MC Alex Trebek, Canada's Finest Spitting Rap Lyrics! Jeopardy! 1-6-2014

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek reads clues from the category, "It's A Rap."

[@SkyBlew]

Mary knows more about rap than most rappers lol

[@ReneBernardino]

"In Nuthin' But A G Thaaaang"

[@reeftiger6087]

hi

[@paudeline]

Reef Tiger Hi.

[@thepsychosoundscientist8140]

Easiest category ever.

[@CharlieB1989]

Alex Trebek, you're not just my friend you're also my buddy.

[@golo5000]

RIP Alex. We love you Alex Trebek.

[@yakovhadash]

Sarah was up late last night studying the history of the French revolution....

[@MrBOBWAZHERE]

Thats not fair, they were alive when these songs came out lol

[@martman104]

I love the way Trebek says the words: "Sleep" "slip" "ooo" "ahhh" "car"

[@rspencer718]

That was brilliant!

[@RullArch90]

"Mary, that first round was not a good one for you..." Thanks for reminding her. lol

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

i think he knew how stupid it would look for him to NOT rap these phrases

[@doug8598]

You go OOH and AHH when I jump in my CAHH

[@jmdj530]

THESE ARE SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!

[@L1011Widebody]

I don't know what's weirder, seeing Alex Trebek rap or the fact that I knew the answers to all of these.

[@ClaireRedwood]

This needs to be remixed to a sick beat. right now, somebody get on it!

[@inqilabzindabad3298]

Did Trebek give a shout-out to Dj Clue at the end?

[@zappedzach]

Trebek spittin straight BARS!

[@SJHamler]

Way to basically give them all of the questions in the answers...

[@fsgjafgja]

prettttty much lol way too easy

[@tristancbrown]

Most Jeopardy questions have two or three tips to the question in the answer- they just usually aren't so...popular...?

[@skipsch]

It was Melle Mel who said that. Grandmaster Flash was the DJ.

[@waiting4change1994]

This is awesome.

[@AeroMetalRush]

I just saw this episode while on my cruise last week. Funny that I found it this fast againj

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

Eric n Mary was fightin for that buzzer 😂

[@kennygr8ify]

I remember this some Season 30!

[@86cnrs]

Alex Trebek has some mad skills

[@lilwyvern4]

Not sure what's funnier, Kebert Xela having no idea what rapping is or that soccer mom-looking woman who seemed quite well-versed (see what I did there?) in rappers' names.

[@Flashpoint922]

So every rap fan has to be a thugged out gangsta to enjoy hip hop? Close minded of you to think

[@lilwyvern4]

Flashpoint922 I never intended it that way; I merely stated that she doesn't look like your typical rap listener.

[@crateoz]

Its just a matter of time before some makes a remake of this

[@devydev3112]

1:08 When your son's rap music helped you study for jeopardy.

[@destinweirdo]

Sarah wasn't even ready lol

[@rnfr]

You Know You Hate My 98! YOURE GONNA GET YOURS!!! Probably my favorite all time Hip Hop track.

[@heavyandmelodic]

good stuff!

[@GuyFromTallahassee]

Eric was kicking himself so hard over there.

[@PhilaDehlia]

Gansta Trebek!

[@hughjassole2268]

She was laughing cause those were her jams

[@LGKids]

I love the way they are giving out all hints and the way Rap Master Mary knows her MCees!lol! If I slip, then I'm slippin, all gonna be on the 2014 remix album by Old Dirty Alex!lol! Peace!

[@IkuyaMusic]

Grandmaster Flash didn't rap that line, Melle Mel did, Flash was the founder and DJ of the group but Melle Mel wrote and performed (read: rapped) the vocals on The Message from which those lyrics are quoted.

[@lukaszepesi]

Damn that lady knows a lot about rap music :).

[@Flashpoint922]

:)

[@mike2600]

Shouldn't the answer to the first question be Melle Mel?

[@Goat74]

Most definitely. I almost yelled at the TV last night. Almost.

[@MrKlevir1]

It definitely should, but I think they are going based on the artist name for the track "Grand Master Flash & The Furious 5- The Message" although all true Hip Hop heads know it was Melle Mel spitting the lyrics to the Message. Unfortunately by then Grand Master Flash was hardly part of the group, Sugar Hill records was just cashing in on the name.

[@ollieill1]

Joey Bravo I just recently learned about that hustle Sugar Hill records pulled on Grandmaster Flash. Insane, but at least he won the lawsuit. Similar to how in the '50s-'60s a producer would suggest a lyric change on one line for a famous singer or group and then 50% of the profit on unit sale for being "co-writer."

[@MrKlevir1]

Mr. Nice Guy Indeed!

[@calimf701]

Hell yes. I thought I was going to be the only one to think the same.

[@inqilabzindabad3298]

Mary...like a Boss!

[@ernestotv2966]

Nice

[@TXDogg83]

Ohh man I'd ace this category

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Michigan International Speedway plays "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" at the end of the NASCAR races.

[@khaliarobinson1925]

i luv it! lol

[@showmethedammovie]

Usually they get buzzed. Some was who not what, and it's where the questions were wrong Alex!

[@cgtactical6619]

I'm sorry but jroc is Canada's greatest rapper

[@atyomommashouse9881]

Trabis ==( 0 )---( 0 )== Jroc you a better straighten Panama Jack the fuck __ out right now

[@tmo5688]

The group was called Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. So I's assuming they were using the group name and not singling out Melly Mel.

[@dylanjaure]

Straight outta Québec

[@CJTellsJokes]

The answer: This Canadian-born game show host moonlights as a rapper by the name of "Canadian Mista".

[@JJB11]

#RIPAlexTrebek Rest in peace, homeboy!

[@xAreuto]

Sarah is like “I guess I gotta listen to Kendrick”

[@ollieill1]

I cringed a little bit when they gave credit to Grandmaster Flash, the DJ pioneer, instead of Melle Mel, a pretty famous M.C. who is upfront right there in the video.

[@hardbackwriter57]

Based Trebek

[@KraneAudra]

Hill-Larry-Us!!!

[@estebanx]

This is lovely. But Grandmaster Flash never was a rapper (he is a DJ), and it was Grandmaster Melle Mel who rapped the lines referred to in the first clue.

[@breakthings]

Grandmaster flash was the DJ, not the MC. Sorry Alex.

[@edwardgaines6561]

He just died today, you jerk!

[@REVAMPtheindustry]

If jeopardy was all rap the world would be a better place.. Alex Trebek should also be wearing a batman costume at all times.

[@justint9690]

Damnit Sarah.

[@gasser5001]

HA! i knew them all! dunno why im proud of that...but i am!

[@virgin5415]

I would fail all of these.

[@SVanTha]

time to songify

[@mikecarter8278]

those questions were too easy.

[@Eyetrauma]

Who *is* Notorious B.I.G.? Clearly the people on Jeopardy know more than we realize.

[@kwamblackmon3937]

Damn Mary, You did AWESOME. You had me on the 2nd to last question i thought it was Snoop but its Dr.Dre.. I know one thing tho, Mary has some blacks friends from back in the day lol

[@awesomepunk157]

i watched this on tv O.o

[@1234phil12345]

same laughed so much so glad to find it on youtube

[@fsgjafgja]

the only one i didn't know was the Beastie Boys question xp darn lol

[@jackattack20000]

I think he meant WHERE is Brooklyn :)

[@carynull757]

What's up with Mary laughing? Or I suppose a better way to put it is... Mary, Mary, why you buggin'?

[@guibox3]

I think she was giggling because Alex started to get a little rhythm and twang at the end of that last one.

[@SusieEaston]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAh 54 seconds!!!

[@GreatBlueKnight]

What the lol haha

[@princedean1197]

omg

[@BlueglazeDesign]

and then came the remix: vimeo.com/83619080

[@jvaldez97]

The contestants must have gotten some prior study material I doubt they knew any of the responses from prior knowledge.

[@terrybarr8635]

Koo! G-chit lol

[@layzah568]

0:21 but it was melle mel

[@nathanielbenoit7840]

Came here looking for the SNL version, however not disapointed

[@johnthemangood8700]

Man in some alternate reality trebek is probably as big as Jay z

[@jiggatnk]

Poor sarah

[@NickGrevas]

Somebody get schmoyoho!!!

[@MSP10julia]

Wish he joined with Lil Wayne and Eminem

[@Philly191233]

the asian is just lyke "rap what is that" -_-

[@1234phil12345]

PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE A REMIX YOU WILL GET A SHITTON OF VIEWS EVERYONE KNOWS IT I SHOULDN'T BE GIVING THIS IDEA AWAY BUT I AM.

[@showmethedammovie]

Maybe I heard wrong. My bad

[@joemonroe2249]

I think i know why she's laughing. lol

[@experiment0003]

this is one time that white lady on the left wished she were black.

[@DSOXBLADE]

WTF did I just watch???

[@tripjet999]

Alex knows that "rap" is just missing the "C" at the beginning of the word.

[@layzah568]

that wasn't funny nor was it original

[@rollacosta41]

how did that white lady know who notorious big was

[@paudeline]

Because she is smarter than you.

[@rollacosta41]

probably. but I would not be concerned about knowing who a rapper is....because that definitely dictates how smart one is.

[@paudeline]

It sure does. I bet you don't even know who Tupac is.

[@28brasco88]

Sarah doesn't listen to rap.

[@johnjingleheimer2299]

Somehow this is the whitest thing I've ever seen.

[@thejimmyzshow]

How freakin' stupid is all this. Not that game shows really matter, but at least Jeopardy used to be about INTELLECT. Good grief.
