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 Four Sentences: Veteran Khia demanded respect last week, even going so far as rhyming “respect me” with “respect me” a dozen times and calling it her sixteen-bar challenge. Whatever respect she gained was lost a mere three minutes into this episode when the Miss Rap Supreme staff discovered her entire challenge verse was lifted from “Respect Me” (of course), a song from her 2006 album Gangstress. So German reim-spitter Lionezz got a second chance and the nine remaining femcees entered the So Seductive Rap Challenge, rhyming about “what’s personally seductive and alluring to you” (something co-host Yo-Yo did just fine without ever doing) in front of the ladies at the Moonshadow lesbian bar. We barely noticed the change in scenery since there’s already so much gratuitous kissing on this show.
Supreme Beef!: After Byata blew a couple of lines in the challenge, Chiba quietly crept into her bedroom and said, “I don’t want you take offense to anything I’m about to say,” as if there were any other way to take anything that comes after. She confronts Byata again after overhearing her write what she feels is a spiteful dis rap. And — in what seems to be the way beefs are squashed on this show — it was settled with a quick kiss. That’s how Nas and Jay-Z made up, right?
Step Off!: After spilling their turn-ons to the ladies at the Moonshadow, the girls have to rap about their turn-offs to avoid elimination. Lionezz avoided the topic altogether, as well as occasionally avoiding the English language (”You can’t get rid of me/Like some epitome”), but the soft and timid D.A.B. came as flaccid as the members she was complaining about and was politely told to leave.
Hey Ladies!: To fulfill VH1’s thirty-second minimum for random sexual content in every one of their shows, Nicky kindly humped a blow-up doll to the strains of the Force MDs’ “Tender Love.”
