Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which producer sings the chorus on Nas's "The World Is Yours"?

Answer: Pete Rock

Pete Rock also produced this track. He reluctantly sang the chorus at the insistence of Nas.

2. Who performs the female rap verse on The Roots' "You Got Me"?

Answer: Eve

Erykah Badu sings the chorus of this song. Many people think it is her on the verse, but it is actually Eve. The song came out slightly before Eve blew up. She isn't credited in the video.

3. Which of the following rappers' names is not preceded by the word "Big"?

Answer: Rakaa

Big L was a promising young rapper who died before releasing his solo debut. He recorded with Diggin' in the Crates and had a hit with "Ebonics". Big Pun died at the height of his career. Big Gipp is still standing in the Goodie Mob. Rakaa is an MC from Dilated Peoples.

4. Who is not a member of the Dungeon family?

Answer: Deacon the Villain

Deacon the Villain is a member of an excellent southern underground group called Cunninlynguists. Andre 3000 is, of course, one-half of Outkast and a member of the Dungeon Family. Big Rube is the guy who does spoken word on many DF albums, such as "southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" and "Outkast Pronounced Outkast". Rico Wade is an obscure member of the DF.

He is featured on the album "Even in Darkness".

5. Which of the following is not an alias of a member of the Wu-Tang Clan?

Answer: Funk Doc

Funk Doc is Redman. Even though he rhymes with Method Man he is not a member of the Wu. A lot of people thought that he was after the "Blackout" album, which was strange to me because it sounds more Def Squad than Wu-Tang. Ticallion Stallion is Method Man. Lex Diamonds is Raekwon. Golden Arms is U-God.

6. Which of these songs was not produced by DJ Premier?

Answer: "Ms. Fat Booty" - Mos Def

"Ms. Fat Booty" was produced by Ayatollah. DJ Premier produced "Mathematics" on Mos Def's album.

7. Who coined the term "Dirty South"?

Answer: Cool Breeze

Yep, little-known Cool Breeze said it first. He is featured on the Goodie Mob song "Dirty South", which popularized the term.

8. Who is not featured on Biggie's album "Life After Death"?

Answer: Method Man

Method Man was on Biggie's first album and posthumously released third album, but not on "Life After Death". Jay-Z is on "I Love the Dough". Too Short is on "The World is Filled...". DMC is featured on "My Downfall".

9. What classic rock song is sampled on Nine's "Lyin' King"?

Answer: "Old Fashioned Love Song" - Three Dog Night

This is admittedly a difficult question. Nine was a really underrated lyricist. I wonder what he is doing today? "Five to One" was sampled on Jay-Z's "Takeover", Puff Daddy sampled "Kashmir", and I always thought "All of My Love" would work in a rap song, but it has not been sampled, as far as I know.

10. Which of these is not a duo?

Answer: D. Nice and Smoothe Da Hustler

Psycho Les and JuJu are the Beatnuts. M-1 and stic.man are dead prez. Tek and Steele are the Cocoa Brovaz, formerly Smif-N-Wessun. There is a duo called Nice and Smooth, but it doesn't consist of D. Nice and Smoothe Da Hustler.
