OK you massive legion of Noobster hip-hop fanatics...can you name all of the rappers in the portrait below?
You gotta know your shizzle my nizzle if you're going to get them all. I know all but two.
Let's go!

Cool pic, eh? I couldn't find it any bigger than this or I'd have made it a wallpaper.

What? No one else wants to try? We'll here I go (from top left corner):
Row 1 (from top): Big Pun, Fat Joe, Jay-Z, Eazy-E, the late Aliyah, Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Nas, some dude with glasses on that I don't know, Andre 3000, Big Boi, DMX.
Row 2: Nelly, Lil' Wayne, Juvenile, Mary J. Blige, some DJ in the middle who I don't know, Nas, Foxy Brown, Eve.
Row 3: some chick with braids I don't know, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Tupac, Run DMC, KRS-1, Notorious BIG, Redman, Method Man.
Row 4: Ja Rule, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Rakim (the greatest rapper of all time in my opinion) Grandmaster Flash, Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, Puff Daddy, Lil Kim, Flava Flav, some guy with a Pittsburgh Pirates hat on (?) that's too small to make out.
Row 5 (bottom row): Master P and his son Lil Romeo, Missy Elliot, Doug E. Fresh, some guy with a blue bandanna on that I don't recognize, Salt 'n' Pepa, Queen Latifah, Ludacris, Q-Tip and finally Heavy D.
The Brooklyn Bridge is pictured in the top left of the portrait because that's the recognized birthplace of hip-hop. A break dancer is pictured in the top middle because, well, that's how rap started - by rapping over the bridge, or "break beats" of a song.
I can't read the graffiti in the top right corner - something about "education". However, I am impressed with the rapper selection with one glaring exception: The RZA from the Wu-Tang clan should absolutely be in picture. Oh well, at least Method Man made it in.
I guess I missed a few more than I thought. Anyone care to fill in the unknowns?
:rave:
just one white guy?
More than enough...

Yeah, Vanilla Ice didn't make the cut (thank goodness) but he's back in the news today. Rapping. About...taxes. Yup. I heard him rapping for a Turbo Tax promotion on CNN online today and it was hor-rrendous.
the guy has to make a living somehow
