Which notorious icon was the first woman to threaten to “throw shade, if I can’t get paid, blow you up to your girl like the Army grenade?” If you answered Lil Kim while rapping to yourself the lyrics to the 90’s hit single, “Crush On You,” then you’ll love the new pop culture trivia board game, “Say It Loud!”

The game's creator, Jacqueta Bess, designed the board game with black culture in mind. The trivia encompasses decades of black music, movies, television, and literature. The game requires a minimum of five players, a host and two teams of at least two people, and the goal is to spell out the phrase, “S-A-Y-I-T.” Here’s how it works:

1. The host reads a clue

2. The first team to shake their maraca and answer the question correctly wins a letter

3. The first team to spell out “Say It” wins the round.

4. The first team to win three rounds wins the game.

In an interview with Madame Noire, Bess said the inspiration for the game derived directly from her childhood. She remembers taking road trips with her dad and singing along with the radio. Her dad would playfully say to her, “You don’t know nothin’ ‘bout that. I’ll give you a dollar if you can tell me who’s singing.” Fast forward a few years and Bess is hoping to collect several dollars to put the board game into mass production with the launch of her Kickstarter campaign on April 1st. If funding is successful, “Say It Loud!” will premiere just in time for the Labor Day cookout.

The board game even won a shout out from Evelyn From The Internets as part of her 2016 favorite black things.
