Hip-hop has a lot of unanswered questions. There are literal ones like, "Who killed 2Pac and Biggie?" There are philosophical ones like, "Does it matter that Rick Ross used to be a correctional officer?" Then there are debatable ones like, "What's the best rap album of all time?"
So of course, rappers love to ask questions in their songs, and oftentimes they get answers. For example, A Tribe Called Quest asked, "Can I kick it?" and quickly got a response: "Yes you can!" Puffy asked his talented pal, "How you living, Biggie Smalls?" and got a whole verse of answers from the notorious one.
However, there are many questions that were never meant to be answered. Rhetorical questions.
From Lil Jon screaming "WHAT?" to Eminem asking if you think he gives a damn about winning a Grammy, we took a look back at some of the best rhetorical questions in hip-hop history. You ready? Wait, don't answer that.
