Your hip hop status is...
Vanilla Ice
Were you even trying? Some of those questions were easy. Richard Madeley is more hip-hop than you.
You're a comedy, novelty rapper. The most you can aspire to in your rap career is to appear alongside Pat Sharp at a drunken student union bar. If you had a crew, the Chuckle Brothers would consider themselves too cool to join it.
So Solid Crew
You have dubious hip-hop knowledge and slightly scuffed street cred. Sure, you can pull a convincing pose with a mic and gold chain, but you need to spend more time on your rhymes and less on polishing your bling. You've had your 21 seconds, now just go.
Coolio
Loving your hair — very Young Einstein — but you're a bit rusty and out of touch. You've been living up in your own gangster's paradise for the past 20 years. What is going on?
Jay Z
A very good effort. Some splendid rap skills there.
You've taken on Noel Gallagher and turned your rap into a multi-million dollar business. But after the silliness of music streaming platform Tidal, are you getting a tad soft in your old age?
Dr Dre
Well done. I doff my baseball cap to you.
You've got some serious rap knowledge. You've worked with everyone worth working with, pushed gangsta rap into the mainstream with NWA and flogged lots of headphones — every street sweeper and bank manager seems to own a pair. You have permission to strut.
Notorious B.I.G.
Congratulations! You're a hip-hop deity.
You are the untouchable epitome of a super-sized, big-spending, high-living, fast-living, quick-talking, fearless, crazy talented rapper. Take the day off.
