Celebrity Rap Superstar is an American reality show which premiered on MTV on August 30, 2007. The series was hosted by Kevin Hart and Liz Hernandez.
The series features 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.
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.
The judges' least favorite pairing battled it out while performing Fabolous's "Can't Let You Go" featuring Lil Mo to determine who gets eliminated. Lil Mo guest starred to provide her vocals.
The elimination results for the week are given during the next show. For example, The elimination results for Week 1's show was revealed during Week 2's show.
To avoid confusion: The results revealed for that week's performance is recorded below as is.
During week 4, the votes were tallied and each contestant was ranked. The ranking had no effect on the outcome of elimination but was used to pair the contestants off (1st with 6th, 2nd with 5th, and 3rd with 4th).
