Contest, Who is This? »

[19 Aug 2008 | 12 Comments | ]

This photo comes from another blog, and I’ll give the photographer credit as soon as someone can tell me who the two rappers on the left are. Each of them were a member of different 90′s hip-hop groups.


EDIT: Now,…

I decided to bring back “Who Am I” even though no one solved my last Who Am I? post (Nicco got one of them but I need the full answer to give full credit). So I’m at it again.…

When I lived in France I learned that the French love R&B. My white roommate had a Montell Jordan CD and played it often, and my lil’ Cameroonian boyfriend Francois had every single CD that R. Kelly has ever…

This nineties one-hit hip-hopper looks good enough that I’d holla if he didn’t have a few kids.

UPDATE: Kim nailed it with the first guess. This is Candyman who hit big with “Knockin Boots.” I had to look…

I didn’t watch a lot of music video back when this R&B group had its glory days, so maybe you’ll have an easier time recognizing them if you did. The only hint I’ll give for now is that they’re down…

In a WWTD first, this installment of “Who Am I” features someone who first charted during this century. Will this rapper do it again or is he already a one-hit wonder?

UPDATE: Posting anonymusly is all good, but it’s…

I have some nerve even posting this. If you can remember what this 80′s group looked like back in the day let alone imagine what they’d look like after having aged 30 or so years, then you’ve sped right through…

Rather, who are WE? This 90′s group is still trying to be in the mix – with most of its original members, at that. Any ideas?



UPDATE:
Gradmommy was first, but most of you saw through the layer of lost…

Maybe you never knew what she looked like at all, but can you guess which 70′s/80′s dance queen this is? Her last hit was in the early 80′s but she’s still getting burn on the gay club/concert scene.
UPDATE: I know this was almost two month’s ago, but every single person who guessed was right – this is Evelyn Champagne King. I feel like she must have done something with her nose, you think?

Just giving you guys a little something to ponder…this ’80′s crooner changed his name and his style, but I’m sure some of you will get this even though he’s rocking the Erykah Badu look in this photo.

UPDATE: All…

No hints…I think this one is pretty easy – this artist is still performing and recording even though he last charted in the 90s. As usual, you win nothing but bragging rights.

UPDATE: Ok, ok, this IS MC Brains, and…

Enough games. You have to identify all three of these 90′s chartmakers, 1-3 left to right, to be officially correct. There may even be a prize…


UPDATE: I guess this was way harder than I thought it would be.

I love watching you guys scramble like overachievers to answer these, so I’m going to try to do them more often in the hopes of someday trying to stump you. Don’t do a bunch of research trying to out-Thembi me,…

I guess I have to make these harder…you guys are pretty good at this, so here’s a toughie. He’s almost a ‘Good Hair Gone Bad” but isn’t famous enough, only having had one very memorable and catchy hit in the…

Well, it’s never really a contest since no one winner has ever claimed their prize, but can anyone tell me who this is? Hint: he had a career as a child but is looking like he smoked too many…
