Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Bass! How low can you go? Death row what a brother knows. Once again, back is the incredible. The rhyme animal. The incredible D." From which incredible track do these lyrics come?

Answer: "Bring the Noise" - Public Enemy

OK, Public Enemy's album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" was actually released in 1988. It did rewrite the rulebook and pushed hip hop, violently, into the future.
2. "Greetings girl and welcome to my world of phrase. I'm right up to bat. It's a Daisy Age and you're about to walk top stage. So wipe your Lottos on the mat. Hip hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz your involvements before the sun. But clear your court 'cause this is a one man sport. And who's better for this than ..." What lyrics are these?

Answer: "Eye Know" - De La Soul

The words "Daisy Age" were a dead giveaway that these lyrics were written by De La Soul. Their positive attitude and quasi-psychedelia ushered in the so-called "daisy age", which everyone else described as hippie-hop. The band responded with the track "Ain't Hip to be Labelled a Hippie", which appeared on the "Me Myself & I" 12".
3. "Come on! Jump up freak a hustle. Do what you want but move every muscle. Ain't no time for playing around. Only one thing to do when you hear this sound. Act yourself with someone else. And make sure yourself ain't by yourself." Who wrote this instigation to parteee?

Answer: "What U Waitin' 4?" - Jungle Brothers

The Jungle Brothers were founder members of the Native Tongues posse, that tried to infuse hiphop with a healthy dose of positive vibrations. They were opposed to the glorification of overtly violent and sexual imagery, but not without reporting about life in the streets in a realistic way. Members of the posse were, among others, Afrika Bambaataa, Queen Latifah, and later Prince Paul, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.

In the early 90s, bands like Black Sheep, Common, Black Star, Da Bush Babees and the Leaders of the New School joined.

The artists often collaborated on each other's records, the Jungle Brothers' "Doin' Our Own Dang" 12" (1990) being a good example.
4. "Anyway a gas station we passed. We got gas and went on to get grub. It was a nice little pub in the middle of nowhere. Anywhere would have been better. I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em. Ali had the fruit punch. When we finished we thought for ways to get back. I had a hunch. Ali said, "Pay for lunch". So I did it." What happened next?

Answer: "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" - A Tribe Called Quest

Although "El Segundo" was one of the better tracks on their debut album "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" (1990) the single didn't really take off, until Norman Cook did a remix, which is still a dancefloor classic. Who's Norman Cook? These days he's also known as Fatboy Slim.
5. "Aa'it stop whatcha doin' cause I'm about to ruin the image and the style that ya used to. I look funny, but yo I'm makin' money so listen up world I hope you're ready for me. Now gather round, I'm the new fool in town and my sound's laid down by tha ... I drink up all the Hennessee ya got on ya shelf so just let me introduce myself. My name is ..." What's his name then? Who's laying the sounds down? What track is this?

Answer: "The Humpty Dance" - Digital Underground

These days Digital Underground are mostly remembered for the fact that one Tupac Shakur used to be their dancer. But their records are well worth checking out. Rapper Shock-G's alter ego, the big nosed Humpty Hump, is ridiculously fun.
6. "Oh what the heck let's get married and have a son named Erick. No big deal no sweat. Hmmm I was in for a big surprise. And when I saw the judge hammer pass my green eyes. Brainlocked my whole damn head was malfunctional. Cause I forgot to co-sign a prenuptial agreement." What lyrics are these?

Answer: "Gold Digger" - EPMD

EPMD's Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith had better tracks than this un-PC cautionary tale, but "Gold Digger" is probably their best known. EPMD is short for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars". All their album titles had the word 'business' in them: "Strictly Business" (1988), "Unfinished Business" (1989) etc. Their final album was called "Out of Business" (1999).
7. "Well here's how it started. Heard you on the radio. Talkin' 'bout rap. Sayin' all that crap about how we sample. Given examples. Think we'll let you get away with that? You criticize our method of how we make records. You said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart. Stop, check it out my man. This is the music of a hip-hop band." Who's telling it like it is?

Answer: "Talkin' All That Jazz" - Stetsasonic

Stetsasonic DJ Prince Paul (aka. Paul Huston) became a very in-demand record producer after he produced De La Soul's debut album "3 Feet High and Rising" (1989). Later he formed the band Gravediggaz with Stetsasonic member Frukwan and Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA.

Although Gravediggaz are still going, neither Prince Paul nor RZA are members anymore. In 1999 Prince Paul formed Handsome Boy Modelling School with another famous producer: Dan "The Automator" Nakamura (cfr. Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz, Lovage ...).
8. "I'm expressin' with my full capabilities. And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities. Cause some don't agree with how I do this. I get straight, meditate like a Buddhist. I'm droppin' flava, my behaviour is heriditary. But my technique is very necessary." What time is it exactly?

Answer: "Express Yourself" - NWA

NWA had quite a few better known songs than this 1989 single, but I don't think I can use any quotes of those songs on the Funtrivia website. Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and DJ Yella had quite a loud pottymouth on them, dig.
9. "You really make me sick with ya fraudulent behavior. You're gonna make me flip and then an army couldn't save ya. Why don't you behave ya little rugrat. Take a little tip from the tabloid. Because I know I'm not paranoid. When I say I saw ya tryin' to mock me. Now you and your crew are on a mission tryin' to hawk me. But it isn't happenin' ya fraudulent foes. You used to front big time now I suppose that everything's cool since the style of apparel you adopted. You used to make fun of but now you wanna rock it." Who's on the receiving end of this verbal outburst?

Answer: "Mistadobalina" - Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

Del tha Funkee Homosapien (aka. Teren Delvon Jones) - or Del! as he's now known - is actually rapper Ice Cube's cousin. But their sound couldn't be more different, although he liked to sample Parliament/Funkadelic almost as much as his cousin. The difference lies mostly in the content of their lyrics.

While Cube likes to spout macho gnarly street life verse, his cousin is way more inclined to make funny little observations and frankly absurd lyrics.
10. "Now in my younger days I used to sport as shag. When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag. With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss. Always got mad when the class was dismissed. But when it was in session, I always had a question. I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and help me with my problem, it was never much. Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch. Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug." Who's being a teacher's pet?

Answer: "Passin Me By" - the Pharcyde

The Pharcyde's debut album "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde" (1992) is probably one of the funniest records ever. "Ya Mama" fe. is an hilarious take on the playground habit of abusing one another's mothers to start a fight. The lyrics include stuff like "Ya mama's got an afro, with a chin strap" and best of all "Ya mama got a glass eye with the fish in it". Brilliant!
