Name these 80's + 90's Hip Hop Classics by only listening to one second

Maybe we can make this an entry test for upcoming Hip Hop DJ's?

I scored 13/16. I figure a few of y'all can get 16/16 though.
DJ GaFFle 2:44 PM - 21 November, 2014
16/16 for me...

Yes

16, it's a little to easy for anyone that came up in the 80's/90's you know the song immediately
Taipanic 8:31 PM - 21 November, 2014
I suck, 11/16. Should have had at least 14. Down here in FLA in the early 90's it was all Techno, Freestyle & Top 40 back then, I played almost no Hip-Hop.
phonze 8:53 PM - 21 November, 2014
13/16. The Run DMC/Beastie Boys/Fresh Prince threw me off somehow
RonDu 9:36 PM - 21 November, 2014
15/16. So many beats sound like the Beastie one I missed

You must be running a 1st generation iPad.
gfella 10:56 PM - 21 November, 2014
Nope, latest mini.
It's the connection to the slate.com site.
It takes 5 min to get an audio sample.
I'm probably too far away, I'll try again later.

f*#kin Beastie Boys got me
DJ SPAIR 1:42 AM - 22 November, 2014
16 with ease. Need a harder challenge.
d:raf 2:00 AM - 22 November, 2014
16 of 16... still play all of those on occasion -except- for the Beasties (I never really liked that song).

16/16. waaay too easy and IMO the wheel of fortune format makes it even easier. the Run DMC sounded like Vanilla Ice but the apostrophe and amount of letters was a dead give away
Mr. Goodkat 2:47 AM - 23 November, 2014
15/16 for some reason i wanted to call 'top billin', 'milk is chillin'. dert
DJ Alkemy 4:41 AM - 23 November, 2014
15 outta 16. De La threw me (the shame). I instantly thought it was Funky Cold Medina then couldn't get that outta my head.
DJ Art Pumpin Payne 6:33 AM - 23 November, 2014
You scored 16 out of 16!

- Big daddy kane and Will tunes would have probably got me if not for the auto fill but no wrong guesses. I also got hung on another- Cypess Hill - I got two wrong on the autofill before it clicked,

Getting old...

Way too easy with the auto-fill-in thing.

14/16 on the 70's & 80's 15/16 on the 90's. Missed the country songs, not surprising.
Jensen Määäm 9:05 PM - 24 November, 2014
70s gave me 7 out of 16
current stuff gave me 10 out of 16
DJ GOODFOOT 9:52 AM - 25 November, 2014
Complete!
You scored 16 out of 16!
The average score was 9.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 12:30 PM - 25 November, 2014
15/16 ... Wow, Goin' Back To Cali....Never liked that song anyway...
DJ Alkemy 1:02 PM - 25 November, 2014
For the 80's I got them all right. For the recent one I got 5 lol
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 5:10 PM - 25 November, 2014
70's for the win..

Even without the player working sometimes, a few letters and could guess them.
DJ Alkemy 5:21 PM - 25 November, 2014
I had 11 in the 70's, not too bad. Jeez, that recent one, I was lost. Some of that was garbage I luckily ain't heard before.
DJ GaFFle 8:30 PM - 25 November, 2014
12/16 on the 70s...
13/16 on the 80s...
DJ Art Pumpin Payne 11:37 PM - 25 November, 2014
Went back and did the 70's - You scored 13 out of 16! - The average score was 11.

There are two ways of getting the answers, just listening or typing in some letters and trying to solve...
Did you guys just listen to the music and giving the answer or were you doing it like Johnny?

I know LL has that song, but don't ask me how it goes...I like Biggies "Going back to Cali".
DJ Skitz (USA) 1:57 AM - 26 November, 2014
Thanks, that was fun.

15 out of 16. I missed the EPMD track. It was the only one I didn't have in my library
(Im going to itunes now to change that). I knew it was EPMD, I just could remember the name of the song.

Not bad for someone still under 30 (just barely).
KayPlaya 8:43 AM - 26 November, 2014
14 out of 16.. Damn smh
