Celebrity Rap Superstar was an American reality show which premiered on MTV on August 30, 2007. It featured eight rappers teaching eight celebrities to be able to perform rap songs, which in turn were voted on by the viewers. The judges had the power in various weeks to choose one or more celebrities to be safe from voting and move forward to the following week's round. The celebrity with the lowest votes from the viewers would be eliminated from the competition. The judges panel consisted of DMC, Da Brat and Big Boy. The hosts were comic Kevin Hart and radio personality Liz Hernandez. It was broadcast live on some Thursdays, 10:00 PM Eastern and tape-delayed on others until some controversies arose during the competition that ultimately led to the remainder of the season being broadcast live.
