haha… Rakim is the man and Chuck D is nice too… This is cool, glad to see there are still come folks that have love for old school hip-hop. What about EPMD, Biz Markie, Too Short, MC Lyte? There aren’t too many to name… Cool post… Canned Tomatoes, that’s a lot of a ketchup…

hey there. alright when i am not busy posting about health and fitness i am scouring through my music collection. i am an avid hip hopper, and so this “test” has proven to be very fun. anyways, the missing answer for picture #2 is Father MC!! While he was a hip hopper he definitely could be considered a New Jack Swinger. so, his addition in this quiz is a bit suspect.

word to ya mutha!

@ray – thanks for mentioning this post. it was fun creating it.
@taylor – i will for sure keep coming by! and thanks for passing the torch of the rockin girl blogger. i feel so flattered… do i need to make a speech? and will the thing fit in my car??
*ahem* is this thing on?!
@raz – nope, not al b. sure, but lyndon and maki were really close, if you wanna take another guess
@jeff – you can always catch up by learning your old school class is officially in session
@viva – yep, that one is tupac. he was a cute kid
@maki – that’s pretty cool. i didn’t know who minor threat was. i thought it was merely ironic social commentary thanks for letting me know!

thanks cheynne. appreciate the sentiments. i wanted to post more but it’s really hard to find good pics of old school artists. plus i didn’t wanna post pics of obscure/underground artists that would be really hard to guess (poor righteous teachers, etc). this post took me forever! LOL

hmm, lyndon, i’m surprised both you and maki guessed #3 is Eric B. nope. but you’re close! and #2 isn’t big daddy kane, but you’re close on that one too. i almost posted a pic of BDK but figured someone would guess is right away. ahahahaha….i guess i’m goooooood

on a side note, if you wanna hear some really good hip hop, check out Quannum records. they got dj shadow, blackalicious, and latyrx.
