Who would have thought rappers and Republican Presidential candidates were so similiar? If you followed Super Tuesday coverage, you'll know that it's not getting any more decisive for the political party. Despite having hopes of getting a clear frontrunner after 11 states had their primaries on Tuesday, there's still uncertainty as both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum took leads, and Newt Gingrich won his homestate of Georgia. MTV's Becca Frucht was in Georgia covering the primary, where she spoke with young voters attending a Newt Gingirch victory party. She softned the political tone of the party by quoting rappers and Republican Presidential candidates to see if people could distinguish the two.

And while you might not think rappers and Republican politicians would necessarily have any sort of similar quotes, you might just be surprised. Think you'll be able to tell the difference? Give it a try yourself before you check out the answers at the bottom.
