The Rap Game Season 5

So.... I don't know if y'all have been tuning in to The Rap Game this season, but if you haven't...you should! I'm gone go ahead and tell y'all a little bit about the cast and what I think about the show! This season there were six contestants but in usual form there was only enough rooms in the house for five rappers and their managers. In week one the person who did not make the hit list was immediately sent home. First to go was Lil Richye and his "Momager" Cookie!

Lil Richye and Cookie

Lil Richye hails from none other than Charlotte, North Carolina. There is not much I can say about him other than he was kind of too cool for school! Richye stumbled on both challenges the first week and that is what ultimately got him sent home. Now here is the real tea! Richye's mom is named Cookie and supposedly people call her Cookie because her and her husband own a record label and they have three sons and lots of drama just like the Lyon family on the tv show Empire! Anyway, when Richye got sent home, Cookie went the eff off! She started yelling and got up and walked away while JD (Jermaine Dupri) was explaining his reason for the elimination. Talk about disrespectful!!!!! Cookie wouldn't even let Richye say goodbye to the other contestants! I think Richye is a pretty decent rapper, but with him being the youngest in the house it was just over whelming for him. I think we may see more of him when he's older.

Queen Amayah and her Dad

Amayah is from Miami Florida. She was my favorite one on the show. She is just a little insecure I would say. I feel like everybody bullies her. To me Amayah is the best rapper of all the kids lyrically. Amayah raps about social injustice and things that really mean something. She is definitely a threat... if she can remember her lyrics! It seems to me like she gets nervous and that's why she forgets. So this season, there is a rap battle every week between the housemates. Usually for the bottom two spaces. Amayah battles every week and really the only thing they can say is that she's overweight and she forgets her lyrics. I feel like as far as management she would benefit from somebody that pushes her harder. Her dad is very supportive but he could've been a little harder on her. One week she actually got the number one spot but everybody in the house was accusing her of using pre written lyrics because that was the only week she didn't mess up. I don't think the lyrics were pre written. So anyway, JD let Tyeler battle her to take her number one spot and she lost the battle and dropped to number 3! I don't think that was fair and I also think it broke her spirit, and that was something she really couldn't come back from. She was sent home in week 8. Amayah is a tremendous talent and I know we will see her again!

Eli comes from Chattanooga Tennessee, but don't let that fool you! Eli is a beast. He is raised by his father Dustin and his mom is an addict who is not really in his life. Dustin works as many as four jobs at a time to support Eli and his little brother (who has some serious health conditions). Even Eli has to work a job to help support the family! Eli sometimes forgets his lyrics too, and has been bullied in the house. There was an episode when Eli had to battle Nya and she went way below the belt! I mean she was downright disrespectful! She talked about his mom being an addict and even went in on his little brother being sick. It was by far the craziest battle in Rap Game history! Let me tell you, I felt so bad for the boy! I have watched the growth in Eli as the season has progressed. Eli was sent home in week nine, but I have a feeling with how determined he is, he will keep pressing on!

Nya is straight out of Detroit Michigan. I would describe her as very aggressive. Nya straight works on my nerves! I think she thinks that she is way better than she actually is! Now before y'all say it, I'm not hating on the girl! I hope the show is just editing her to make her look bad and she is actually not that bad, but I honestly don't think so. Her rapping is mediocre at best! I actually do like her mom Ebony though! Nya is very head strong and doesn't listen to her mother's advice and that sometimes gets her on the bottom of the hit list! She is always bullying Eli and Amayah but I feel its because she knows they are better than her. I already told y'all what t she did to Eli. It was disgusting and I hope she is remorseful! I do like her confidence when she doesn't over do it. I honestly don't know how far she will get if her attitude doesn't get a major adjustment!

Sire is from somewhere in Michigan but his mom Brandi moved their whole family (of 10) to Atlanta 2yrs ago just to try and get him on the show! Talk about hungry! Sire is very hyper. He talks nonstop and so does Brandi! The difference between the two is Sire is positive for the most part but Brandi is a nightmare! Brandi be straight bashing the other kids and has argued with almost every parent in the house! She accuses everybody of trying to be like her son. I feel so sorry for Sire as Brandi has basically put the responsibility of helping the whole family on his back. Hell, didn't nobody tell her to have 8 kids! Brandi needs to relax. I mean I'm all for pushing your child to be great but there is a such thing as pushing too far. Sire is a great rapper his raps are very deep and well thought out! I feel like sometimes Sire lets Nya drag him down into her pit of bullying! The one thing I don't like about Sire is that he was constantly harassing Amayah about her weight. I know Sire will make it because with Brandi as his "Momager", he has no choice lol.

Tyeler Reign and her mom London

Last but not least is Tyeler, from Los Angeles, California. Tyeler gets my vote for the winner of season 5. She is a great rapper and she has the most experience. Tyeler has already opened for Busta Rhymes and Silento and has more than 200 performances under her belt. London, who is Tyeler's "Momager " goes hard for her daughter. I love their relationship. This season London had a seizure and revealed to the cast that she has a brain tumor! It was both shocking and sad! Tyeler was basically Amayah's only friend in the house and she pretty much is a cool girl. Just like Sire however, she sometimes lets Nya pull her down! Whether she wins or not she will definitely go far in the music industry.

This week is the season finale and I'm anxious to find out who JD will choose to get the SO SO DEF chain and contract. Will it be Nya Kasan, Sire, or Tyeler Reign? Tune in tomorrow on Lifetime to find out!
