Full correct answers so far: -

02 - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
03 - Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day
04 - Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain
06 - Outkast - Ms. Jackson

And every artist that rchecka mentioned apart from 01 is correct (although 01 was a good guess!).

[Andrew B]

02: The Message
04: Insane in the Brain?
05: Me Myself and I?
07: I Need Love?
09: Ain't No Half-Steppin?

#8 i want to say is DMX but pic is too far away can't tell.

[Sigma]

Just 1, 8 and 10 to get.

I've posted this on 3 forums and nobody has got 1 yet.

[rchecka]

1. Herbie Hancock & Grandmixer D.S.T - Rockit Live ?

[Sigma]

Nope!

Here's a clue for 01 - It's a big rap/pop crossover hit. Not the biggest that this artist had in the US (his biggest hit was another track from the same album), but it still went platinum and hit #3 in the regular pop charts.

[Andrew B]

10: Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More?

[Sigma]

Yep. 01 and 08 left.

[Andrew B]

Is 08 Triumph?

edit: Yep. :dance: God, I watched a lot of MTV when I was a kid.

[Andrew B]

Nope!

Here's a clue for 01 - It's a big rap/pop crossover hit. Not the biggest that this artist had in the US (his biggest hit was another track from the same album), but it still went platinum and hit #3 in the regular pop charts.

OK, so I ran with this clue. It's Funky Cold Medina.

In honor of the final answer, I present to you: Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina are the same song (http://www.paulspond.com/index.php?entry=21)

[DJ Knowledge]

1 is Tone Loc
8 is Wu-Tang
10 is Busta Rhymes

Sorry I just saw this post. I didn't know it had a second page.

[DJ Boom Bap]

Edit: Didn't read whole thread first

[mikeneezy]

#8 Wu-Tang Clan: Triumph

[Boomcie]

How did I miss this? I knew them all except 1 and 5

[Mixxed]

Wish I would have seen this earlier... i would have gotten most of 'em

Do another one soon!

[Sigma]

I'll do a tougher one in a day or two.

[rchecka]

...Let's keep it going, in the meantime try to do these 2 that are already finished.

You don't have to answer on the blog, answer right here on this topic. (Just name the artist only, not any song in particular)
