12, I said Killah Priest was not on the Gravediggaz album, but it was Trugoy/Dove of De La Soul.
#19, I said Lord Sear first appeared on the Pete Nice & Daddy Rich album in '93, but it was Cage.

[Verge]

Got 12/20 and 11/20
Really enjoying these though, props phila and co.

[Blockhead]

Wicked, you not a big Wu-tang guy? It seems like the Wu related questions gave you some trouble.

[WiCkEd22]

Wicked, you not a big Wu-tang guy? It seems like the Wu related questions gave you some trouble.

I love Wu-Tang (more in the 90s and less in the 2000s), but there's 9 of them so sometimes shit get's mixed up. *shrugs*

Speaking of, they were on The Daily Show with John Stewart the other night... all 9 of them!

[Philaflava]

Well if there is one thing the tests prove, is that Wicked isn't as hip-hop you think. In fact, some of you are fucking Grandmaster Flash to his DJ Scratch.

LOL every time I do one of these I think that each time is going better than the last while I am doing it but I still end up flopping
6/15

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

You sure Al produced Stanley Kubrick?

[Blockhead]

10/15 I fucked up a few I shoulda known though like the xzibit and T-ray question.

[Dan]

8/15. My worst score of the 3.

[Philaflava]

You know what? I fucked up because I meant I'm The King (Royce) which is the same beat and was done by ALC. Fixed now.

[Piff Tannen]

7/15 and no clue what i got right

EDIT: looking at what i got right now. the only ones i knew convincingly were the el-p/slug lack of beef, that the fresh prince and jazzy jeff got the first rap grammy and apathy is not from philly

[step one]

9/15 - Big Shug
