I'm not a big fan of TV and I'm not a big fan of leaving reviews unless it really sucked or it was beyond expectations! I don't like to waste my time on ridiculous things! So with that being said... This show is spectacular. I like everyone but Supa Peach who is a major brat and rude. Lil poopy, he's a cute kid but most of the time it seems he doesn't even care. Everyone else takes in information and strives for it. Worth watching... Worth rating

I really liked season 2 over season one but I am disappointed in who JD picked as the winner of season 2. Lil Key should of won. There is no way Mani is better than Lil Key and Nia Kay. That's garbage. Mani did kill his last performance but Mani for real. JD you trippin.

I am not really into rap per se, however, I enjoyed this season. I believe that Deedranada should of won though. She showed growth and she had the best bars. I think Deedranada was stronger than Nova because she didn't have the exposure and assistance like nova did from his brother. She was the true winner to me. Nova had all the backing and Nova had all the women in the crowd. His brother gave him some strong ideas and Deedranada didn't have that but still was strong! Well, that's my opinion anyway.
