	correct me if i'm wrong, but this is just kinda a quiz called "name all the rappers you can think of"

	jesus:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 18:39 GMT		18 points
	I think if I had some of these names I would change my name. Kenneth is not a rappers name. And Clifford, isn't that a big red dog.

	where is t-pain!?

	one thing is for sure: this quiz could have been a lot harder if you asked for the real name, not the stage name

	@ Ben - hahaha, i was thinking the exact same thing! @ brian - i couldn't believe t-pain wasn't on there either. i typed his name 3 different ways b/c i thought for sure he'd make this list.

	@ Brian - He's on a boat! ;-)

	One should have to match the stage name to actual name. Otherwise, the only challenge to this game is listing every rapper you know. Also, Kid Rock? Why?

	wow, we are so white

	@Whole Lotta Sporcle: hip hop does use an instrument: the voice. Was surprised no salt n pepa. Also maybe some Jodeci members in the sequel?

	can't believe i missed xzibit, pimp my sporcle fo' shizzle

	Liz:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 20:34 GMT		25 points
	I don't know why I am surprised, but really ... only two female artists? Where are Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Da Brat, Eve, Trina, Foxy Brown, Salt n Pepa, and others?

	mister_pianoman:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 20:41 GMT		0 points
	I thought I did really bad, only getting 18, but according to the results, that's better than most...

	just because akon is black doesn't make him a rapper

	Sparky:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT		26 points
	I think that the Flight of the Conchords, a.k.a. Rhymenocerous and Hiphoppopotamus should count as bonuses =D

	Joe_Ball:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 20:53 GMT		-1 points
	I was also a bit bemused at the lack of female artists: it made the two that were there almost not worth guessing for. I could add Ms Dynamite, Rihanna, Ciara, Brandy...

	i love how tupac had a badass name to begin with so he didn't need to change it

	Nathan Jones:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 21:15 GMT		3 points
	Babyface is definitelt not a rapper. Great quiz otherwise.

	elgato10x:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 22:20 GMT		16 points
	@whole lotta sporcle: What is the criteria for what makes something an "instrument"? There are bands out there who create music from banging on trash cans and blowing on glass jugs. Also, creating a clean-sounding rap beat is just as difficult as learning to play guitar or any other instrument. And rap evolved from blues and jazz.

	Vanilla Ice?? No that was a real rapper....

	Dirtmaier:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 22:41 GMT		7 points
	I spent five minutes typing every single permutation of "Lil' Romeo" I could think of for Percy Miller. This should, it seems to me, count, since the current USC Trojan shares the name Percy Miller with his (albeit more famous) father, Master P.

	Disappointed by omission of Mike D, Ad-Rock, and MCA, aka the Beastie Boys. Other than that it wasn't bad, knew a few and then just started playing "How many rap artists can you name?". Too bad the other 2/3 of Run DMC (besides Reverend Run) weren't on the list either.

	Great quiz! Thanks Sporcle for representin'. I would also have liked to see more women on the list.

	flinty:	Apr 27th, 2009 at 00:58 GMT		11 points
	i don't understand why people come on these quizzes and slate them, go find a quiz about your personal taste in music if your so annoyed by this one

	No Falco???

	dbcint:	Apr 27th, 2009 at 01:49 GMT		2 points
	I'm somewhat surprised DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince aren't on here, at least as bonuses

	@Whole Lotta Sporcle: Are you kidding me? Listen to the music. You can hear drums in every song. That's the key: LISTEN to the music, don't whine about it.

	How is Kid Rock catergorized as Hip Hop and Country? what a joke!!!
