Ready for Quiz #2
To quote the Gin Blossoms, let’s play two!
.
Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

400
Nice work!
500. I always wondered how to spell his name in Arabic.
Mystery solved!
400. And only from years of browsing the damn book, not from any knowledge of the fella’s music. However, no cheap shots about his stage name.
The years of browsing paid off nicely Bruce!
500. I’m on fire!
You’re on a roll Kid Slender!
500.
Well done Amrita!
Woop! 500 for me again…
That’s a pair of perfect scores to start the year J – nicely done!
Aargh, 200 for me. Hardly surprising since I only know him from a Thomas the Tank Engine mash up.
Haha, I’ve yet to hear that one – I’ll have to look that up!
To the Tubes of You!
400. And I am not a hip hop fan so this is good for me.
That’s a fine score, nice work!
400 as that album was everywhere …..
I will Die With My Boots On tryin to Get Rich!
Stellar work Deke – hope you’re enjoying the new LPs from Lauren this weekend, some solid records in there!
You be tI have been enjoying them! Man…Everything I touched she wanted to buy after awhile I was afraid to look at anything..haha
Full points to Geoff for quoting the Gin Blossoms. 🙂
Haha, I hoped you’d approve of that quote Aaron!
I see Gin Blossoms, I upvote!
I’m not a rap guy, not really, but even I got 500 this time!
Whatever guy you are, 500’s a fine score!
I’m more of an everything else except for (most) rap, opera, and new country guy.
500! 🤘
Exemplary work Sarca!
500. I can’t believe I know this stuff LOL!
You never know when that sort of thing will come in handy – today it paid off nicely!
200…. I hear his video games are OK.
I didn’t realize his brand had extended to video games!
500, the power of reading allowed with kids in the room.
Nice work Neil – the kids are alright!
A measly 200. My rap/hip hop knowledge is sorely lacking, I’m afraid.
It’s not an area of strength for me either JP!
I get 200 this week.
Well played D!
500 for me, 500 for Mika
The perfect start continues, nice work James & Mika!
300 for me.
Nice work Joe!
Guessed it at 500, have no idea how I know that!
But I’m glad you did somehow know it – nice work!
500 points. We in da club with it!
I can find you in da club this week!
500 here.. go shorty, it’s not my birthday!
We’re gonna party like it’s not your birthday!
400 points! I could have never remembered his real name. So many rappers…so many names.
And not so many where the birth name = stage name, nice work Geoff!
a surprise 500. Don’t like rap but somehow knew this.
You never know when such knowledge will come in handy!
