Hip-Hop Trivia

[iMacc]

Saw this tried on another forum and it became massive.

The idea is simple: You answer the question and then you put up your own question and so on and so on.

Here goes...


Guru from Gang Starr's name is an acronym. What is the acronym ?

Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal??

i gotta think of a question now....hmmmm....

[iMacc]

Correct.

Where's your question ?

Here's one:

What does Rakim believe MC stands for ?

[GadgetGuru72]

I don't know iMacc . . . I think that question may be a little too obscure. I knew the one about Gang Starr, but I'm drawing a complete blank on this one.

Did he mention it in a song? I'm trying to think of any songs where he might have said this, but nothing is coming to mind.

We might have to pass on that one and move onto another. ;)

[Hit'EmUp]

Eric B easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed
Cuz to me, MC means move the crowd

-Eric B. is President

that what your gettin at?

Damn, you got it. Good job. I knew it had to be in a song, but I just couldn't think of it.

[iMacc]

Correct. Then you add your question...

[KDUB82]

here is my question:

What group was Coolio before he went solo??

[GadgetGuru72]

If I'm not mistaken, he was with more than one. One was called WC & The Maad Circle. I can't remember what the other one was called.

Is that the one you're thinking of?

Ok, then, here's my question:

Identify the MC whose name is a mispelled variant of the name of a famous seafood mascot.


Disclaimer: I'm not sure if the "famous seafood mascot" is famous outside of the U.S. If this isn't a "fair" question I'll come up with a new one.

this one will take some extensive research :confused:

[GadgetGuru72]

Originally posted by KDUB82

I'll give you a couple of hints: (a) he's not an underground MC, (b) he's in a relatively popular group, (c) they've had 2 major label full CD releases, plus an EP and (d) his name is not in the name of the group -- so, it's not like "Eric B. & Rakim."

Again, if this is too difficult I'll drop it and ask another question. Should I just drop it and think of another one?

[iMacc]

You got me Gadget...

[GadgetGuru72]

Originally posted by iMacc

Alright, since this is iMacc's thread and he and KDUB82 don't seem too happy with my question, I'll drop it and think of another.

The MC I was referring to is:

Chali 2na from Jurassic 5


The "seafood mascot" is Charlie Tuna, the mascot for Starkist:

http://www.starkist.com/


This question was admittedly a little obscure, especially since the Jurassic 5 MC's don't mention their names frequently . . . if at all.


I can't think of any other good questions right now, but I'll be back later with a replacement question.

[iMacc]

Good one Gadget, you certainly got me stumped...I await your next offering

[GadgetGuru72]

On second thought, I'll just throw out an easy one now so that the ball can keep rolling. I'll come up with a harder one for the next time.

So, here's the easy replacement question:

Rakim was supposed to release a CD with Aftermath Records produced by Dr. Dre. Although the CD was never released, what was the title supposed to be?

[KDUB82]

Correct!

I knew that one was going to be easy. So, now you get to post another question.

[KDUB82]

who shot tupac??


just kidding.....

umm.....i found this question on the net and i found it quite entertaining....

Who is Paris Hilton planning to collaborate with on her upcoming album?

Answer: Lil' Jon

here is my real question:

Tupac started his rap career performing with which rap group?

here is my real question:

There's a lot of Tupac fans on this board, so Tupac-related questions are going to be pretty easy.

Here, the trick is what do you mean by "started"?

He technically "started" his rap career with a group called "Strictly Dope." However, I suspect that for the purposes of this question you're referring to Digital Underground.

As for the Paris Hilton thing . . . she's making a CD?? :rolleyes:

[freshest_kid]

^This cat is good...got all bases covered with trick or not trick Tupac question ;)

Not sure for the first, but for the second...

The Magic Number! (3)

How about:

Where did De La's 'Say No Go' get its name from?

-Dan

[Kidtnt27]

Originally posted by Hit'EmUp

The answer would be.......Steely Dan and "Schoolhouse Rock"

[Hit'EmUp]

according to this site http://www.secondhandsongs.com/song/5982.html

it was 3 different songs
son of shaft by the bar-kays
Midnight theme by manzel
and
stilleto by billy joel

[Hit'EmUp]

they sampled school house rock on magic number

[iMacc]

From the sample "I Can't Go For That" by Daryl Hall & John Oates.

[Doug Gilmour]

Originally posted by iMacc

Nope.

Here's a hint: It's related to American Presidential history. It drew its name (not the exact name, but similar) from a domestic reform that the president during De La's time had made.

-Dan

[Hit'EmUp]

the JUST SAY NO program??

[Doug Gilmour]

Originally posted by Hit'EmUp

Indeed. Reagan's (Nancy/Ronald) 'Just Say No' drug reform. I found it interesting when I stumbled upon that as I am a rather large fan of Reagan and what he did.

Next question...?

Originally posted by iMacc

I've actually got 2 questions pending, since I got KDUB82's question about Tupac starting out with Digital Underground correct, but I never posted a follow-up question. ;)

Let me try to come up with 2 quick questions and I'll post them both at the same time.

[GadgetGuru72]

Ok, these are both pretty eazy. ;)

Question #1:

Who is Eazy-E referring to when he says: "You're only 60 pounds when you're wet and wearin' boots"?

Question #2:

What song was the inspiration (i.e., beat, tempo) for Eazy-E's (NWA's) song "Boyz In The Hood"?

[iMacc]

Originally posted by GadgetGuru72

Dr Dre

[GadgetGuru72]

All 3 of the above answers are wrong.

Do I give the correct answers now, or do people keep guessing?

[iMacc]

Answers

[GadgetGuru72]

Question #1:

iMacc was close when he answered Dr. Dre. Most of that song is about Dre, but that particular line is about Snoop.

Question #2:

The inspiration for Boyz In The Hood was Ice-T's "6 N The Morning."


Do I get bonus points because nobody got the answers right? ;)

[iMacc]

I got a bit mixed up. Schoolly D - PSK was the inspiration for Ice-T - 6 N The Morning.

Next question ?

[GadgetGuru72]

I'm having trouble thinking of a really good one, so here's a simple one:

What does U.T.F.O. stand for?

[iMacc]

Untouchable Force Organization

[GadgetGuru72]

Correct.

And your question is . . . .

[iMacc]

A quick one from me then...


Who was Common referring to in his song '' I Used To Love Her '' ?

[GadgetGuru72]

Don't you mean "what is he referring to" . . . although I guess that would have made the question even easier.

He's referring to hip hop -- i.e., he used to love hip hop until commercial success ruined it/her.

[enjoilax]

Whats the best hip-hop video. ever.

[mausolus]

R Kelly - Untitled

[PHiX]

Did people lose interest in this thread? It was kind of fun.

[Hit'EmUp]

Leaders of the new school.

I just thought it was going off in the wrong angle with people asking all random questions.

It's back en route now though, so ask away Rcs476...

[Rcs476]

Easy one... What does KRS-One's name stand for?

Not so easy one... Boogie Down Productions had an album called Edutainment, there was a guest appearance on that album from a person whom later appeared on MTV's "The Real World". Who is that person?

[iMacc]

Originally posted by Rcs476

Originally it was ''Kris Number One''

Now it is ''Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone''





Now a simple two-part question from me...

What was the first film 2Pac appeared in and what year was it ?

[Rcs476]

Was it "Nothing but trouble"? I am not sure of the year.

I know that he was in it with Digital Underground... but I am not sure if it was the first movie he appeared in.

[rooster]

it was nothing but trouble in 1991. that was easy your up rcs476

[rooster]

yup nothing but trouble in 1991. ask away rcs476

[Rcs476]

I'll have to think of one later, kind of busy at work. Anyone else have any for now?

[Kidtnt27]

A tribe Called Quest consist of four members......

1.
2.
3.
4.

A, E, I, O U...and Sometimes Y

Fill in the blanks and tell me what CD is on. If you are really good you can tell me the song that follows....

[Hit'EmUp]

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:bt6ibkr96ak0

errr...........mind telling me wut the hell that has to do with tribe called quest?

[Hit'EmUp]

that song is by some 80s rock group if thats the one ur talking about....and the thread is HIPHOP trivia

anyway, 4 members are
Phife
Q-Tip
Ali Shaheed Muhammed
Jarobi

jarobi left after people's instinctive travels

[GadgetGuru72]

Originally posted by Hit'EmUp

I agree.

Sorry kidtnt27, but I have no idea what you're trying to ask. What does "tell me what CD is on" mean? Hit'EmUp gave you a link to that AEIOU song, but I'm still not entirely clear on what you're trying to ask.

Ignoring the whole AEIOU thing, you appeared to be asking for the names of the people in A Tribe Called Quest. They are:

Q-Tip, DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Jarobi and Phife Dog.

[GadgetGuru72]

Looks like you beat me by a few seconds. ;)

Next question?

[Kidtnt27]

I see we dont have many Tribe fans...or this was just too hard to figure out. ON the Midnight Marauders Album...at the end of the track We Can Get Down....

There is an interlude that says "A Tribe Called Quest consists of four members Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Mohomed, Q-Tip, and Jerobi. A, E, I, O, U and somtimes Y."

The track that follows is Electric Relaxation....I apologize if I asked the question in a confusing manner.

[GadgetGuru72]

Wow, a question about an interlude. ;) Nicely done!

The question was worded in a confusing manner and I didn't understand what you were asking. That having been said, I usually skip past interludes, so I doubt I would have known the answer even if I understood your question.

[Kidtnt27]

Well actually....it isnt a seperate track.......the interlude is the last 20 seconds of the track. So if you fast foward to the end of We Can Get Down...you will hear it.

[iMacc]

Another question then Kidtnt27 ?

[Kidtnt27]

Who which late 80s early 90s group had a hit single......"I'm looking out the front door?"

[Kidtnt27]

Which late 80s early 90s group had a hit single......"I'm looking out the front door?"

[iMacc]

Originally posted by Kidtnt27

Main Source. The song is from the album ''Breaking Atoms''

[Kidtnt27]

Dang man....I can't seem to stump you IMacc.

[iMacc]

Hmmm.....my question is:

What was the first, ALL female MC crew called ?

[rooster]

salt n' peppa?

[pmad]

Yes, but I think it's "Salt-N-Pepa" , I think?

Question: Who is - "tall light-skinned brother with dimples, wearing a black kango, sweatsuit, gold chain, and sneakers"?

[iMacc]

Originally posted by pmad

It's not Salt N Pepa...


Guess again.

[pmad]

Sweet & Sour?

No wait .... It was "MERCEDES LADIES" :) please be right

[iMacc]

Originally posted by pmad

That's right pmad.

Ok then easy question:

[iMacc]

Originally posted by pmad

LL Cool J - ''I'm Bad'' is the song

[pmad]

Your right, I know it was easy, but you can't go wrong with LL :D

[iMacc]

Double parted question now.

Who was the first MC to be signed to a major label and what was the label ?

[pmad]

KURTIS BLOW, MERCURY

Yea- 100 replies to this post

[iMacc]

Originally posted by pmad

Correct. Your go pmad.

[pmad]

Since you're a Tupac fan:
Which R & B singer sung back-up on Tupac's songs 'Can You Get Away' and 'Heavy In The Game'?

[GadgetGuru72]

I'm pretty sure the back-up on Heavy In The Game is sung by Eboni Foster. I have no clue about Can You Get Away, but I'll make "Eboni Foster" my guess anyway.

[Hit'EmUp]

when was the first rap single to go gold released?

[pmad]

Originally posted by GadgetGuru72

You the man Gadget.
Next question is yours.

[GadgetGuru72]

Ok, it's late in the evening, so I'll just give an easy one:

"The Platform" and "Expansion Team" are the names of 2 CDs from which hip-hop group?

----------------------------------------------

That's my real question. Now, however, since this is a trivia thread, I'd like to ask a question that I don't know the answer to. I asked a question earlier about Jurassic 5. So, here's a trivia question:

Why are they called Jurassic 5 when there are 6 of them?

That's a question that I've been curious about for years, but I never found the answer. Anybody know?

[iMacc]

Originally posted by Hit'EmUp

Kurtis Blow - The Breaks

However, you are supposed to get a question right and then ask one of your own so the impetus is with Gadget.

[Hit'EmUp]

i did get one right
that tribe called quest one

[mausolus]

Ok sports-fans, why did Puff Daddy change his Name to P. Diddy?

[swy32x]

Didn't want to have affiliations with Shyne anymore?

Court case had his name tarnished?

Didn't want his name associated with JLo anymore?

[mausolus]

Haha I dunno I was hpoing someone would tell me, but those reason sound good.

[pmad]

I think we are still with Gadget- :confused:

Question 1: Dilated Peoples

Question 2: Jurassic 5 is actually made up of two crews that came together: Unity Committee [Chali 2NA, Marc 7, and Cut Chemist] and Rebels of Rhythm [Akil and Zaakir (Soup)] thus 5 original members.
DJ Nu-Mark came later.

Let me know if I'm correct & I'll ask the next question.

[GadgetGuru72]

pmad-

Dilated Peoples is correct. So, you get the next question.

As for Jurassic 5, sounds good to me. Like I said, I didn't know the answer. Except, wasn't DJ Nu Mark on the Jurassic 5 EP, which is the first thing they released. Since their first CD contained 6 people, I always thought it was odd that they were called Jurassic 5.

[pmad]

Who is the " Microphone fiend"?

[Hit'EmUp]

rakim.

[pmad]

Bingo - Your up Hit'EmUp :)

[Hit'EmUp]

DAM! i gotta quit answering i can't think of any good questions
give u guys one later someone else post one for now

[Hit'EmUp]

i got one

when was the first time the source gave 5 mics to an album by an artist who was not black? when was the last time?

[GadgetGuru72]

Originally posted by Hit'EmUp

First: Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill (1986)

Last: No idea, sorry.

Do I get 1/2 credit?

[Hit'EmUp]

beastie boys were the first and last soo far

[GadgetGuru72]

Oh, so does that count as a whole correct answer even though I technically didn't know the second part? ;)

[Hit'EmUp]

yeah
go ahead and ask somethin im out of questions

[iMacc]

I hope this thread doesn't die a death. It's got potential.

[GadgetGuru72]

No, it hasn't died. I'm just swamped at the office today and haven't been able to think of a good question. Give me another 30 minutes and I'll come up with something . . . even if it has to be another easy one.

[iMacc]

4 hours later.....;)

[GadgetGuru72]

Oops, sorry about that. I've been getting buried today at work.

Ok, just to get the ball rolling again, I'll throw out a simple one:

Name any 3 of Jay-Z's aliases.

It doesn't get any easier than that. ;)

[GadgetGuru72]

Well, MF Doom is the obvious one.

Less obvious:

Zev Love X
King Geedorah

and, for bonus points . . . Viktor Vaughn.

And for the next question . . . as provided by enjoilax:

Q: "Kool Moe Dee gave the best rappers of his time a report card. What area of Hip-hop did the beastie boys do best in? Bonus points for their overall grade, their position in the list of rappers and what song this is mentioned on."

Clarification on the question: Jay-Z did something similar and basically said rappers need to have style, vocabulary, and other things.

[Kidtnt27]

Kool Moe Dee gave LL Cool J a bad grade. This was probably one of the first rap beefs of its time. Needless to say....LL squashed it after he released Moma Said Knock you out.

Q: "Kool Moe Dee gave the best rappers of his time a report card. What area of Hip-hop did the beastie boys do best in? Bonus points for their overall grade, their position in the list of rappers and what song this is mentioned on."

Area they did best in = Sticking To Themes (10)

Overall grade = C (70)

Song this is mentioned on = Intergalactic

Is that enough to constitute a correct answer ?

Nope, these guys are not popular at all and are relatively unknown.

Their albums with Pete Rock were actually proclaimed "lost".

~HaY gUyZ wUd Up?/? ~_^ ~

C'mon at least make your question readable, i mean is it really that hard to type correctly, and not like a semi mentally deficent rodent?

Somebody called him "The God MC" so he added "J-Hova" (Jehovah) to his nickname, but i think that was offensive to jewish/christian people or people got lazy and called him Hova.

AHHH BOO YA.

(if i got this right: Who were the 2 people who founded Def Jam records and where did it start?)

Nice one Snowy :D !

Take your go...

[swy32x]

Alright!

In how many minutes did Jay-Z sell out the Madison Square Gardens for his Fade To Black concert?

[GadgetGuru72]

I remember reading it was "less than 2 hours." However, since your question asks how many minutes, I have a feeling I'm wrong.

To conform my answer to the way your quesiton is asked, I'll say "less than 120 minutes."

[swy32x]

Haha, but no, not what I'm looking for.

Anybody else?

[GadgetGuru72]

Snowy- I did a Google search to try to narrow down my answer, but the first 2 articles I read both said "in less than 2 hours." You must have access to insider information. ;)

[swy32x]

Nope, I just have the Fade To Black DVD ... so yes, I guess inside information it is!

It was four minutes.

Does this mean I get another go?

[GadgetGuru72]

Sure, although I suspect 4 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration. Who stated that it was 4 minutes in the DVD? Jay-Z or a reporter?

Anyway, good question. What's the next one?

[iMacc]

4 Minutes ?!?!?

Wow !

Another go Snowy...

[swy32x]

Ya, 4 minutes, its what Diddy said, and its mentioned in the DVD, the trailer, and the special featurette, so I doubt its false if they plugged it that much.

Ok.

An easier one.

Name 3 Hip-Hop superstars that have been shot and killed.

I don't have an answer or a question, but wanted to let everybody know that my wife and I leave today for a 2-week vacation to France. So, my contributions to this and all other threads will be "on hold" until I return.

Until then ... happy hip-hopping. ;)

[GadgetGuru72]

Wow, I leave for a vacation and this thread dies a horrible death. :) Just kidding.

Anyway, I guess we've all run out of good questions.

[Angelraine]

[swy32x]

During the Jay-Z / Nas beef who made the comparison between the two as characters from Scarface?

Who made the reference, and which characters did he relate each of them too?

Sorry if that is hard to interpret, it was hard to write without referring to either of the two rappers.

[synical33]

"I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo
It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo"

This was Nas' interpretation of the ordeal

Now for my question:

What was the name of the duo project that Talib Kweli pulled off in '98? Also who was his partner in crime?

Blackstar - Mos Def, if not that then you are referring to Reflection Eternal with Hi-Tek.

What was rapping over a beat called before it was called "rap"? There are 2 possible answers to this.

[Alpo]

Karrin "Supahead" Steffans Was Once Married To Rap Legend "___________"
