Unfortunately, despite many valiant efforts, especially from , nobody discovered that the hidden Easter egg in the article Orwell's Surprise, was ..... drumroll please!
Big Daddy Kane - Raw
The clue was my deliberate mistake, which I have now changed back, as I would not have been able to after payout!
The mistake was When your name becomes a verb, you know you have made an impact on the world.
I was referring to how we derive the word Orwellian from George Orwell's name, however as correctly pointed out in the comment section of that article, the word Orwellian is actually an adjective, as it is used to describe a state of society.
Big Daddy Kane once used the famous line, I'm so full of action, my name should be a verb. He did this in his 1990 song Raw, using Bobby Byrd's classic break for the song, I'm Coming.

[Verse 3]
. . .I damage ya I'm not an amateur but a pro-
-fessional unquestionable without doubt superb
So full of action, my name should be a verb
My voice will float on every note
When I clear my throat, that's all she wrote!
The minute that the Kane starts to go on
Believe it's gonna be smooth sailing so on
As I put other rappers out of their misery
Get them in a battle and make them all history
Ruling and schooling MC's that I'm dueling
Watch them all take a fall as I sit back cooling
On my throne, with a bronze microphone
Hmm, God bless the child that can hold his own
Cause I get raw
