The judges panel consisted of [[Darryl McDaniels|DMC]], [[Da Brat]] and [[Big Boy (radio host)|Big Boy]]. The hosts were comic [[Kevin Hart (actor)|Kevin Hart]] and radio personality Liz Hernandez.
The series 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.
