Hip Hop Trivia Thread


I think I do remember hearing something about Mos Def and polygamy. Plus he is Islam (not meant in any derogatory way!)

I didn't know he was a Muslim. ;) But yes, there is another Muslim rapper that most people wouldn't suspect. He was really up there in this year's charts.

And yes, he is still married to them.

Alright I'll settle:
Yes, Mos Def is Islamic; He converted to Islam early in his career after influences from Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, who is also a Muslim.

So...he's not of a full-fledged Muslim? Ok, I guess I understand. He was just influenced by Islam, he is not exactly a Muslim.

But anyway, back on topic. Does anybody have an idea as to who this is?

Perhaps he has been attracted to the polygamist part of Islam ?
I admit that is attractive!
No offence to all you Muslims on the board :)

wow I had no idea about the last 2 Qs LOL, eastcoast rap isn't my specialty :p
Another zero point Q.. "Which westcoast rap group has members with the same names as the 2 Mobb Deep rappers?" (slightly different spellings though)
South Central Cartel. I've hated Mobb Deep with passion ever since I've found that out.

Whaaa. I have an old school gfunk vinyl from them...
Hot stuff with the firsts (huge) cell phones on the artwork.
I'm more into east coast things since west coast became too much gangsta' rapping with (my taste) awfull instrumentals. I used to love Gfunk and old school west coast rap.
I didn't know that they were Havoc & Prodeje. That's crazy as they released tracks long time before Mobb Deep.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ISLAM AND POLYGAMY
: There is a limit to how many wives you can have if you're a Muslim man. That limit is 4. And don't think that you can pick any four women randomly. First of all there must be a good reason for you to marry another person. You can't just be tired of your first wife. Second, they must follow either Islam, Christianity, or Judaism. If they are not one of those, they must be converted to Islam first. Lastly, you must treat them all equally. That means if you bought one of them a $1000 dollar necklace, you have to buy one for every other wife. It can be very expensive to have so many wives and that amount grows if you have several children with each of them.

Now, back to the thread
