Rhythm + Flow

So Cardi B, Snoop Dogg, TI and Chance the rapper, are auditioning the next big Hip hop star. I feel what they are doing. Chance, Snoop and TI seem to be Dead honest in their criticism of those trying out. Cardi B though, I just don't see what she brings to the proceedings.

Those trying out vary in quality. But that is life right?

A lot of bad reviews for this show are from non hip-hop fans.

I think the celebrity judges were more fixated on superfical criteria to judge the contestants on than actual skill. Too many people got cut IMO that had real skill vs. the ones that just looked "right".

It's a good concept, I just wish it were a lot less focused on things that don't actually matter. I won't add any spoilers, you can see for yourself why I have my own pet peeves with the show. It's still on Netflix.

Contrary to what some reviews say, I'm not into hip-hop and rap but I enjoyed the show a lot. It can benefit from one improvement next season - replacing Cardi B with a female rapper who actually has something to say. Cardi is a waste of judge chair. Not only was I disappointed in her, but I felt that casting her did a disservice to female rappers who can articulate their opinion and contribute with valuable critique. I see the attempt to increase viewership by inviting her, but she brought nothing to the table.

I'm only 2 episodes in but I am hooked! They couldn't have picked better judges for this show and the guest judges are great.
