The Hip Hop Quiz

Superhead it is! I can't remember her real name either, it was the nickname I was after...

what was the name of the black eyed peas first album?

they had one under another name early 90's, but first(and only decent) one was Behind the Front i think


Joints and Jams is cool as fk

Yeah that track was a really lively one! Awesome. Man they were they pretty good until Fergie came along and they decided on the pop sound...

Macy Gray killed them imo.

behind the front was the one i was after

awesome album... its all about that hidden down tempo track at the end...

I don't know why, but your avatar is hilarious.

Name ummmm 3 MC's Jay Z has had a beef with

Know he had problems with the Dipset dudes, not exactly sure who. Then of course there's Nas. Umm had a little problem with LL didn't he?

(also would've accepted Prodigy from Mobb Deep who who totally smoked)

agreed

hurry up fag

Sorry hun, wasn't at work yesterday.

Name the MC's involved in the D&D Allstars joint "1,2, Pass It".

fk good question. Umm produced by Preemo with Krs, Dog E Fresh, Smif N Wessun, one of the rasta dudes from back then(Ill say Mad Lion but unsure) i know theres a couple more but unsure

All correct. 2 to go and I know you know them both very well.

clue thanks

I would give you one but it would 99.9% give it away

btw that was a clue for one of them

hardly a raging a clue

He was in Adelaide recently

oh, Jeru?

Yep, one to go.

Probably the most commercially known of the lot.

yeah no idea

More recently, he has featured with "talented" artists such as Lil Wayne...

lol so went from preemo and krs to little wayne?

Has to be Joey Crack

Sadly you are correct.

he was real good. Wtf happened!?

Lol yeah right, I always get those r&b aka fags confused. Only reason I even know Jodeci is cos of track featuring ghost & rae.


And yes, he was 15 (fkn nutter)

prince once proclaimed which MC as the most talented person he's ever worked with?

Probably Prince referring to himself in the 3rd person.

 

lol don't think even the great man himself would consider himself an MC though

Only Prince song I can even remember with rapping in it is Cream I think. Be buggered if I know who it was though.

trying to think of a clue ummmm

he's from Brooklyn

Oh I see, well that certainly narrows it down.

I got nothin.

Either him or Jay-Z

Jay Z it is

"Drink Listerine, brush my teeth with amphetamine
So I can sound fresh and say dope things in between"

Yep

Track name and version? Cookie if you can tell me who produced it too.

yeah fkt if i can remember that

Necro did a song with which Serial Killer

Talking about Chopper Read or Charlie Manson? (I take it Charlie Manson...)

Pretty sure I have this correct, and seeing as I'm about to head to work I don't wanna leave any motherfucka hanging for 10 hours for the next question so...
The lead singer of Coldplay shares his name with which reknowned beatmaker? And obviously you must give said producer's 'industry' name, not his real one. If you're sure you are correct, or can get someone to google it for ya, then take the next question away, as I won't be able to confirm correct answers until about 11pm tonight.

Soul On Ice remix / Diamond D


Reckon it might be Premo actually

no fkn idea.

It is indeed DJ Premier. Or as his mother referred to him as, Chris Martin.

Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz

Now the thinking game begins.

yer those 2 are the easy ones:)

Think one of the others is something D's, but I'm really strugglin with this one. Think I'm out.

 Surely one of them is Buck something or named after a gun

Reckon you're thinkin of Buckshot from Black Moon/Boot Camp Clik.

Is the D's one I was tryin to think of yesterday Big D's?

yup (Big DS)

That's definitely what it should have been.

 Who was the first non Wu-Tang member to appear on a Wu-Tang track?

 

Ahh good one. Remember reading who this was but the names slipped my mind at the moment. Thinking it's a pretty big name too.

thats a great question.

I'm gonna take a guess at Nas on Rae's album

awesome track too

Reckon you're right (as per usual)

through the lights cameras and action glamour glitters and gold i unfold the scroll....



dope ish from Nas

 Quazz is right.

 For a bonus point you could have mentioned that Khem had that verse stuck onto his diary in year 12.

One of my faves from Nas actually.

hahahaha

1 out of 3 wasn't it?

yer i woulda also accepted 0 as even he was more a Jason Kidd type

Lol yup, just had a look on wiki and it's actually 0, so ask another question. There were 4 white kids and one Puerto Rican. Interestingly enough they had the backing of Public Enemy and were signed to their producers label.

Also lol'ing at the fact that nearly every picture of them taken seems to be in black and white.

stryzzle?

 Not strictly hip hop, but who directed the movie, Friday?

 

 

Was going to say Ice Cube, but I think he just wrote it.

If it's not him then no idea to be honest.

 Cube wrote it. Was directed by someone else.

DJ Pooh.

Which comedian released two albums, in collaboration with Prince Paul, entitled Roll With The New and Bigger and Blacker?

I don't think DJ Pooh directed it either. Again I think he just co-wrote and acted in it.

 It wasnt DJ Pooh.

 

Fuck, sorry guys. 

F Gary Gray wasn't it?

 Thats the one.

It's alright mate, just don't let it happen again or there will be trouble!

name me ummmmm let's say 2 film clips he directed

 I was about to google F Gary Gray this morning to find out that exact thing ( what clips he  has directed) so i could use it as clues for my question but my boss interrupted me.

Q-Bert?

narp

i woulda said Mix Master Mike, but they won it together lol

(for the record no idea if he's of Asian descent)

Nope

And neither Q-bert or Mix Master Mike are considered to be of asian, both have Filipino heritage.

It is way more recent than either of those two as well.

the Philippines is in South East Asia though

Kid Koala?
A-Track?

Kentaro's pretty Asian

That's the one I was looking for.

(though I'll pay just 1 more)

Did u know KRS nearly joined UM? (Ced G produced most of Criminal Minded) Woulda been a fair line up

Didn't know that actually, woulda been dope!

Still can't remember the others

It's his verse on Live at the BBQ by Main Source, big tune!

 Young Gee sweezy is up.

Thank you comrade.

Can't be bothered thinking of a crazy obscure fact, so instead I pose the question:

According to J-Ro, where is the safest place to have sex?

in the mouth?

I'll go with ass


(but i have no idea)

Both excellent choices, but not what J-Ro recommends.

It's one of my favouraite Alkaholiks lines, from the song The Next Level.

tit fuck

(yeah still no idea lol)

Correct!

"I got biddies in all the major cities, that safest way to have sex is right between the titties!"

hahaha well there ya go

complete this J Ro line (from my fave Liks song)

I get drunk and i stumble to the phone.......

and conjure up a bitcxh tp bone whe  im alone.

What was the name of the Fu Schnickens track Shaq guest "mc'd" on?

someone has to know this. The Fu's were awesome!

 Whats Up Doc?

 

yupyup

where Shaq drops the classic "forget tony danza Im da boss"

no comment lol

lol hater

Indeed

Wasn't that actually a Shaq tune that they guested on, off Shaq's Diesel album? I got a little confused by the semantics of the question cos I thought it was What's Up Doc...ah well. I quite like that tune tbh, Shoot Pass Slam was cool back in the day too...I guess I watched one too many early 90's basketball compilation videos hey? 

dunno why - lots of my mates liked it, never did a lot for me ..
a true fushnic was always good at a party

i have it at home on 12" as a Fu Schnickens single and it was the last track on their album too

(but yer, it was on shaqs album as well)

Ah sneaky. Nice bit of cross promotion happening for them there I'm sure they were trying to ride Shaq's coat tails a little for some extra sales!

more importantly when is stryke gonna ask the next question

lol yer see that even me and headache can't answer

 

 Name the two founders of Swollen Members

Staen 1 is who I was after.
Is it unofficial?  Everytime I've seen Ben (on the mic) Staen has been his deejay and I think he provides at some of the cuts on the second story.  However thats all I know.  Either way its all yours b

staen/staen 1, same ish


before tiye phoenix got the spot, who was the female mc in polyrhythm addicts?

Haha I mentioned this in the hip hop thread yesterday

Apani B

Actually you should check my post in there and add anyone I missed. You've probly heard of her already, but check Heather B with MOP. She's real good!

ha, posted that before i read ache's post in the hip hop thread.... what a coincidence.... (and was writing this as you were replying)

well, answer that, but here's one that isnt made blatently obvious by another post....

Stab in the dark...Chris Cunningham?

Maybe Hype Williams?

Hype it was!

Cool!

That came to me at the last minute too!


Give me 3 guys who were in the Terror Squad when it was first formed?

TS... fat joe, pun & cuban link i believe....

im 50/50 on the cuban link part though

pretty sure he was

Think Joe started it on his own as a label before it became a group.

Peeps on the first album were Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link, Triple Seis (sick voice), Prospect and Armageddon. So looks like B is up!

who started duck down records?

Hmm, not exactly sure on this one, but probably Buckshot/Black Moon.

Thumbs up b for the win and headache for all the details haha, I was away from the net yesterday...

buckshot and someone else...

One of the smif n wessun lads?

Evil D?

man. Nobody says nothing better than Sean P. Makes whole tracks bout sweet fuck all sound dope

Who is Sean Prices homeboy?

the rockness monster (rock)

unless i am just being naive by thinking this makes them homeboys haha

Well that is probably the correct answer, so you can have it, but it wasn't what I was after haha.

lol
xenu is my home boy shirt is pretty funny too

hahahah word... i had the mary is my homegirl tee shirt... loved it til 100,00 people started wearing it... people ruin everything!

um, ok, which ex-member of atmosphere released an album called 'the present'?

Hmmm, was it that Spor guy? Actually I dont think his name is Spor, that's a dnb producer. Something close to Spor?

lol... spawn, or 'rek the heavyweight', not to be confused with reks...

close enough, go ahead!

Oh what? I didn't even realise they were the same person (as in Spawn/Heavyweight). Must check some of his stuff.

East Coast Avengers cosists of 3 people. Who are they?

Eso, Trademarc and a name that escapes me

Been the first time I've known the answer to a hip hop thread question in a longggg fuckin time bro laugh

Aight,

What rapper featured on the remix to KMD's - What a Niggy Know?

Hmmm. Was he black?
Nah, it's MF Grimm. Big fan of his, especially 'The Hunt For The Gingerbread Man'. Amazing album.
I'm 100% sure I'm right, please correct me if I'm wrong, Mr Thief.

Which Aussie producer contributed a beat for 'The Hunt For The Gingerbread Man' and has also remixed Celph Titled and Lyrical Commision on the same track?

Nah man you got it Smiley Grimms sick hey? Will have to check that Gingerbread album!

Well that entire album was pretty much Australian produced (also released on an Australian lable), but as for the Celph and LC thing I'd have to go with Prowla.

RIP Shogun

Shogun is dead? Wtf?

yeah man, Shogun folded last year. Spewing because Words and I were about to get into talks with them.

Yeah, Headache. You gots it. And  for Shogun. They had some really solid releases over the last coupla years.

Khemoflange?

why did ma$e drop out of the rap game?

He found God and became an ordained minister I reckon. He possibly opened his own Christian offshoot ministry but I'm not 100%.
