      The goal of the game is to mention the words at least once in the freestyle. But Tariq said he will "take it three further, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger", meaning he mentions the word 3 times instead of one.

      Also I was actually just making a joke about how Fallon said he just doesn't understand in the video. It wasn't that serious. Like I said, I've got a hunch you're just saying you're black, but if you really are then, it is what it is.

      Crashtest Fetus nwa was good but they only had 1 good album and it was their first. Also, cube was the only real rapper in the groups and wrote for Dre and e.
      They did a lot for the game, but I would argue that the roots did more and really evolved it with The Soulquarians. Not only have they continued to drop quality, album after album, but that whole movement brought back consciousness in hiphop. They deserve to be part of the discussion.
