Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s epic beef made it into a Jeopardy! category this week, along with other famous feuds among their peers.
Dubbed “Diss-track-tions,” the category described key players or songs in the feuds and had contestants referencing 2pac vs. Biggie, 50 Cent vs. Cam’ron, Nas vs. JAY-Z and The Game vs. Eminem in addition to K.dot and Drizzy.

Posting the clip on their official account, the Jeopardy! team even pointed to Drake and Kendrick in their caption, writing, “All we gotta say is… THEY NOT LIKE US!!! #Jeopardy! #hiphop #rapmusic”

Jeopardy is far from new to Hip Hop references; even if contestants are not always well versed on the genre.
Last year, a question involving Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice ending up fully stumping contestants.

In November, host Ken Jennings asked the contestants this final question in the “pop music” category:
“Ice Spice and this singer whose fans are called Barbz are fittingly on the Barbie soundtrack with ‘Barbie World,’” Jennings asked, with one contestant thinking that the answer was Aqua, the Danish-Norwegian pop group who had a hit song with “Barbie Girl” back in the 1990s, the track sampled on the “Barbie World” song in question.
Of course, the answer was Nicki.
Earlier that year, Earl Sweatshirt was mistaken for A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie by a contestant on Jeopardy!, and social media had quite the field day with it.

“Rappers” was one of the categories, and the $800 question showed an image of Earl Sweatshirt in a hooded sweatshirt with Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik explaining: “He’s seen here actually in a hoodie around the time of Doris, his major label debut album.”
One of the female contestants pushed the button to answer the question, and she confidently said the rapper was A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. After a brief pause and laughter from the other contestants, Bialik told the woman “No” and said, “That is Earl Sweatshirt.”

In the contestant’s defense, Bialik’s “hoodie” context clue may have thrown her off. Regardless, the moment went viral on social media as people had fun at her expense.
