Young M.A: You ain't give me no hint?
Redman: Nooo!
Redman - This is Redman in the building, and we are live at the Genius Quiz with my girl Young M.A and we're about to test her knowledge.
on '90s hip-hop and culture.
Young M.A - Yeah, I grew up to a little '90s hip hop, a little flava every now and then.
Redman - I think we took it a little bit more serious in the '90s as far as lyrics.
And there’s a lot of new artists that are still doing the same thing far as lyrics today.
Redman - But in the '90s you definitely had to be a true emcee to get up to a certain platform.
You had to earn that spot.
That’s it though.
The energy is there, the same energy, everyone bounces, everyone loves the energy.
Young M.A - I don't know how well I'm going do.
I'm a '90s baby.
92 to be exact, we gonna see.
Redman - Let’s ride.
Young M.A: I'm gonna say Mystikal.
Redman - Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding and she completes question one ladies and gentlemen.
Young M.A - Cash money takin over for the nine nine in the two thousand.

Redman - Are you sure about that?
Young M.A - Yeah
Redman - Ding ding ding ding ding ding and she's on a roll right now, like butter.
Alright this is a good one, this is tricky because it kind of fooled me.
Young M. A - Ain’t this like the '80s though?
Redman - I think it was the early, early '90s.
Young M.A - I wasn't even thinking about English.
Redman - But you know what, you gonna go for it.

Let’s give it up for Young M.A in the building.
Redman - You know first thing I'd like to commend Young M.A just for being a talented
artist because one day she will have to be in my seat and be questioning the youth on
her records and her era.
She came in with the attitude to win, but also to gain knowledge of what she didn’t know.
And I love her for that man.
She’s good.
Young M.A - That’s the best way you learn it, getting it wrong
Redman - That’s right get it wrong
I think I did good.
I ain't gonna lie, I kinda expected to hear like questions that were like, out of my whole
element, but it’s like something you ain’t even gotta study for.
You’re like this is already locked in.
And I definitely appreciate this man right here.
This is legendary right here.
To even have this interview with this man is a blessing in itself.
I appreciate it.
