Lyrics Quiz: Golden Age of Hip-Hop


I have already dedicated a couple posts this month to the golden age of hip hop and am continuing that with this month’s Lyrics Quiz. As always leave your guesses, both artist and song title, in the comment section (or e-mail me). If you are correct I will un-bold the lyric and give you credit. Please keep in mind the lyrics quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please only use your own meandering mind to guess them.
