Watch Conway & Westside Gunn “Rate The Bars†(Video)
January 31, 2020
Bwaaahaaa! Y’all put Iggy’s bars on the bill for Griselda to review?? What did you THINK they would say?!
The Hall ‘N Nash duo is drawn to raw, rap lyricism, and rank high for real street spitters like the late Prodigy, MF Doom and Young Dolph. But for Iggy Azalea, Skinyfromthe9 and others from the new rap generation, they aren’t so admirable.

Watch Common “Rate The Bars†(Video)
November 25, 2019
Hmm… You’d think Common would be a ‘tough room’ when it comes to being impressed by the bars. And if you think that will be the case on this ep of “Rate The Bars  Well… just watch.
Common comes through to rate bars from Black Thought, Kanye West and more!

Dave East rates Benny The Butcher, O.T. Genesis, Max B, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Lil Nas X, Cam’Ron and more in this episode of Rate The Bars! Whose bars is he feelin’?

Watch Drag-On “Rate The Bars†(Video)
July 4, 2019
Wow… I was VERY surprised at Drag-On’s ratings of the rap lyrics in this ep. Don’t wanna ruin the surprise for you, but expect to ask yourself about midway through, “Is this Drag-On? Fireman Drag? For really??”

Watch Benny The Butcher “Rate The Bars†(Video)
June 27, 2019
You already know Benny The Butcher is gonna cut through all nonsense and get right to business when he gives his analyses. Check out Benny on this “Rate The Bars” ep. And they risked him rating one of Conway’s rhymes? Let’s see how that goes…
Benny The Butcher is very impressed by some of the bars he’s reading.
– BETNetworks
It’s like dude knew all the dopest bars, or at least knew of their realness, before he finished reading them. Nice!

Watch Curren$y “Rate The Bars” (Video)
October 16, 2018
Ohhhh! Shout to BET for throwing the Na’Tee verse from her Cypher at dude for the review. Respek on Curren$y’s name for his evaluation of these barz!
Curren$y came into Rate the Bars of some great rappers. Giving huge props to B.G., Tyga, Wiz, and the late Mac Miller who he collab’d with.
– BETNetworks
(Realizing how old AND how much of a Sci-Fi GEEK I am, getting that ‘C3PO’ reference from the Mac Miller (RIP) verse right off… not even thinking it all the way through like Curren$y did. Hahaaa!)

Watch Onyx “Rate The Bars†(Video)
October 11, 2018
Ha! That’s why they evaluate these bars without being told who spit them. Honest appraisals of the lyricals. And these Onyx cats are HARD on the bars!
Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr from Onyx came in to rate some bars. They also rated themselves a much deserved 5.

Watch CyHi The Prynce “Rate The Bars” (Video)
March 5, 2018
CyHi said Black Thought was ‘on his level’ and rated him 5 out of 5. The Prynce gave his own bars a 20, by the way. Said Kanye’s bars were ‘god level’ and was impressed with Vic Mensa. Cool.

Watch Redman “Rate The Bars” Of Some Of The Hottest Emcees (Video)
January 29, 2018
Okay, I will ‘disclaim’ it before B-E-T or even R-E-D can… all these spitters were not the hotness. But once again, there will be some moments where fave rappers’ rhymes get downgraded while otherwise mid-level wordsmiths’ rhymes get some shine.
Of course, he gave his own bars 5 out of 5 #JustSaying #NotMadTho

T.I. Is Not Really Impressed With The Bars He’s Rating (Video)
January 22, 2018
Wait. He ranked Iggy’s bars higher than WHOSE???? Okay, let that breathe. But besides that, it seems to take a lot (a WHOLE lot) to impress T.I. when it comes to lyricism. Downrating some of everyone from his artists to Tupac to himself. Wowwww!

N.O.R.E. ‘Rate The Bars’ For Cardi B, 2 Chainz And Ja Rule (Video)
August 7, 2017
Can’t quite say he pulls no punches because N.O.R.E. seemed to pull some punches on this. All good though, because dude is as highly entertaining as always in this clip of him scoring some of the rap music out.
N.O.R.E. the Queens rapper who’s famous for his albums and podcast DrinkChamps has great ratings and explanations for Cam’ron, Ja Rule, Famous Dex, Madeintyo, and 2Chainz.

Watch Royce Da 5’9 ‘Rate The Bars’ (Video)
July 31, 2017
Some of the ‘ratings’ on this clip surprised me a bit, but others were right on par with what I thought Royce would rate. Still a great content concept and I agree with the scores for the most part.

Watch Joe Budden ‘Rate The Bars’ (Video)
May 22, 2017
This is stupid trash… and I’m sorry…
– Joe Budden
Bwaaaahahaaaa! I kinda expected frankness and shots from Jumpoff Joe. And he certainly delivers. What makes it funny, extra funny, is that he remains super-mellow while giving out the ratings.
Awesome that Budden knows half the emcees by their bars, too.

Watch Remy Ma ‘Rate The Bars’ (Video)
May 19, 2017
Wow, Remy Ma is RAW! Weezy scores a 2. She recorded with Montana and he got the lowest score she could give. Zero for Fabolous and Joe Buddens, too. EVERYBODY can get it!
Interesting. Remy gave higher than expected rank to enemy-as-of-late Nicki Minaj. Seems like true ratings can come through when you cannot match the lyrics to Hip-Hop’s Who’s Who. Bars matter, not an emcee’s so-called ‘status’ in the game.
