[Intro, Spoken]
There's a legendary performance by the Notorious B.I.G
Where's he up in front of a huge crowd of people rocking the microphone
And all of a sudden, he starts going like this over and over again
"Where Brooklyn at?" "Where Brooklyn at?"
"Where Brooklyn at?" "Where Brooklyn at?"
And the crowd goes nuts, they lose their minds
I could never figure out exactly why
There was such a strong reaction to this performance
But I gave it a little bit more thought
And I think I've come to a key insight
DJ, let's do it
(instrumental begins)
"Where Brooklyn at?" Biggie says
And the crowd goes bananas
Well, you guys, if every hip-hop audience is as big a fan as geography trivia as that crowd was
We're 'bout to tear the roof off this
Let's do it, yo!
[Intro]
Geography trivia, we get it hot, y'all
Me and Biggie, uh
I got my women and my dogs with me
For some trivia about geography
Okay, guys, here's your first question
There's five countries on the planet Earth
Whose names end with the letter L
That's five countries that end in L
Don't just yell 'em out, I'm gonna cue you in the rap
Stick with it
[Verse 1]
Word up, the first one is in Europe
Home of lots of explorers, y'all, Portugal
Second one's the largest country in South America, Brazil
Third's in South Asia, Nepal
Four's in West Africa, Senegal
My quiz'll get your melon spinnin' like a dizzy spell
Yell five if you wit' it, Israel!
[Chorus]
Yeah, geography trivia
S'what I'm giving ya
I don't DJ, breakdance, or draw graffiti
I MC about geography
Tee-rivia!
[Spoken]
Okay, you guys, four US state capitals
Whose names begin with the same first letter as the state they're the capital of
Four cities
[Verse 2]
There's a fabulous 500 mile car race
And the place where it happens is
Indianapolis, Indiana
And the birthplace of President Obama
Honolulu, Hawaii
And, guys, the capital of Oklahoma?
Oklahoma City, not creative
And where's the last one, y'all?
I'll tell you where
Dover, Delaware, yeah!
Geography trivia
Okay, Lake Titicaca
Situated on the border of Peru and
Bolivia
[Spoken, Crowd]
Okay, everybody out of fifty US states
I need to know which state contains the southernmost point
Northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost
Here's a hint: One state's gonna be the answer for more than one
Okay, which state contains the northernmost point in it, y'all?
Alaska
Alaska, of course
Southernmost?
Hawaii
Hawaii, how about westernmost, y'all?
Alaska
Absolutely, also Alaska
And then what about easternmost?
Maine
It's also Alaska, the Aleutian Islands extend so far west
That they actually cross that 180th meridian
And are technically on the eastern edge
Of the eastern hemisphere
[Outro]
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
(applause)
It's in New York
