I dunno. I think Cordozar Broadus sounds pretty dope. Onika Maraj sounds cool, too. As does Amethyst Kelly. Hard to imagine why someone born Amethyst Kelly would decide to go by "Iggy" when they went into show business.

(Cue beatboxing…)

Yo! It's me, QM, I'm the king of the site.

It's flowing in dollars as I sit here and write.

They call me the master, that's just what I am,

For all these geopolitics I don't give a damn.

They ask me, "Where's Cyprus? Palestine? Trinidad too?"

I just turn and stare 'cause this ain't nothin' new,

I tell 'em, "Use your brain, fool! It's common sense!"

(Well not that harshly, I seem more on the fence)

I say, "It's been a debated a million times,"

I say, "You all lookin' like clowns and mimes,"

I say, "Get wise, get a job, get workin' for dimes,"

I say, "Quit botherin' me when I'm spitting out rhymes."

Every day and all day, I get complaints,

They sayin' all my quizzes need some new paints,

The fools! I researched these hard,

And they comin' in with a Google search to keep their guard.

(Musical break)

I'm the Quizmaster, you know, that's just what I am.

For all these geopolitics I don't give a damn.

Know that I am the wise, the greatest bell,

And all my haters goin' to

Making all these quizzes, Leaves little time for the missus,

While my drink pops and fizzes, none of yo business,

I make dope quizzes, that's why they call me Quizmaster,

Geography is my mistress, your quiz is a disaster,

High points and high knowledge is what we after,

You other quiz makers are deacons, but he the head pastor,

My rhymes are gold like King Midas,

We talking about Cyprus while others just sittin in diapers,

Wipe away the competition, with a fresh rendition, with a new addition, and quizzes of attrition, leaving all the other quiz sites wishin, while my book knowledge big like John Grisham, you can only try to envision, without comprehension, the amount of history skills and English language diction, movies, TV, and all sorts of fiction, a walking contradiction from a quizmaster on a mission...

It's not really correct to say that Tupac Shakur's real name was Lesane Parish Crooks. That was his name at birth, yes, but it was changed to Tupac Shakur shortly afterwards. It was his legal name for almost his entire life.

I was going to say the same thing. I've read a fair amount about Tupac (obviously not enough, I guess), but I've always understood that Tupac Shakur was his "real name." His mother's last name was Shakur, after all.

agreed. "Tupac Shakur" was most definitely not his "rapper name," as this quiz implies. his rap name would be "2Pac."

Probably because rappers are known for insulting and degrading women, gays, and their competition.

I understand that's not be all they rap about, but it's what they're known for.

The old rap was ok or had real messages. The new rap is just dumb. They don't even speak intelligible words. It is some women shaking around saying weird phrases or some kid named "Lil Ketchup" or "Young Midget" or "Lil Ajax", that looks like a newspaper, with so much junk tatted on his face, who will likely die of an overdose in the news next year.

Would love to see some more ladies representin'! Off the top of my head, I thought of: Mathangi Arulpragasam (M.I.A.); Cheryl James (Salt), Sandra Denton (Pepa), and Deidra Roper (DJ Spinderella) of Salt-N-Pepa; Lana Michelle Moorer (MC Lyte); Dana Elaine Owens (Queen Latifah). The fact that this list includes Iggy Azelea but not the Queen is a travesty.

What exactly IS a Post Malone? It sounds like a fence post with Karl Malone's face on it, or a post-it note commercial...or a period of time that happens after Malone lived. The guy looks like a greasy love child of Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. All these new rappers look like unemployable crackheads who live on their grandmother's couch and never learned to read. At least the old school cats had some catchy music or real knowledge to spit.
