MTV2 Hip Hop is a hip hop-themed show that airs on MTV2 at 6 pm.
In 2002, MTV2 introduced a new show called MTV2 Hip Hop, hosted by Lala and DJ Clue, which aired at 10 pm and Midnight every weeknight.
Until 2005, the show's format was stable; Lala and DJ Clue would talk about hip hop-related events and artists and show popular current music videos. In 2003 Amanda Diva replaced Lala and DJ Clue to host the show.
After a relaunch in 2005, the show was renamed simply "Hip Hop Show", though on Mondays it would be called "Monday's Hip Hop", and so on for the other days of the week. DJ Clue is now the sole host. During the show, one rapper or group will be interviewed, usually during the week of release for the artist's new album or movie, and there may clips shown of other rappers. It is the only show on MTV2 that shows new hip hop videos every day.
As on many other MTV2 programs, DJ Clue and the guests ignore the cameras.
As of March 6, 2005 MTV2 Hip Hop's name was changed to "Sucker Free", but still followed the same format.
