"Get On Da Mic" is a video game for the PlayStation 2 published by Eidos. Unlike the many other singing games available for the PlayStation 2, this game focuses exclusively on Hip-Hop songs.

The game is based on karaoke singing in which an amateur singer sings a popular song while it plays with the vocals. The games are able to detect the pitch of the singer's voice and award points based on how well the singer matches the pitches they are supposed to be singing.

"Get On Da Mic" requires the use of the same kinds of microphones also used with the "Karaoke Revolution" games. A hand-held karaoke microphone made by Logitech is available in a bundle with the game and is also sold separately; Logitech also sells a microphone headset. The game is also EyeToy compatible, and it censors out swear or curse words.
