University of Dope is the Only Good Card Game About Rap
If you’re here on our site, you probably have more than one suspect rap opinion in your head that only comes out after a few drinks. Well, we’re proud to tell you that there is a card game that is specifically designed for that situation.
This isn’t a paid plug, we’re just fans of University of Dope. It’s like Cards Against Humanity except not, because it’s not terrible. Similar in structure though, with prompts for outlandish answers that are all hip hop related. Prompts are read, hot takes are fired off in response, and the whole room votes on the “right” answer. If you had the “wrong” answer, you drink. Simple as that.
The founders, A.V. Perkins and Marian “Skinni Bee” Andoh got the idea for the game when A.V. asked Marian to name all the members of Wu-Tang while drunk...something we’ve all attempted, but very few of us turned it into a successful honest-to-god card game.
BBO and UDope connected when AV came on our podcast to discuss the film DOPE (aka the film that takes place in the same cinematic universe as THE WOOD aka the film where Tyga has a monologue about drone strikes) and play a few rounds of the game itself.
A few years after that, the team created a live-streamed game show version of UDope and had Ryan on as a contestant. Against all odds, he won...despite not having seen DEAD PRESIDENTS...a handicap he has since remedied.
Anyway, the point of this post is to shout out a longtime friend of the show, and to direct you to the official University of Dope site where you can buy an updated version of the game we played on the episode, so buy it for you and your friends, pour something up and get ready to drink when no one agrees that Dame Dash would be a terrible road trip co-pilot
