Ego Trip and VH1’s Miss Rap Supreme seeks “a woman who will put female rap back on the map.” Is the next Kim, Foxy or Eve in the Fembassy Hotel? Rock Daily is watching, ma.
A Supreme Hour In Three Sentences: After shooting some targets at the Los Angeles Gun Club (Ms. Cherry — out on bond — had to sit this one out), the girls spit a 16-bar verse about bringing peace to the streets. Byata totally blanked (”uh huh. yeah. we gotta do it for the children”), Ms. Cherry stumbled on her words and Rece Steel stared at her feet. Chiba was the only femcee that brought it, so of course now was the perfect time for everyone to jump down her throat at her about using pre-writtens.
Supreme Beef!: The Chiba vs. Everyone sass-off finally reached a fever pitch after it was revealed that she has been liberally reaching into her rhyme book. Rece threatens to stomp her and then angrily removes her earrings-though no fight, nor earring-toss, actually ensues. Byata eventually whines to Serch about it, but he was too busy yelling at all the girls for embarrassing themselves in the challenge, finally bringing back that caustic Serch energy we all loved in the White Rapper Show: “This is the best y’all bringing? Really? Really? Really?”
Step Off!: For the elimination challenge, the girls had to do 16 bars about their opinion on the B-word, including a thinly veiled dis rant about her housemate from the still-fuming Byata (if you missed the subtext, the editors made sure to cut to Chiba’s face about 20 times). Chiba was ultimately told to step off since her rhyme was wildly off-topic, making even Serch and Yo-Yo wonder if it was something she wrote before even setting foot in the Fembassy.
Supreme Wager!: The season finale is next Monday; set your TiVo, as there’s a Roxanne Shante cameo! We’re putting our money on Ms. Cherry. She can paint a picture with her words like none other — providing she can remember them.
