Questions I didn't answer correctly:

6. Which of the following was not produced by Q-Tip?

8. There has been a laundry list of NBA stars who have attempted a rap career such as Kobe, A.I., Shaq, The Glove, Rahsheed Wallace, C-Webb, Ron Artest and Cedric Ceballos. Which of these stars has not attempted shaming themselves?

10. Which indie label put out the Kool Keith/Automator collabo "Dr. Octagon (Octagonecologyst)" in 1996 prior to Dreamworks re-releasing a year later?

12. How many times has Ras Kass and Coolio collaborated together?

13. This Wu rapper did not appear on the classic album "Supreme Clintele" by Ghostface Killah.

19. This North Carolina rapper started out with 7 Years of Bad Luck.

20. Which track was not produced by Pete Rock?

[Philaflava]

The question about basketball, Badu, maybe Ras Kass and Coolio I wouldn't expect all to get but the Q-Tip/Pete Rock questions I thought were gimmies.

[jredd109]

didn't coolio do the chorus for 'miami life' on soul on ice, so i guess that makes it three, right?

[Philaflava]

don't be that guy

Had lucky guess with Wu's co-production credits (didn't knew that there was co-producers, lol... u killin' me with production credits) and MF Doom (I think I only heard one song from him... not my type of rap).

Props on the 8Ball & MJG question... love that song/album! More gangsta/west/south shit next time, please,

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.

I was pretty disappointed to get only 12 and 11.

I could swear Ras was on two different Coolio albums. One was "Get Up Get Down" or something besides the 2 collabs listed. Quick check on discogs confirms he was on Get Up Get Down from Gangstas Paradise and Hit Em from My Soul. So 3

[Soren]

You are right, Coolio and Ras Kass have shared the mic on 3 tracks! Actually Ras is also credited on the track My Soul (from My Soul) where he got some background vocals.

I wasn't sure about the Long island question, but I'm pretty sure I've read a different story in a DE La interview that's why i went with PE. from what I remember De La or 2 of the 3 met at a house party or something. but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. fun quiz
