My man said "It rhymes and it's talking about things."

"It rhymes and it's talking about things" T.I on Iggy Azalea 2018

So why’d u sign iggy? TI: “it rhymes and it talks about things”

the fact he rated himself a 3.5 just shows how much he’s lookin at the bars. Giving them what they deserve

One of the most realistic bars rating I've seen. Garbage is garbage, he even rated himself a 3.5

"It rhymes... and it's talking about things..." That's a perfect description of some new rappers.

I'm a huge PAC fan but I can admit PAC had his lyrical moments but he is more known, for what he said, aggressive flow, realism, and how he said things to give a track that dope vibe

They picked the worst 2pac bars to show off lyricism TI’s rating was pretty honest 😂

TI didn't give himself a 5 like most others in this series, that self honesty speaks.

They played TI basically had to rate all his artists, homies, n idols lmfaooo

Tip's eyes red af lmao he smoked that gas before they cut the camera on😂😂😂😂

I could watch TI do this for hours lol. He is so serious when judging the lyrics.

I respect that he didn't give himself a 5 automatically like everyone else. Id also love to see a video of T.I telling us his top 10 bars of all time kinda like Ludacris did

TI's the best reviewer so far Also this man said "rat, cat, dog, fog, fun, run, I'm done" lmao

He was handing out them 3’s like he was Oprah 🤣

Tupac.. If i die tonight.. This will show his true ability on lyrics

They should of had T.I read one of lil Flips bars lol 😂😂

T.I being tough on bars like he was always lyrical 😂 "I want yo body need yo body long as you got me dont need nobody" 😂😂 at least he was honest and only gave himself a 3.5

T.I properly critiqued the bars in a very unbiased manner. One of the best "Rate the Bars" episode.

That Tupac bar was basic because it was early Pac. It is pretty incredible how he evolved throughout his career until he died. Some of his best work, I believe, was the stuff released post-mortem, made just before he died (Troublesome 96, etc.)

Glad y'all bought back rate the bars for another season love these videos 🔥😏

Atleast this proves TIP didn't ghost write for Iggy

I-75, that’s arguably where people would take there Os if they wanted to distribute them. 😂😂😂

Lol i wish 2pac fans would realize he wasn’t some complex lyricist. He was good but he’s a Story teller , elite message , impact.

Everybody knows that 2Pac has way more lyrical songs in his chamber recorded much later in his career. He was no punchline guy but he served the truth and had amazing thought provoking bars. Enough of slandering a dead man.

get Nas or Eminem on this asap

Tip so chill and articulate xDDDDDDDDDDDDD Mad love and respect to the OG. "Rat, cat. Dog, fog. Run, fun... I'm done--" XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said “whew, SHAKESPEARE” 😂

Man, those 2pac bars were from his first album in 1991. Why they pick that out of all the Pac lines out there? Just to make him look bad? Then put his name in the title for clickbait. Y'all trying to disrespect a legend

He should read domanis lyrics😂😂

2pac was a legend that’s bigger than being able to have the best lyrics Michael Jackson didn’t have the best voice but he was a legend that’s bigger than a singer It’s about the person overall, the songs, the impact they have on the world Respect to Tupac #1 legend

I love the faces in the back around, make my frown turn upside down.

They could of choose a better Tupac bar but respect T.i for being honest👍

02:36 Jeezy came out of Nowhere Like you better rate my Bars high'😂😂😂😂

“Run, fun..... I’m done” 😂😂

I'm not a TI fan but this was the most unbiased ratethebars that I have watched. Good shit

Wether he knows who’s lyrics it is or not makes no difference he’s rating it based on what he thinks remember that other rapper might rate differently. I see a lot of comments like ooo only if he knew who it was ??? Ehhh why because its 2pac you except people to give his lyrics a 5/5 & that goes for anyone other rapper come on bruh be real point, blank, period 🤨🤘🏼💯 Don’t confuse Reputation with Lyrics

That was an old pac verse from when he was like 16 or 17

This was the first honest rating I've seen from these rappers. Respect man

Best one of these I've seen yet💕💖😍

of all songs they pick tupac something wicked you may as well had went back to the mc new york catalog

I feel they had to choose a song relatively unknown from pax to get an honest rating. They do this for most rappers. Or else it’ll be “oh it’s Tupac? 5 Star” I do think they should’ve chosen a different song tho

People have to realize Pac was more than his word play, his energy, charisma and cadence amplified his words and made them more potent..

That Tupac line was amazing. It sounds like it's just a bunch of similar sounding words but he delivered a pretty powerful message

You signed these two artist but don't like they work lmfao

Appreciate the honesty

That 2pac bar was horrible 🤣🤣 goddamn he stepped up after his first album !!

He gave his own bar a rating of 3.5... this dude honest af

So out of all pac songs they use his track “something wicked” that was on his first album. Like come on he had way more lyrical songs then that smh they did pac dirty with that one I actually like that song to btw

At least he was honest he give his day one dro a 2 😂

Bob's lines are straight up poetry

To all those who question pacs greatness.. what makes a great lyricist? Is it album sells? Is it personality? Is it emotion? Is it creativity? We are not talking about a one hit wonder here folks! We are not talking about one great album here ppl! What made him so great was his story telling. But it was real and had the ability to relate and touch so many ppl of all types. He spoke about life. What he saw, what he experience, what others experience. And his lyrics were creative at doing it. The thing ppl for get is he was a head of his time. Meaning nobody was at the lvl he was at. And he was already at the top of the rap industry at the age of 23. He was also at his peak at the age of 25 when he died. Who knows how great he would have become if was given another 5yrs at least, 10yrs the most. Poets are lyrical and why it was so easy to go from poet to rapper for him. I can do both very well! Will probably murk most of yur favorite rappers out there. So I know and appreciate this profession more then most. U tell me a artist out there that has done more then 2pac in so little time? I'm talking about sales, fans, popularity, hit the top 10 more then a dozen times, gold records and platinum..? His music still gets played today in the yr 2019 and he continues to get new fans that come across his music today. U tell me a artist on that lvl of greatness. He truly is a legand and a icon. And paved the way for artist like a TI, Kendrick Lamar, etc. When he was alive Jay Z, Nas, etc.. where in the Shadows. Rather u want to believe it or not.. it is facts! Nobody was making money like death row. And he was a big reason why. That's why Suge Knight picked him up. Was a smart move on his part. Ppl let's not forget it was 2pac that put Biggie on. That's right it was pac who gave biggie his first shot. And for those of u that think I don't have them bars! I'm gonna give u a little example of bars which by the way are copyrighted. ✌️

I love 2pac but every rapper has a wack line! Plus if you know rap, 2pac has always been a story teller more so than a crazy word play lyricist

When he was reading Pac shit I was dying lmao

That's my favorite song by B.O.B. Lil Wayne snapped on his verse. E.T. is a dope song altogether.

MY BOIII LOOK HIGH ASF 👀💤🤦🏼‍♂️🤣😂

You gotta hear the flow with the Tupac bars

Everybody pissed that he gave Tupac a 1 but it ain't slander, those bars were basic, yes Tupac a legend but his rhyming was basic. Those can coexsist.

I love this because it shows how the artist really feels about the bars. If T.I. saw that it was a Tupac bar he would have prolly gave it a 4 or 5 but because they don't tell him who it is he's forced to give his honest opinion.

Appreciate how seriously tip analyzes things. No mercy for anyone even for his own bars.

Not his fault BET picked trash bars.

Love the rate the bars series keep it up

TI?! Oh this is going to be splendiferous

He honestly the only one who truly rated their own bars

For all of you complaining about how T.I. rated the 2pac bars: the rapper wasn't written on there and he was rating the bars, not the rapper. The idea that because a rapper has had great lines means they can't be criticized is ridiculous.

That's one of tupacs songs when he first came out, they really picked his weakest lines intentionally. Lol

It wasn’t what Pac said, it’s how fast he spit it with rhythm. You got to actually hear it to appreciate it.

Pac never said he was a lyrical boss at bars, his tracks are about the message and what was going on in the streets at the time. How many rappers can say they rap about what's happening to black America currently?

this is from Mr. What ever you like lol

Yall act like 2pac aint never spit a wack bar! Every rapper has!

It's 2019 we still blasting 2pac music listening to his lyrics

T.I....be quiet when it comes to Tupac....go fight your cases A-SAP....do it expeditiously!

I mean it rhymes😭😭😭 it’s talking about stuff 😭

Ion think TI knew half of them was from ATL 😂😂😂

Most of the people that say Pac wasn't lyrical must have only heard like 2 or 3 of his songs. He was poetic. Isn't that a synonym for lyrical too for his art form.

2pac and Iggy Azalea shouldn't be in the same sentence. you messed up

T.I killed it. He’s eduacated on the bars. He knows what’s quality and I think he have super accurate ratings.

I'm pretty sure the 2Pac lyrics are: "Attackin' the packs, I’m kickin' the facts on stacks o' raps And those that max, relax, and let the blacks get jack Are gettin' taxed, by packs and packs of angry blacks" Which at least means something, unlike the gibberish he was given.

B.o.b. verse was amazing

Dude is so humble and honest!

T.I rates like he’s the most immaculate rapper alive.

2pac is too deep for simple minded people that's the truth. They say hes overrated this and that but they can't name me 10 or 15 2pac song's . Then they say his rhymes are simple but cant even tell what the verse meant or what message the song was trying to spread. Poetry is not the easiest thing to understand and that's what tupac is a poet with deep and thoughtful rhymes that make u think about life.

That was 2pac's first album....He had came a long way from that before he passed.

The B.o.B explanation of his verse I agree with the whole time he was reciting his lyrics I was imagining what he was rapping about.

T.i= tupac impersonator 🤣🤣🤣

He obviously doesn’t know who they are.

Tbh 2Pac's song "Something Wicked" is pretty lyrical its just more about rhyme scheme and messages than punchlines and metaphors. If you want a more lethal lyrical 2Pac you gotta go from 94 to 96 and beyond he was killin it!

Damn. T.I. is the Simon Cowell of Rate the Bars lol. He's tough on 'em.

The thing about Tupac is that some things he could make sound dope cuz of his voice, that shit sounded wack cuz T.I. has a weak as voice

People are so sensitive. Just cause pac is dead doesn’t mean everything he said was good. People have to learn to let their favorite artists take criticism lol.

This video is the embodiment of why writing/rap/communication is contextual

So what I love about rate the bars is that it proves what I've been saying forever about rap top five, lyrics, Etc. When you can get rappers to rate other rappers lyrically with no music no beat Just lyrics, it goes to show that even your peers don't know what true bars are. So when people give their top five and most are not rappers, they are strictly doing who I liked and who's popular or who everyone else likes and are never rating the content or lyrical flow behind the content. So as I say and have said, until we develop an actual standard or guideline to which we can unbiasedly rate or judge lyricist, we will never have an evidence-based judgement when it comes to Lyricist in the rap game.

Once Tip gave his own bars a 3.5 I knew nobody else stood a chance. Also reading bars isn't the same without hearing them on a beat . This is for lyrical rappers only .

I liked how he was honest with his bars

I don't know y'all but that shirt TI's swagging is dope

"it ryhmes....?" hahaha best review.

Isn't this the guy that got flamed on the internet for dressing like 2pac

Yo they tryna say the bar wasn't trash or it was from his first album The truth is that shit was wack, I still listen to Pac he never wrote shit for hot bars he was all about his message so a couple of bars being wack don't mean anything

“my packs is filled with angry blacks” - tupac... he talkin bout smokin dead opps

I agree. Best one I’ve seen.
