The latest episode of NBC's beloved game show Jeopardy! wrapped with a nod to one of rap's most intense feuds.

During this week's show, the "Diss-Track-Tions" category featured an $800 clue that contestant Isaac confidently tackled.

The prompt read: "In May 2024, These 2 Competitors Went Back and Forth With Tracks like 'Family Matters' and 'Meet the Grahams.'"

Clearly brushed up on his rap knowledge, Isaac answered, "Who are Kendrick Lamar and Drake?"

In previous episodes, Jeopardy! has featured clues about rappers like Megan Thee Stallion ("'Classy, Bougie & Ratchet' and 'Sassy, Moody, Nasty,' says this No. 1 hit by Megan Thee Stallion") and Cam'Ron ("Rapper Cam'Ron had a pink one of these alliterative super-SUVs, but it sold as it got too much attention"). So, it's no surprise the show wanted to highlight this historical rap moment. The timing was perfect, as Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The "Diss-Track-Tions" category also included prompts about old rivals like Jay-Z and Nas ("The Title of This Hate Letter from Nas to Jay-Z That Shares its Name With an Anesthetic Drug Now Means 'To Insult Publicly'"), The Notorious B.I.G. vs. 2Pac, The Game vs. Eminem, and 50 Cent vs. Cam'Ron.
