As you know, Reef the Lost Cauze will be hosting a round tonight at quizzo, as well as battling me on the microphone. I asked him a few quick questions heading into tonight’s quiz.

1. When you first started rapping, who were your early influences?

My early influences were guys like Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap  and as a teen Big L and Nas. The classic MCs.

2. Are you encouraged or discouraged by the direction hip-hop is headed?

The direction its headed is always going to be new and different. As an older guy its easy to dismiss it but it has to keep evolving so I’d say I’m encouraged. There’s room for all of it.

3. What has been the biggest thrill of your career thus far?

Really hard to pinpoint one but I’d say just getting the respect of MCs I grew up admiring and playing gigs with them all over the world. That’s a mindf**k for sure.

4. What is something that most people don’t realize about the rap business?

That it’s all smoke and mirrors.

5. What music artist would you most want to collaborate and why?

Prince. Cuz he’s prince!

Gonna be a wild one tonight. All new music questions. We start off at Ugly American at 8 p.m. I have never worked a quiz that was harder to predict. Every other week we get 80 people, and then the next week we’ll have 20. Last week was packed, so I’m thinking this week will be quiet, and the perfect opportunity for YOUR team to get a win and earn a spot in the JGTSI.

On to the Bards, where I will be having a rap battle against the best battle rapper in Philly, Reef the Lost Cauze. Don’t worry, I expect to hold my own with a rap about my favorite presidents. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. In addition to the rap battle, you’ll have a chance to win fries by defeating Reef in a trivia battle. This quiz is gonna be nuts. And don’t worry, there won’t be a ton of hip-hop questions.

Koob and Kristy will be hosting a comic book quiz tonight at Drinker’s Pub in Old City. DC vs. Marvel. Action starts at 8 p.m. Beer and shot specials. If you love comic books, tonight is your night to shine.

We kick back into gear tonight at the Locust Rendezvous and the Black Sheep. The music quiz is a lot of fun. A great first round, and a very fun music round. We kick it off at the Vous at 6:15 p.m. This week they’ve got $3 Shocktops and $2 Buds. On to the Black Sheep, where we’ve been rocking the past few weeks. Hope to see ya tonight!

You’d think after doing something every week for 6 years you wouldn’t forget to do it. You’d think wrong. Too late now. We’ll have one again next week.

We kick into our final week tonight. We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. The most parity in quizzo. 8 different winners in the past 9 weeks. $3.50 Mexican beers.

On to the City Tap House. Another great chance to win, as things have quieted down a bit for summer. $3 Sly Foxes and $10 for a personal pizza and a beer. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. All music questions. Hope to see you tonight!

Here they are, the updated scores on the scoreboard. (Does NOT count the new musical physical challenge). Brown Betty is cruising in total points, helped along by not just physical challenge points but by a couple of wins. Steak Em Up has finally given in and started doing physical challenges. Their foolish pride was obviously taking too much of a hit to keep seeing themselves in 7th place. Remember, the top 10 teams (teams in yellow) are in the drawing for a $100 gift certificate bonus. It looks like spots 1-10 are pretty much locked up, so I will have invites this week.

There is still plenty of opportunity to make the cut however, if you want to represent Philly against Denver on August 7th. Each season, we have a few teams make the cut but drop out of the running, so I expect a few slots to open up.  Further, you can help yourself by doing the latest physical challenge. And finally, next week is wild card week. If you can’t make the cut but want to play, a Top 2  finish next week will earn you a spot.
