A virtual one-man band, Wonder's use of synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments during the 1970s reshaped the conventions of contemporary R&B. He also helped drive such genres into the album era, crafting his LPs as cohesive and consistent, in addition to socially conscious statements with complex compositions. Blind since shortly after his birth, Wonder was a child prodigy who signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, where he was given the professional name Little Stevie Wonder.

Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), better known by his stage names the Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, or simply Biggie, was an American rapper. Rooted in East Coast hip hop and particularly gangsta rap, he is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Wallace became known for his distinctive laid-back lyrical delivery, offsetting the lyrics' often grim content. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Wallace signed to Sean 'Puffy' Combs' label Bad Boy Records as it launched in 1993, and gained exposure through features on several other artists' singles that year. His debut album Ready to Die (1994) was met with widespread critical acclaim, and included his signature songs 'Juicy' and 'Big Poppa'. The album made him the central figure in East Coast hip hop, and restored New York's visibility at a time when the West Coast hip hop scene was dominating hip hop music. Wallace was awarded the 1995 Billboard Music Awards' Rapper of the Year. The following year, he led his protégé group Junior M.A.F.I.A., a team of himself and longtime friends, including Lil' Kim, to chart success. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)

het proefexamen op deze website is niet gedetailleerd genoeg waardoor de kennis volgens mij niet voldoende getest wordt, ik heb op meer dan 5 websites een proefexamen gemaakt en deze is zeer slecht. Gebruik aub de gratis website die de overheid heeft voorzien https://www.mijnrijbewijsb.be/, je zal zien dat de examens hier in ieder geval op deze website in veel groter detail gaan. (ik heb hier niets gekocht, enkel het gratis proefexamen gedaan)
