Here at DJBooth, we like to test your rap IQ every other week. For this week’s edition we have combined two of white peoples’ favorite things: 50 Cent and “The Wire.” In celebration of the most hardened drug dealer turned rapper since Drake (he was a drug dealer on that “Degrassi” show, right?), you must decide if the following 11 quotes are from “The Wire” or 50 Cent. Think carefully because, should you get one wrong, Omar is just around the corner. You know, Omar or a silly 50 Cent GIF. This one is tough, but not as tough as one of Mr. Prezbo’s quizzes, so you might have a shot.
Without cheating, how many can you get right (honor code)? Best of luck! Just remember, its all in the game yo…
“I’m just a gangsta I suppose”
“World goin one way, people another yo”
“N***s shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house”
“When I ran the shop and my numbers dropped I damn sure did something about it”
“Be easy, stop the bullshit, you get your whole crew wet”
“Death gotta be easy cause life is hard”
“And my man, tomorrow he gon’ get out of jail. ROR, trust me nigga I know the law”
“There’s games beyond the fucking game”
“The fiends need me, I ain’t around, they bones ache”
“The crown ain’t worth much if the n***a wearing it always gettin his shit took”
So? How many did you get? If you aced our quiz, congrats, you are well on your way to becoming the next Marlo. Less than five and your are like that gump, Namond. At least its better than being Ziggy, though, right?
