Rap Sh!t

Issa Rae's humor and talent shines once again through black comedy series writing. Representing female rappers, friendship and ad(dick)tion Rap Sh! T plays as a watchful day to day comedy drama through the double entendre of a camera and an iphone camera.

I could not stand the presentation and flow. The IG/FB Stories style was difficult to deal with. The way they speak is way too Zoomer for me LOL, guess I'm getting old. Other than that I just couldn't get into it. If it wasn't constantly showing phone screens and the IG/FB Story type of presentation then I might have been able to stick with it, but I had to stop watching.

The narrative is hard to follow and I don't care about any of the characters. The part of all humans that connects us is missing. It's too niche. And kind of shallow. It's kinetic. Personally I need something to hold on to, a character or actress I like, a goal I'm waiting to get to in the drama, a revelation I sense might be coming. I feel bad that it's Issa Rae and it's not speaking to me in any way.

As a huge fan of Insecure, I was excited to watch this show. I know it wasn't going to be exactly like it, but still I was so anxious to watch it. It is mostly shot through someone's phone or camera, which is different but got annoying after awhile. The two main actresses had no character development what so ever. All they could do was rap and have intercourse in every episode. There wasn't anything to look forward to during this show, no cliffhangers , no anticipation of what would happen the next episode, nothing. It's like a wanna be P-Valley except P-Valley has more interesting plots to go with Murda trying to improve his music career. And more characters with actual back stories! I'm 26 and I don't even record every single thing in my life the people were doing in this show. Super cliché of what they think all younger people do.

I'm gonna be honest - these aren't the best actors and some of it IS cliche BUT it's highly entertaining! The behavior seems spot on for the rappers they are portraying. It has potential to last because of all the places the story can go. Something light to pass the time with a few chuckles sprinkled in.
