Guess the Rapper from the Type Beat

*Guess the Rapper from the Type Beat* is a segment on the HIVEMIND channel featuring a guessing game between Riley and one of his two cohosts, Graydon or Dignan, in which DJ Grant plays the participants royalty-free "type beats" from YouTube, and each must guess the name of the rapper or artist that is listed in the title of the beat. One point is awarded for each correct answer, and the participant with the most points at the end of the video wins the game.
