Hip Hop Squares is an American television game show originally hosted by Peter Rosenberg, which debuted on MTV2 on May 22, 2012.

The series is executive produced by rapper and actor Ice Cube and hosted by DeRay Davis.

The Secret Square (renamed the "G-Spot") takes place in round two, with a $1,000 cash bonus awarded for correctly answering the question (but does not count towards the player's score).

If time runs out in the middle of a round, each square on the board is worth $100 and the contestant with the higher score wins.

[2] Two celebrities associated with the hip hop music genre play the game and win money for members of the studio audience.

In addition, each captured square is worth a random cash amount revealed when a star is chosen.

Squares on the game board randomly flash, which is then stopped using a button pressed by the team.

In the round, the audience member chooses three celebrities to form a tic-tac-toe on the board.

The show began taping on April 4, 2012 and recorded 20 episodes at Steiner Studios throughout the month.
