Jeopardy! Just Went Full Hip-Hop Mode
Alex Trebek's game show finally speaks our language — with 48 rap clues that'll test your real knowledge.

Jeopardy! dropped a whole category that's nothing but hip-hop. We're talking rappers, albums, lyrics, beef — the whole culture getting its flowers on primetime game show TV. That's the kind of co-sign that means hip-hop isn't the flavor of the month anymore; it's the foundation.
Forty-eight clues mean there's real depth here, not just "Name That One-Hit Wonder" energy. If you've been paying attention to rap for the last few decades — from the legends to the new wave — this is your moment to flex on the Jeopardy! board. And honestly? It's cool to see the show finally recognize that hip-hop history is American history, worth testing people on in the same breath as Shakespeare and world capitals.
Check out the full clue breakdown and see how many you can get before the contestants do.
