In this episode of React, a group of young people are played a series of 1990s hip hop songs and asked to identify the artists and song titles. The songs played are:
1. "It Was a Good Day" by Ice Cube
2. "Big Poppa" by The Notorious B.I.G.
3. "Woo-Hah!!" by Busta Rhymes
4. "Protect Ya Neck" by Wu-Tang Clan
5. "My Name Is" by Eminem
6. "Shoop" by Salt-N-Pepa
7. "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" by DMX featuring Eve and Swizz Beatz
The participants show varying levels of familiarity with the songs, with some being able to identify the artists and song titles immediately, while others are less familiar. They also share their thoughts and opinions on the songs and artists, and some are surprised by the transitions some of the artists have made (e.g. DMX becoming a pastor).
