Ever thought you’d see hip-hop beefs make their way onto a game show? This week, “Jeopardy!” surprised everyone by featuring a category called “Diss-track-tions,” spotlighting famous rap feuds like Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, and more.
From the Studio to the Game Show
“Diss-track-tions” took contestants through some of the most intense rivalries in hip-hop history. They had to identify key players or songs from beefs such as 2Pac vs. Biggie, 50 Cent vs. Cam’ron, Nas vs. JAY-Z, and The Game vs. Eminem, alongside the infamous Kendrick and Drake feud.
The official “Jeopardy!” team even shared the fun on their social media, captioning the clip with, “All we gotta say is… THEY NOT LIKE US!!! #Jeopardy! #hiphop #rapmusic.” You can check out the clip below.
Hip Hop on “Jeopardy!”
This isn’t the first time hip-hop has made an appearance on “Jeopardy!”. Contestants often find themselves stumped by questions related to the genre. Last year, a question about Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice left contestants scratching their heads. Host Ken Jennings asked, “Ice Spice and this singer whose fans are called Barbz are fittingly on the Barbie soundtrack with ‘Barbie World.’” One contestant mistakenly answered Aqua, the group known for their 1990s hit “Barbie Girl,” which was sampled in the song in question. The correct answer, of course, was Nicki Minaj.
Earl Sweatshirt vs. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Mishap
Earlier, another hilarious mix-up happened when a contestant confused Earl Sweatshirt with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. During a category titled “Rappers,” a $800 question showed an image of Earl Sweatshirt in a hoodie, with Mayim Bialik giving a hint. A contestant buzzed in confidently, only to incorrectly identify him as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The moment quickly went viral, with fans having a good laugh at the mix-up.
These moments not only bring a smile to viewers’ faces but also highlight how hip-hop culture continues to infiltrate mainstream media in unexpected ways. It’s always fun to see how contestants handle these challenges, and it’s clear that hip-hop is here to stay.
