- February 11, 2019
In this episode of Rate The Bars, host Big Tigger brings together a panel of hip-hop experts to rate the bars of some of the hottest names in the rap game. The panel consists of DJ Diamond Kuts, rapper Young Nudy, and manager Kevin Liles.
The show opens with Big Tigger introducing the panel and explaining the concept of the show to the viewers. He then presents the first set of bars for rating, which belong to Megan Thee Stallion. The panel unanimously agrees that Megan’s bars are fire, with Diamond Kuts praising her confidence and flow and Kevin Liles stating that she “stays true to her brand.”
Next up is Lil Nas X, whose bars are deemed less impressive than Megan’s by the panel. Young Nudy points out that Lil Nas X’s bars are more about the beat than the lyrics, while Diamond Kuts argues that his bars are catchy and memorable.
The third set of bars come from Kendrick Lamar, whom the panel universally agrees is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. “Kendrick is the gold standard,” says Kevin Liles, while Young Nudy admits that he sometimes needs to listen to Kendrick’s bars multiple times to fully understand them.
The panel also rates bars from rising stars like Polo G, 42 Dugg, and Roddy Ricch. While each artist is praised for their unique style and delivery, the panel is also careful to point out areas where they could improve. “He can work on his metaphors,” says Diamond Kuts of 42 Dugg.
Throughout the episode, the panel discusses the importance of originality in rap and how artists can stand out in a crowded field. Kevin Liles emphasizes the need for artists to have a strong brand and to be true to themselves, while Diamond Kuts encourages artists to be fearless and take risks with their lyrics.
The show ends with Big Tigger asking each panelist to rate the bars of a mystery artist, whose identity is only revealed once all the ratings have been given. The artist turns out to be Nicki Minaj, and the panel is unanimous in their praise for her bars. “Nicki is the queen,” says Young Nudy.
Overall, this episode of Rate The Bars is a must-watch for anyone interested in hip-hop and the art of lyricism. The panel provides insightful commentary and critical analysis of each set of bars, while Big Tigger keeps the energy high with his infectious enthusiasm.
