	I never knew Shakespeare was so hip.

	Colmar:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 15:10 GMT		6 points
	That Hamlet fellow sure can bust a rhyme!

	AnnieCresta4:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 15:33 GMT		2 points
	Atfirst, I thought it was just a weird and easy quiz, but it was really hard and lots of fun. It was really funny, the idea.

	Joseph Ducreux uses these lines when he raps.

	Love any quiz with Shakespeare. This one was thought-provoking but not as difficult as the Shakespeare vs. Batman quiz. Would like to see more of these.

	singin185:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	Are these randomized? I kept getting 5 and 6 in a row of the same answer.

	@everyone: Thanks! I didn't even realise this had been published until I saw it on the front page! @performax, there's a lot more Shakespeare and Hip-Hop which I didn't even touch up on in this quiz. Could I do a sequel with metal as well?

	At least I can tell the difference between Shakespeare and Nicki Minaj, haha.

	ChileNoseJam:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 17:25 GMT		1 point
	Not quite as good as Shakespeare vs Batman, because most of those are more difficult. A lot of these are pretty obvious... but it's still amusing when you do get one wrong.

	Plan B used 'manor' as an ironic name for British council estates? Been used in that context for quite some time.

	Snacks:	Sep 9th, 2012 at 17:53 GMT		-1 points
	"A sword sliced the air." was actually said by Frank Ocean in 'She', not Tyler, the Creator.

	Wes_Mantooth:	Sep 10th, 2012 at 00:47 GMT		-2 points
	Good idea for a quiz. Someone make one without any of that British rap.

	Mackadal:	Sep 10th, 2012 at 18:26 GMT		4 points
	This quiz should be played by anyone who has ever said "rap is crap".

	2pac and Eminem dont sing hip-hop... they rap

	jefe_:	Sep 11th, 2012 at 05:17 GMT		1 point
	"Juliet, I'ma let you finish... But Beatrice had one of the best love stories of all time!" I really want to see the other wrong-answer blurbs.

	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpwbRSLVPg I feel this song is surprisingly fitting....

	If you understand Iambic Pentameter, a lot of them become obvious.

	@Elgin_McQueen; I'd known it had been used in that context for some time, but remember Sporcle is American-dominated, and Plan B really made the term universal. @singin185 - Yup, it's randomised. @Snacks - Eh... still counts. Wes_Mantooth: Seriously? For me, Akala, Plan B and M.I.A. more than make up for any amount of terrible grime. @jefe_: by all means get the entire quiz wrong on purpose. I'm particularly proud of some of them. @Concrete Eskimo... that's just awesome. @kirbyk: Oh damn, I've been rumbled! D:

	I missed 2. It was pretty obvious.

	JenBitesPeople:	Feb 2nd, 2013 at 01:13 GMT		1 point
	Sonnet 116 actually says "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments" - wee bit different!

	2016boneill:	Apr 29th, 2013 at 18:48 GMT		1 point
	A good quiz although hadn't heard of any of these modern 'songs'. A version Shakespeare or 1970's would be better. Was involved with a Hamlet production last year and still didn't even get all of the Hamlet quotes. Never mind!

	Minor: The "bonus" for "everything you stand for..." has "Eminem" spelled wrong.
