I couldn't remember his name so i looked on Google but won't post it here.

dj cash money and dj jazzy jeff made the transformer scratch iirc

Grand Wizard Theodore is credited with inventing scratching.

Wow, a tie with 4 people. Ask away DCGM!

This rapper or rap group predicted his/her/their success on the charts with this famous single from his/her/their 4th album.

 

[virusx]

This one is pretty hard. It could be any ego-tripping rapper
NAS ?

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Nope. It is rather hard, so here's a hint: The single samples a VERY well-known movie theme song

 

[Nova]

Kanye West, with "Impossible"?

I remember reading about him speaking about the song with a way over inflated ego...

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

You know nova, you should probably read the questions better

Kanye always has a huge ego. He even thought "Touch the Sky" should have won best video because it "cost a million dollars and had pam anderson in it"

haha

 

[Nova]

Tbh, I just guessed, cos I know he sampled the M:I theme in the song.

I'm too white for these questions...

 

[virusx]

p.diddy?

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Nope. But as a side note (unrelated), I was watching rap videos on demand when I came across this gem that I'd not previously heard.

It really is Classic . Great line-up, although I reckon Kanye doesnt deserve to be up there with the rest...

You really need to give a better hint than your previous one.

BTW, if you like KRS, here's a new song by him and Marley Marl: LINK

It's really well-written, but it is not as "entertaining" as other current rap songs...

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Alright then. The Movies I am referring to are parodies (sort of) of another famous movie series.

2 points to whoever gets it right now!

edit: good looks on that krs joint, I like it. What I like even more are the comments about "dj unk" and "mims" as well as the others. I hate these no-talent cunts. Living in the blasted south, it's all I hear. I fucking heard "party like a rockstar" every time i flipped to the rap stations in my car. I have to listen to classic rock now because all I hear are southern losers with no talent who exploit this art form.

It's disgusting. Why do people acknowledge this as music?

 

[virusx]

I know... Ludacris with the Austin Power's sample?!

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

gotta name the single...

 

[triksR4rabits]

number one spot?

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Yup. Sorry virus

[Nova]

Anyone know Akon's real name?


It's long...

 

[OMars]

Over a year ago, Adult Swim released an underground hip hop album. What was that album called?

chrome children?

@ nova: His name was disputed numerous times, so now it's cut down quite a bit on wikipedia. I dont really think anyone knows what his real name IS at this point lol
