Rate The Bars Season 2 Episode 3 Rate The Bars With Problem

In this latest episode of Rate The Bars, host Nadeska Alexis is joined by rapper Problem to rate the bars of some of his peers in the industry. As always, the show starts with an explanation of the rating system and how it works. Nadeska and Problem will each rate the bars on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.

The first artist they rate is J. Cole. Nadeska reads out a verse from his song "Middle Child" and the two begin to weigh in. They both agree that J. Cole's delivery is impeccable and his wordplay is strong. Problem gives the bars a 4.5 and Nadeska gives it a solid 4.

Next up is Megan Thee Stallion, whose verse from "Cash Shit" is on the chopping block. Problem immediately jumps in with enthusiasm, praising her flow and energy. Nadeska comments on the sexually explicit nature of the bars, but still gives it a high rating of 4.5. Problem rates it even higher, giving it a 5, stating that her bars are "talking that shit".

They then move on to rate the bars from Lil Wayne's "Mona Lisa" featuring Kendrick Lamar. Problem listens intently, bobbing his head to the beat, and says "Kendrick Lamar, you doing it again." Both he and Nadeska appreciate the storytelling elements of the verse, but they differ slightly in their ratings. Nadeska gives it a 4.5, while Problem gives it a straight 5.

The fourth artist they rate is DaBaby, whose verse from "Bop" is up next. Nadeska notes how the beat actually changes during his verse, impressing both her and Problem. They both agree that DaBaby's delivery and confidence are on point, but the bars themselves are slightly lacking compared to the previous three artists. Nadeska gives it a 3.5 while Problem gives it a 4.

Finally, they wrap up the episode by rating the bars of Problem himself. He chooses a verse from his song "Finito" featuring Bad Lucc, and both he and Nadeska listen closely. Problem explains the meaning behind some of the bars, which involve his loyalty to his friends and family. Nadeska notes the intensity in his delivery and the emotion he puts into his words. Both give it high ratings, with Nadeska giving it a 4.5 and Problem giving it a 5, of course.

Overall, the episode is a fun and informative look at how rappers rate each other's bars. It's clear that Nadeska and Problem have a strong appreciation for the art form and a respect for the skills of their peers. Fans of hip hop and rap will enjoy this episode and may even discover some new artists to listen to.
