"It's so exciting," Queen Latifah said of the new show. "All these kids have developed huge followings on Twitter or Instagram. Now it's time to get into the real rap game. We got Jermaine Dupri, one of our friends for many years, to be the head honcho of this thing. He's the one who brought you Da Brat, Bow Wow, Kris Kross, he worked with TLC - everybody, you name it, in Atlanta. It's going to be fun to watch."
Before they talked about "The Rap Game" Queen recounted a hilarious New Year's Eve story involving Jimmy Fallon, Michael Jackson and a baby. Check it out:
