“Recite the first four bars of Biggie’s 1994 hit ‘Juicy.’”

This was among the first questions posed to contestants in the opening round of JeoparDMC, a hip-hop trivia game held last Sunday night at the Dorchester Brewing Company.

Bakari JB, a Roxbury-based artist and one of three contestants chosen to compete in the game, buzzed in.

“It was all a dream,” he began confidently. “I used to read Word Up! magazines…”

He hesitated. For a moment, silence filled the packed room. Then, the crowd erupted in incredulous laughter, prompting Bakari to hide his face in feigned shame.

Moments later, the audience filled in the missing lyrics themselves, chanting in unison: “Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine…”

The faux-pas was one of several gaffes prompted by the event, which was organized by Jelani Haynes and Bernard Johnson--founding members of Dot-based rap duo The Hangaz to celebrate the release of their latest EP, “The Homage Project,” an ode to 90s rap music and hip hop culture.

“We chose to recreate and honor some obscure and some well-known 90s records that helped to shape our upbringing and artistry,” explained Haynes, the self-proclaimed “button masher” of the duo who produced every track on the project from scratch.

Sunday night’s event marked the second iteration of JeoparDMC, a game invented by Haynes and Johnson, who debuted it earlier this year at the Boston Public Library in Copley with the help of a grant from the Mass Hip Hop Archive.

The duo hopes to make the game a regular, rotating event at different BPL branches around the city. No dates have been set yet, but Johnson says potential locations could include the Codman Square Library and the Grove Hall Library.

“Wherever people will pick us up to do it, I’m down to do it,” said Johnson, who built the wooden set and also served as host of the game show.

Clue categories included “Rap-cronyms,” “Beat-capella,” “Hip-hop scotch,” and “Hip the Script.” Correct answers received a Lil Jon “Yeah!” from the DJ, while incorrect responses were hit with a James Brown “That ain’t right!” With these DJ-cued sound bites and song sample clues, Haynes and Johnson aim to make the game fun and interactive for those watching. And if the shouts and laughter were any indication, fun was indeed had by all.

“It seemed like people were really interested in it, you know, I think they really enjoyed themselves,” said Johnson.
