MTV2 has announced plans to revive Hollywood Squares as Hip Hop Squares, putting a modern twist on the classic game show.
According to EW, the show, which sees contestants answering trivia questions and looking to talent for help in figuring out clues, will feature Nick Cannon, Bam Margera, Kat Graham, DJ Khaled, Biz Markie, Ghostface Killah, Fat Joe, Mac Miller, Machine Gun Kelly and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lamarr Woodley.
“They cross the spectrum from musicians and celebrities to athletes and causal fans of hip hop,” says Paul Ricci, MTV2′s programming chief. “The show will refresh an iconic format and create a fun, dynamic series that’s unpredictable, heavy on personality and much more ‘party’ than ‘game show’.”
The show will have a 10-episode run on MTV2 beginning on May 22 at 11 p.m. A second 10-episode block will air at a later date.

shit sounds corny as fuck
GHOSTFACE & BIZ MARKIE =good
Ghost should talk about his fag son on the show. SMH.
Why the hell do you even care about his son.
LaMarr Woodley? Michigan 4ever
This sounds ridiculous!
it does sound ridiculous but i think thats the idea. hip hop is allowed to be funny if its wants sometimes, hell, look at nikki minaj. she is a hilarious joke. I will peep it when it airs
sounds like it will be funny.I used to watch the shit as a kid so rappers doing it will be either funny or horrible
Whose gonna be the host, Mike Epps?
that would b dope Mike Epps is funny as hell dont matter what hes sayin
ghostface is the greatest rapper of all time, dead or alive..Iron Man and Supreme Clientele both classic solo albums..never dropped a wack album in his life..and he contributed greatly to the best rap group of all time, the almighty Wu Tang Clan..pay your respects to da god
Ghostface? Don’t make me die from laughter. He’s got zero clout in hip hop.
You have zero clout in life
LMAO! Funniest burn I’ve heard all week!
LMAO @ bennemeth, impeccable timing
ghost might have some of the most in hip hop where the fuck have you been in 20 years?weirdo as dude you havent heard classic wu albums?smh why are you on a hip hop site?
casual fans? how the heck do they get chosen? I know more than most of them.
Epic Fail fail fail fail fail fail…*fades to black*
Damn this is going to be good. Hopefully they get some real ass mcs on there like Jedi Mind Tricks, Slain, Canibus, Immortal Technique, and others. Still either way it sounds pretty good.
they wont.
Shut the fuck up…Underground dickriding weirdo. Why would they be on this?
You Must Be A mainstream cocksucker. The underground is the shit you faggot
You must JUST be getting into the underground…..immortal tech, jedi mind tricks and canibus are made fun of by real underground heads lol
yeah they kinda as mainstream as you get without being on the radio. only people who bump Immortal Technique and call it underground are white suburb folk.
It’s s Hip-Hop show and they play Flo Rida…
What the fuck is wrong with u?
hip hop and your playing fucking flo rida , this is a disgrace , the only good thing i saw was biz markie
you hit it right on the head man this is a disgrace to even call it hip hop squares.biz and ghost would be the only reason id watch it.
