Slacktory Supercut: Rapper Spelling Bee

[FearlessSpinner]

Since when are the beastie boys rappers?!

[VHSdreamz]

I really wish there was a playlist with all these songs.

[Haakona93]

soundtrack list?

[elirox100]

eminem does it in WTP

[nameless12345]

doesn't snoop spell his name more than anyone

[abdelhaq08]

@Mendle44 What's the song at 1:17?

[nnigga]

Gravediggaz - 6 feet deep /watch?v=t8zhUh36uVc#t=39s

[Versatile281]

should add n-o-t-o-r-i-o-u-s you just lay down slow. I know you got a biggie one already but that was one of his dopest songs

[joyyyyyfication]

brain workout trying to figure out what they were spelling

[AAKN6]

u forgot x to the z, x-zibit :)

[MegaAmir46]

Whats the name of the Red Cafe song?

[bananas337]

@MegaAmir46 "Co-sign"

[automat3000]

So much good hip-hop in this video, but you can almost pinpoint when it got shit (with the exception of Common & Mos Def). It's obviously 1:51. I wonder if hip-hop will ever be as great as the golden age in the late 80s/early 90s.

[SomethingRules]

@automat3000 cool taste in music dad

[darknight221993]

Adult Swim sent me =)

[ZacharyChief]

would have been better with subs (y)

[karatze]

What was that before Ice-T? Naughty by Nature?

[Mendle44]

@karatze Run-DMC (w/Pete Rock) - "Down With the King"

[karatze]

@Mendle44 Right, that's the one. Thanks! I knew I know this song. ;)

[WhiteRainbowFlick]

@Mendle44 whats the epmd song and the one after das efx?

[Mendle44]

@WhiteRainbowFlick EPMD's "Get the Bozack" and Nine's "Whatcha Want"

[nwoisnow]

[SulakAttack]

You're missing the B, the O, the B, the B, the Y, the D, the I, the G, the I, the T, the A, the L

RZA

[guillotine117]

Organized Konfusion FTW

[juannotjohn]

It would be nice to have a list of the songs in the video. There were a lot of quality cuts on this. Nice work. Must of took forever to put together.

[Mendle44]

@juannotjohn Thanks man!

[0913234372]

This was totally unexpected

[sinisterthegreat]

[rennerdesigns]

Great Compilation!

My Top Three... not rappers, just my favorites

1- It's me you see, SN double OP... DO double GY, the DO double G

2- B I G... PO.. P PA... (what about, "it's the NO, TO, RI, O, US you just lay down slow...)

3- M E T H O D, man... M E T H O D, man... M E T H O D man...

Most iconic- The MAS a TER a G with the double E

The Worst... ABCDEFG... what a fucking idiot...

[ViciousMiller]

Snoop Dogg ALWAYS spells his name on records

[duolong1]

Why is a different version of alive from beasty boys ? I need this version!

[tblessed313]

This sh#! is dope...dope...dope!!!

[emyk555]

M.A.T.O.

[Antwnhs92]

I was brought by Mike Shinoda...and NAS is the best rapper ever!!!

[siwydlafanek]

KTO OD FOKUSA

[tobz2517]

[Mendle44]

@tobz2517 Run-DMC's "Down With the King"

[BBoyle32]

@Mendle44 what is the first beastie boys song

[Mendle44]

@BBoyle32 "3-Minute Rule" from Paul's Boutique

[kuffa]

[EskaChojnice]

mamy tradycję, przejmować filmy.. wiem że się nie rymuje , ale chuj z tym :D ! POLSKA!

[Jukd777]

What is the song at 1:45 ?

[Mendle44]

@Jukd777 Biggie's "Mo Money, Mo Problems"

[trickytree2]

@Jukd777 Nororious B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems

[spitamanic]

Just noticed something. Whenever AZ says his name, he's technically spelling it too.

[Mendle44]

@spitamanic Ha. Totally. I purposely left out rappers who names automatically spell themselves out, e.g. DMX, AZ, etc.

[bloodymirgulag]

Pretty solid selection of artists!

[lollotup32]

song in 0:15 ?

[Mendle44]

@lollotup32 Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight"

[Johnykun]

JAHAJAHAJHAJH xD

[DarkFragor]

this video sum up the entire "music" industry.

[NoXXyys]

What's the song @ 0:30? Love it!

[Mendle44]

@NoXXyys Beastie Boys' "Pass the Mic"

[einarijazzk]

What's the song at 0:12!? Sounds very good!

[Mendle44]

@einarijazzk Slick Rick's "Mona Lisa"

[mjwalk5]

The last one with Nas gave me chills.

[problemdogs]

A$AP

[aceillinois]

he doesn't do repeats? i'm pretty sure snoop dogg spells out his name every freestyle he does...and so did biggie

[Mendle44]

@aceillinois You're right. I meant not having the same rapper spell his name out more than once in the vid. Snoop and Biggie def did it multiple times.

[BoxProductionsInc]

[Slacktory]

Just so everyone knows: Mendle44, commenting below, is this video's creator, Jason Newman. So ask him anything you want!

[thefabiinlove]

YEah , mike shinodas tweets rules xD

[PS3xMedia]

i wonder how many teenagers will watch this and realise how little hip hop theyve actually listened to

they be like "who the fuck is rakim and mc lyte?"

educate ur fuckin selves

[IamCarlWeber]

Definitely a lot of my favorite artist.. Check out STICKY FINGAZ in my featured video for the trailer to my new book. The Family Business. Coming January 31st 2012.

[januaryweek]

that end was super random

[fadzlirot]

spin

[lessiver]

Like if you were brought here by Baptiste Lorber's fb

[soubreros]

0:34?



[Mendle44]

@soubreros Beastie Boys - "Alive"

[IamCarlWeber]

I Don't know if there making fun of or paying tribute to old school hip hop artist, But i do like this.

[Mendle44]

@IamCarlWeber Total tribute. I love all of these guys. (Well, most.) 

[Raph3venox]

And of course, N-A-S are the letters that spell, NAS. Legend

[spitamanic]

Yo, the g-u-r-u, of the gang, can always hang

[ChannieStrings]

I like it @m_shinoda @phoenixlp

[Jonisfilm]

@ChannieStrings i like it too @ aisfdjisdg_aifj @herp derp

[chewjacka206]

Like if you were brought here by Mike Shinoda's tweet.

[shadow11270]

@chewjacka206 hell yeah!!!!!

[mouthoftheeast]

Oh wow, look at that, another Puffy/Diddy song where he takes someone else's stuff, twists it around & makes it his own. How creative.

[codiesel01]

Drama was the greatest rap speller of all time. He never did spell his name though.

[TheFlintSkinny]

Usher - Nice & Slow: They call me US HER RA YM OND....now baby tell me what you wanna do with me?

[mouthoftheeast]

@TheFlintSkinny Yeah, that would work if this was called "top 40 pop artist spelling bee".

[TheFlintSkinny]

@mouthoftheeast Good Point.

[seventwo]

For biggie, it should've been "N-O-T-O-R-I-O... U-S, you just lay down slow."

[Mendle44]

@seventwo That's a great one too, but I only had video for "Mo Money, Mo Problems" and video trumps audio.

[iggac]

I love the fact that you finished with N-A-S.
