Instrumental hip-hop tracks - Can you help me identify them?
I took a beginning jazz dance class a few months back for my AA degree, and while in the class, I got a few of the instrumental tracks we used to warm-up/dance with. Most of them I was able to identify, as they were instrumentals of real songs. But a few, I have absolutely no idea who the original artist was. These might not even be instrumentals of popular songs, but rather original compositions. Dunno, I've got nada, nix, zero, zilch. My instructor didn't have a clue. Can you give a quick listen to these and identify them? I would be truly grateful!

**NOTE: I've replaced the original clips with the first 30-60 seconds of each song.
Thanks!

The only song I recognized was a snippet of "Shook Ones" by Mobb Deep in the 4th clip. The others sound very familiar, but it's hard to tell by just the beat.
They have degrees in Alcoholic Anonymous?
^I think some could argue that point, yes.
UNK1 - "Pump It Up" by Joe Budden

UNK2 - Sounds alot like a Ciara track but the sample is too short, its definitely got Lil' Jon signature beats so it could be any of his affiliated productions but this has Ciara written all over it. Would need to hear more.
UNK3 - This just screams Lil' Jon to me, something with East Side Boys, it sounds alot like "Damn" but not.
