So, I'm currently watching Unpretty Rapstar and am waiting for the results in the finale. 

I'm a pretty huge fan of Yuk Jidam from SMTM3 and my love for Cheetah and Jessi is just ermagerhd yass~

 

But, I'm having this little problem with the semifinals...

 

Being that I'm a total fan of Bobby, Zico, Rap Mon, etc. I am all for idols getting recognition in the khiphop scene and think it shouldn't be frowned upon as much as it is.

 

That being said, I like Jimin and think she has a chance at being something in the khip-hop realm if she can manage to shed the whole 'idol' image from her rapping.

 

Now, the problem that I have with the semifinals is that...Well, you have artists like Cheetah, Jolly V, Jessi, and Jidam who worked hard on writing an entire song for themselves and then you have Jimin and Kisum who got someone to feature...

 

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with their performances (except Kisum's, I just...ew) but isn't it a bit messed up that they didn't do it solely on their own like everyone else did? I mean yeah - Jessi had Gray help her with her song, and Cheetah had her friends help and even Jolly V had SouLime produce a song for her, but none of them had any help with their performances like Jimin and Kisum.

 

I just think the producers of the show should've stated that it was strictly a solo stage to prevent the issue of having someone win - SPOILER: Cheetah won, yeah. But still - just because they had someone cool featuring.

 

I know this was a rant that probably not all of you agree with, but I just had to let it out in some way because it was really irritating me.

I don't have a problem with the featuring, lots of artists collaborate, but I can also see where you're coming from. I do have a problem with jimin though. She wants to be recognized and respected, but she is so babied and cries all the time, and is hella sneaky. The girl doesn't know much about hiphop either, since detox still hasn't been released.
