    Loved Jay Taj the entire time on the show and thought he was for sure going to win the entire thing. I'm convinced that they couldn't let a West Coast guy win two seasons in a row, but everyone in their hearts knows this guy was the best of the bunch. He's such a classy guy, and so glad I got to learn more about him through this episode, like the fact that he's Pacific Islander!! Loved all y'alls conversation about multi-cultural upbringing, it's these types of convos that make the world a better and more inclusive place!

    • @Enki0906
      @Enki0906 Месяц назад +3

      Yeah, he's on a completely different level and I'm not even trying to throw shade at DreTL because I could never write and perform at either of their level and he has a unique voice, but Jay was miles ahead. He's a genuine, real individual, who I'm sure all of us consider an actual artist, rather than just a rapper. He is involved in every aspect of his music and delivers in such a unique way, it was refreshing. Like Luda said, people will be pressing that follow button immediately after he performed "Believe me", I was definitely among them. I couldn't get that song out of my head, the only contestant who I truly remember, added to my playlist, and follow his interviews.

    That HoB show was dope! I was there for my boy Jason J having never heard of Jay Taj, but came away as a huge fan. It really was one of the best live rap performances I've ever seen.
    What I appreciate the most about Jay's performance is that you could actually understand him and the energy is always correct. No overhyped yelling, no running out of breath, no craziness. Just pure execution.
    You hold that shit down

    JayTaj should have won. The person that won could not even rap on beat the whole show. The judges picked who they liked not who was the best. The show is about who is the best not potential of what could be. The guy that won shouldn't have been in the finals. He wasn't horrible but he needs alot of work. JayTaj was the most consistent on the show but also others got better as the show went on. Don't have Luda, Khalid and Lotto back to judge ever.

    Everyone thinks they go to hate DreTL just because they don't fuck with his style. DreTL represents the new era of hip-hop. He has bigger potential in terms of the industry direction that's why the judges picked him. Jay Taj appeals to old heads. He will do fine without winning.
