Before we get into this edition of "The quiz", two friendly reminders
a) Please set your Tivo/DVR/VCR for what can potentially be the greatest reality show of all time..."Being Bobby Brown" Thursday June 30th 9pm EST on BRAVO
b) Kimberly Jones (b/k/a Lil' Kim) gets sentenced today (June 24th 2005). Please be sure "Playas Anthem" and "Diamonds" (Which in my opinion are her two greatest flows) get some rotation out of your speakers this weekend.
(Answers to the quiz will be posted next week)
1) How many chapters were there in EPMD's collection of "Jane" sagas?
2) This guy really wants a Gangsta b_____. Oh wait, let me rephrase that b/c that could be anybody. This guy came on the scene in the early 90s with the single "Gangsta ______". Name him.
3) HIP HOP WORD ASSOCIATION: (1 pt each)
Flava Flav is to Chuck D as ___________ is to MC Hammer (I'm sorry, the mere mention of the name MC Hammer brings about a chuckle at minimum. BTW I have a friend from Dallas, TX that can "Mongoose" like no other)
_______ is (was) to Foxxy Brown as Lil' Kim is (was) to Junior M.A.F.I.A.
for 3 point bonus...according to Biggie what did the acronym M.A.F.I.A. stand for?
4) What was unique about the Pharcyde's 1996 video entitled "Drop"?
5) This guy played the legendary Joey Simmons in the movie "Krush Groove"
6) Where did Q-Tip & Phife used to kick routines where the presence was fittin'?
7) The front man of the group Main Source is _________ (BTW am I the only one left that still has hope of his album coming out??)
8) Complete the following line "Eazy...hey Eazy! Why you wear your pants like that??"
9) According to B. Holcomb, he believes this former Real World Season 1 cast member escalated the Biggie/Pac feud via print media. Name this person. (HINT: He was the one MTV constantly portrayed as "angry")
10) Who would Ice Cube prefer to leave the parties to shake your rump to?
Still convinced Timbaland says "ungh" more than Biggie,

Ha ha!! Pretty clever quiz. Will there be more? If so will they contain questions about the other elements of Hip Hop? (i.e. DJing, Bboying, Graff). Remember kiddies, HipHop ain't just emceeing.
Oh yeah, The Krush Groove question was a good one, and I like that you spelled HipHop correctly.
