Ready to Play 'Hip Hop Squares' With 'Screen Check' Stars?

Everybody loves game shows, but if you're like us, you've always felt there was one major thing missing from pretty much every game show around: Rap stars.

Well, guess what?

Next Tuesday, MTV2 is launching a brand new game show called "Hip Hop Squares" featuring some of the biggest names in rap testing their knowledge — and, to get ready for it, we've gone behind the scenes to pick their brains for a very special series of "Screen Check" interviews. Face it: This is the one you've been waiting for.

The premise is simple: Just like the classic game show "Hollywood Squares," "Hip Hop Squares" takes a slew of today's hottest hip hop stars and teams them up with contestants to try and complete a human tic-tac-toe trivia board. But the game takes a back seat to the real raison d'etre for the show: The let your favorite rap stars banter and interact in a wild, off-the-cuff entertainment free-for-all.

Just how cool is "Hip Hop Squares" going to be? Well, take a look at our "Screen Check" clips with DJ Khaleed and Asher Roth and see for yourself. Hint: It's going to be very, very cool.
