101 Hip Hop/Rap Trivia Questions for All You Hip Hop Heads

Do you have in-depth knowledge of solo projects by the Wu-Tang Clan’s different members? Can you recite Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics in your sleep? Do you know how little Lil Wayne actually is? If so, you might be ready to try your luck with this hip hop/rap trivia quiz.

Although hip hop is a relatively young genre, it’s one of the most commercially successful and artistically refined music genres today. What makes the genre so distinct is its extreme diversity: there are funny ballads and deathly serious songs, party beats and contemplative dirges, bars that celebrate everything that feels good, and songs that mourn injustice. 

Naturally, this means that hip hop and rap are genres with an extremely passionate fanbase that is ready to fight for their favorite artists. If you’re one of them, test your knowledge with these hip hop/rap trivia questions and answers. 

When you’re finished with the quiz, take a whirl with these trivia quizzes about music trivia questions, pop music, and 2000s music quizzes.
