The Questions Hip-Hop Trivia

The Questions is a hip-hop trivia game show for both casual fans die-hard rap nerds.

After two years of live events across the country – including shows with Dre Day Los Angeles, Beat Junkies Institute of Sound, and B-Real TV – The Questions pivoted to an online format in March 2020 at the start of the global pandemic, eventually evolving into a podcast.

Show guests - rappers, producers, DJs, hip hop media personalities, actors, comedians, and super-fans – play through rounds of questions about artists, albums, and lyrics, while also sharing their own stories about how hip hop has played a role in their lives.

Practitioners and contributors to the culture who have hopped in the guest seat include Questlove, Russell Peters, Peter Rosenberg, Just Blaze, Warren G, Masta Ace, Tony Baker, Murs, Open Mike Eagle, Mister Cee, Dante Ross, Phonte Coleman (Little Brother), Christopher “Kid” Reid, Cosmo Baker, Trackstar the DJ (Run the Jewels), Slimkid3 (the Pharcyde), and more!

In 2022, The Questions expanded the podcast format to include the Making Illmatic series, bracket tournament discussions, and much more. In 2023, The Questions returned to the live event space – just in time for hip-hop’s 50th birthday and the release of a physical game of The Questions, published with Clarkson Potter & Penguin/Random House.
