Martian Lynch I know, that’s why I brought Wayne up. And it’s not disgusting bro lol, Wayne is the GOAT to me. You have a lot of band wagoners that think otherwise though.
He didn't write the whole song, look up the original version of Jesus Walks on RUclips and see the differences between Kanye's Version and Rhymefest's version, Rhymefest only wrote the hook and the first line
its true. But Father Stretch My hands is like the perfect of example of a song with humanity/vanity. Its a song about the struggle with temptation and living a faithful life.
the match/flames lupe pun reminds me of his line from The Coolest, "match made in heaven set the fires in hell", as well as the second verse from Blur My Hands. rhymefest seems like a really good dude and im glad the show is back!
I would have given him this Kanye verse from the song "Cudi Montage" off the album "Kids See Ghosts". Everybody want world peace 'Til your niece get shot in the dome-piece Then you go and buy your own piece Hopin' it'll help you find your own peace Bring light to what they don't see Auntie cryin' on the concrete Talkin' to dispatcher then the phone beep On the other line was the homies Told her that you ain't comin' home, see When she heard the news it hurt her bone-deep Caught with the rifle with the long reach Just another cycle of the lonely All growin' up in environment Where doin' crime the requirement They send us off to prison for retirement Hopefully Alice Johnson will inspire men
Or this Kanye verse from the song "Gorgeous" off the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" Penitentiary chances, the devil dances And eventually answers to the call of Autumn All of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’ Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums Based off the way we was branded Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon And at the airport they check all through my bag And tell me that it’s random But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage I need a happy ending and a new beginning And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative This the real world, homie, school finished They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS I won’t be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
My boy Rhymefest is still that dude. I first heard him on Kanye's "Brand New" and to hear his perspective on lyrics now shows you this man was far beyond that shit but can also match it if need be. There's that mix of vanity and humanity he was talking about. Keep em coming BET. Y'all took too damn long to drop this.
Hes so petty REPEATS himself at the end saying that he’s the only one that writes in prophetic terms, he knows he said prophetic about those jesus walks bars 😂
This is so petty haha. If you want Rhymefest to react to knew Ye, have him react to like Cudi Montage or something. You can’t compare Jesus Walks with FSMH p.1 lmao.
Camren Jeffers nah cause even though Kanye has lyrically better newer songs than fstmh, the fact that he would even put out a song with lyrcis like that showed a shift in his mentality and priorities. At that point, rhymefesf was done with him
Camren Jeffers FSMH is actually a banger though outside of the bars drake wrote Saint Pablo No more parties in LA Cudi montage Ye vs the people What would meek do Cops shot the kid Reborn
Matthew Smith that’s such corny logic. Kanye BEEN had corny bars. That’s part of him, always has been. Y’all consider Old Kanye only Jesus Walks and don’t wanna remember all the other weird lyrics he put out in his old ways.
Rhymefest rated Ye bars he was involved in. But he fully explains why it was written in the it was. LOL Rhymefest left when he heard that stupid bleaching line. That makes sense. That Rhymefest section was fire. Lupe KILLED that
I think Rhymefest was my favorite of this series and I've seen a good amount of them lol liked how he broke down the bars and you can tell he truly loves rap which isn't true for alot of artist.
That Kanye line is Literally about Humanity vs. Vanity tho. Giving into the temptation of adultery but then facing the guilt of it if there is the evidence of it. The concept of the song is about the concessions of one’s conscience to achieve fame and affluence.
when I clicked this, I was hoping they would actually challenge the stereotype and provide excellent "New Kanye" bars and mediocre "Old Kanye" bars to make a point about our preconceived notions. But no, they literally chose two of the most basic bars from each of his most cliche' songs.
so glad that he still remain as my favourite rapper . im blessed cuz got i got the opportunity to met him and ride him around my neighbourhood in Malaysia when he's on tour with Dj jazzy jeff .
He's so close to understanding Kanye's lyricism in Father Stretch My Hands. It being all vanity is the point, it contrasts the track before it that is all spiritual. In context, the bar is genius.
great analysis and breakdown except for the 0 he gave to the Kanye bar. it ain’t that serious man! the lyric is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and ridiculous. it’s all part of the mood. the rest of the song is a masterclass in music and production. great episode and a great guy tho. WE NEED MORE OF THESE!!
Kanye West will go down as one of the best producers of all time. He WAS the “new version of Pete Rock.” I can’t say anything about him being a rapper. He has 3 classic albums to me, his first 3. And you can probably sneak dark twisted fantasy in there. I truly don’t like where Kanye has went. In the snippet on Netflix you see Rhymefest questioning Kanye about calling himself a genius. This kept him grounded. Nobody said you can’t be confident. Be when you enter delusions grandeur that’s when insanity hits. And people are cheering him on as he completely loses his mind.
+BETNetworks You really need to get Crooked I on here and rate some bars! That is something that I have been really dying to see for a long time now and I know a lot of people would love to see that as well!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Rhymfest the type of dude you show a meme to and he turn it into a life lesson
Callum Moodley lmao facts
Callum Moodley Lmfao factz
Callum Moodley 😆🔥😆🔥😆
Super facts cuz when I heard that herbo bar, I didn't think hard on it but fest take on it is ill
Callum Moodley 😂
Rhymefest looks like chocolate Thanos
shayne marshall Lol you a fool for that 1
shayne marshall bruuuh 😂
Lmfaooooooooooooooo
This made me giggle out loud yo
shayne marshall oh my god lmao!!!
His breakdown of these lyrics is priceless and very profound.... perspective....
He just said everything is good
a a wrong Kanye he gave a zero
Pedro it was a terrible bar though
well he wrote /helped write most of the songs so.... yeah...ya think...
J. Jo please hop off with your negativity and sarcasm. I’m very aware of what he’s written. His analysis overall was still impeccable. Be blessed
I don’t think G Herbo was thinking that deep into those bars 😂
dag1697 nah herbo does have his deep moments so I don’t put it past him
he never do
I wouldn't be surprised herbo is good with the pen
Herbo pen is actually nice.n one of the nicest in chicago... I wouldnt put it past him if he did go thru this frfr..
Can interpretation create art?
The double entendre with "suits and cases" is still dope to this day.
BRUH... FINALLY. It doesn't matter who you get. Just make MORE EPISODES PLZ
BionicCorndog fax
That's what I'm saying 🙌🙌🙌
Exactly
Jeez 100% facts.
Facts
Lupe Fiasco is so underrated
Just a RUclipsr listen to my music
Just a Yotuber He is underrated. And that’s because everyone was listening to Wayne when Lupe was buzzing so he didn’t get the attention he deserved.
Devin Williams not just that, but people are to dumb to understand his bars. So they think he ain't saying much lol
Devin Williams Lupe lost best rap album Grammy to Wayne . Tha carter 3 won over The Cool... disgusting
Martian Lynch I know, that’s why I brought Wayne up. And it’s not disgusting bro lol, Wayne is the GOAT to me. You have a lot of band wagoners that think otherwise though.
Uuuummmmm... RhymeFest co-wrote Jesus Walks!!!!! I like how he acted like he ain't recognize his own lyrics!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 smh
WorldFamous Matix Nah he gave Kanye the sample.
Rhymefest was the genius behind College Dropout and Late Registration.
nah he wrote the song..
He did in fact write the song
He didn't write the whole song, look up the original version of Jesus Walks on RUclips and see the differences between Kanye's Version and Rhymefest's version, Rhymefest only wrote the hook and the first line
That humanity/vanity part was true af
Vanity is surely evil!!
It's called self confidence
lol he misses the point of the whole song
its true. But Father Stretch My hands is like the perfect of example of a song with humanity/vanity. Its a song about the struggle with temptation and living a faithful life.
Yea it was true, honestly when I heard that verse I was like this shit crazy. 😂 I was unfamiliar with bootyhole bleaching until this song.
*"Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay OKAY!!!"* Is one of Kanye's best lines.
Frankie Russell It's not better than Poopedy Scoop
Frankie Russell
His verse on that part truly did grow on me
Cold but, not quite up there with.
"alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright." by Andre 3000.
Niggas in Paris?
Oversimplifying at it's best 😂😂😂
Ya Petty for him giving him those Kanye bars
What? He did the opposite of simplifying these bars fool, lmao.
They coulda gave him no more parties in la bars or somethin lol even Ye fans will agree that shit cringey
If ya bars is wack they will be brought up
Still a better bar than poopity scoop
You must not know that he co-wrote Jesus walks lol
ayooo first, god damn Rhymefest went in deep on those bars lmao
Jury Mang listen to my music
Isid Square no
they need more lupe bars on here.
Thaelectricfeel listen to my music
Fact we need that glory hole line from Joaquin Phoenix 🔥🔥🔥
Isid Square your shit is trash
I feel sometimes Lupe is more criptic than clever.
Yeah like im still breaking down Mural. Hands down best lyrical song of the last decade. Definitely the best lyrical song of 2015.
He gave King Lu a 5!! Some of y’all STILL SLEEP on Lupe!!
hoc1992 Basically!
Glad they put him here man
I’m a massive Lupe fan. Dude not getting enough love.
He will never get his credit sadly.
hoc1992 Thank You....!
Lupe always FIRE
B Lew listen to my music
Factuals
Rhyme out here looking like a Golden Lord.
🤣😭 shout out to Meteor Man
More like a Bronze Lord
Vanity vs humanity....wow. He REALLY summed up Kanye that simply.
A Green theeeee best comment he made. Summed Kanye up in a nutshell
A Green
Drake wrote those bars
I mean, they could've picked No More Parties in L.A. from the same record and I don't think that the reaction would be the same.
More like he summed up America
More like summed up mankind in general
Rhymefest needs his own tv show, his own podcast, something. He’s the real.
He's a part of Jazzy Jeff's Vinyl Destination crew.
...deal?
...Slim Shady?
BET messy asf knowing they got beef.
Jaylen Hare It's not Beef Their Friendship Goes Deeper Than Rap....#GoGetters...
i didnt know
The faces that pop out from the corners always makes me laugh.
The Change listen to my music
Ryhmefest is the right dude for this kinda job! Peace!
DOPE perspectiveon the lyrics. Bravo Rhymfest & BET
Lupe bars let's go🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the best one I’ve seen. He’s all about the content.
Ryhmefest looking like thanos
the match/flames lupe pun reminds me of his line from The Coolest, "match made in heaven set the fires in hell", as well as the second verse from Blur My Hands. rhymefest seems like a really good dude and im glad the show is back!
Ok I see what yall did here, pick the best bars from old kanye and pick the simplified bars from his new stuff...Yall Corny
Brandon Hicks haha you tight.
What new Kanye lyrics would you have given him to rate? I’ll wait.
I would have given him this Kanye verse from the song "Cudi Montage" off the album "Kids See Ghosts".
Everybody want world peace
'Til your niece get shot in the dome-piece
Then you go and buy your own piece
Hopin' it'll help you find your own peace
Bring light to what they don't see
Auntie cryin' on the concrete
Talkin' to dispatcher then the phone beep
On the other line was the homies
Told her that you ain't comin' home, see
When she heard the news it hurt her bone-deep
Caught with the rifle with the long reach
Just another cycle of the lonely
All growin' up in environment
Where doin' crime the requirement
They send us off to prison for retirement
Hopefully Alice Johnson will inspire men
Or this Kanye verse from the song "Gorgeous" off the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
All of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’
Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag
And tell me that it’s random
But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative
This the real world, homie, school finished
They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won’t be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
Kay Tee are you serious
My boy Rhymefest is still that dude. I first heard him on Kanye's "Brand New"
and to hear his perspective on lyrics now shows you this man was far beyond that shit but can also match it if need be. There's that mix of vanity and humanity he was talking about.
Keep em coming BET. Y'all took too damn long to drop this.
Please don’t get logic he’s gonna praise everything
Wesley yeah he's a wanna be
André BM he’s a good rapper but idk why he don’t appeal to me
Wesley don't worry me neither, after Under Pressure everything was repetitive and average
He wasnt allowed to perform on BET so he probably wont be here either
Ultra Mega Hype Beast idk he doesnt look black enough maybe?
Still remember when him and kanye performed "brand new" at the end of a wild n out episode. Still love that song
"Your Vanity and Humanity fight each other." - Rhymefest #DroppinKnowledge
Every time you hear lupe's bars all you can do is yell a high pitched "oooooooh" 🔥🔥🔥
Rhymefest is so nice to listen to. If he made a podcast I’d listen to it forever.
Check out his documentary on showtime " in this house" I think that is what it's called
They better not give him bars he wrote for Kanye
Obey Amma he wrote on Jesus Walks
Obey Amma I know! I was thinking when he read those first bars he was gonna be like, "oh shit, I wrote this."
Duhh!! The first was his... notice "prophetic" repeats itself
Hes so petty REPEATS himself at the end saying that he’s the only one that writes in prophetic terms, he knows he said prophetic about those jesus walks bars 😂
Those Lupe Bars 🔥🔥
Love Fest!! That Lupe quote is too nasty!!
Wow this dudes energy is great. I cant believe this the first time I've ever heard of him
Lupe getting his props. Nice!
This is so petty haha. If you want Rhymefest to react to knew Ye, have him react to like Cudi Montage or something. You can’t compare Jesus Walks with FSMH p.1 lmao.
Camren Jeffers nah cause even though Kanye has lyrically better newer songs than fstmh, the fact that he would even put out a song with lyrcis like that showed a shift in his mentality and priorities. At that point, rhymefesf was done with him
Camren Jeffers
FSMH is actually a banger though outside of the bars drake wrote
Saint Pablo
No more parties in LA
Cudi montage
Ye vs the people
What would meek do
Cops shot the kid
Reborn
Matthew Smith I see what you mean. But I think it was Chance who told him to keep that line in the song.
Camren Jeffers ahhh you might be right about that
Matthew Smith that’s such corny logic. Kanye BEEN had corny bars. That’s part of him, always has been. Y’all consider Old Kanye only Jesus Walks and don’t wanna remember all the other weird lyrics he put out in his old ways.
This is like the best series ever. Really wish new episodes would be uploaded more frequently but regardless, appreciate the new episode
This show is always dope when they have actual writers rate the bars... you get way more insight and perspective.
Finally we need more episodes tho
773 p listen to my music
Rhymefest rated Ye bars he was involved in. But he fully explains why it was written in the it was.
LOL Rhymefest left when he heard that stupid bleaching line. That makes sense.
That Rhymefest section was fire.
Lupe KILLED that
about time I been waitin
I gotta mention this; Rhymefest called the whole Chiraq thing way before it happened.
i could watch rhymefest all day long. the most thought out rate video yet.
This just reminded me to listen to slr2 again
I think Rhymefest was my favorite of this series and I've seen a good amount of them lol liked how he broke down the bars and you can tell he truly loves rap which isn't true for alot of artist.
Wait Ye got his blond hair from Rhymfest too?!
Ayesha Go. Bs
Ya’ll reach too much
Or he got it from West
You are on every Rhymfest video, do you have a thing for him
Yeah he sampled it lmao
LOVE Rhymefest's critiques!
He said he took a flight and when he said they bleached line 😂😂😂😂
That Kanye line is Literally about Humanity vs. Vanity tho. Giving into the temptation of adultery but then facing the guilt of it if there is the evidence of it. The concept of the song is about the concessions of one’s conscience to achieve fame and affluence.
And Lupe can do no wrong lyrically.
Yeeeeeesssss! Rhymefest gave me life! 🙌🏾
when I clicked this, I was hoping they would actually challenge the stereotype and provide excellent "New Kanye" bars and mediocre "Old Kanye" bars to make a point about our preconceived notions.
But no, they literally chose two of the most basic bars from each of his most cliche' songs.
Zenkojinsky honestly😑
Facts, I'm glad someone else noticed it smh
XRAYFUNK Most basic bars? "We aint goin nowhere but got suits and cases" is a classic hip hop line bruh
Kanye is an amazing musician but he doesn't have that many clever bars.
@@bern9642 🥴
I can’t believe Rhymfest would disrespect Kanye in that way. Smh
Adiel Clark But he was speaking facts though... Kanye is in a battle between his state of mind and his mentality.
He Was Real What He Said About Kanye.. Much Respect 2 Rhymefest!
Carlen Marshall
No he wasn't they used what's considered Ye's worst bar which was actually written by drake btw
Apollo DA writing credits literally mean they give ideas it doesn’t mean they write the bar
Andre 1997 it could go either way, how do you know how much of the song they wrote just off of a writer credit
Kanye gives people credit for inspiration. They don't just sit there and write good rhyme and give it to him. Let's be real
@@pedrojustice6341 they write it and he chooses.
Ryhmefest really be analysing these lyrics bro 😂😂 salute brother
Finally someone acknowledges Lupe Fiasco
Keep it coming.. Much love!
When he said "thats the shit" on lupes lines, i was thinking bout the same thing haha
This might be the best rate the bars I've seen. He broke down these bars like crazy.
Of course he gives Jesus Walks a "5"... he wrote it!
darrell glover
He co wrote it lol
Ye's bars
He simply gave feedback
Enjoyed this one!!
How long are we gonna put money over people😢 RIP X
Cocaine Dewayne listen to my music
X did terrible things for his money, and to other people. He's part of the problem rhymefest is talking about 🤔
The man abuses women, enough said
Andrew T he was a kid at time and also that shit was never proven. I really don’t get why people talk so much shit about stuff they have no idea about
Andrew T ok
It's that dude Kim was talking to on twitter, good shit!
Rhymefest and the Rap Critic MUST be related damn they look so alike
This is the first Ratethebars I've heard without censor
Question: How long are we gonna put money over people?
Answer: When the world stop spinning.
so glad that he still remain as my favourite rapper . im blessed cuz got i got the opportunity to met him and ride him around my neighbourhood in Malaysia when he's on tour with Dj jazzy jeff .
Thts Lupe..
Whoever does the edits for the artists in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂
Ayyeee shout out to Sasha go hard. That's baby.
Bobby Brown listen to my music
I’m glad you guys got him up there
Yo Rhymefest... What's it gonna take to get you back writing with Ye. Shits just not the same bruh
I knew that Lupe line right even he started. So glad he gave it a 5.
"I don't want to be that guy... but I'm that guy."🤣😂
Wow this guys has mad love for lyrics! I love it!!! It's like seeing a man In love with poetry
He's so close to understanding Kanye's lyricism in Father Stretch My Hands. It being all vanity is the point, it contrasts the track before it that is all spiritual. In context, the bar is genius.
“Before the day I die, imma touch the sky” more like before the day I die imma mumble and cry
I like that he actually broke everything down and he’s not afraid to sound like a “old head”. Hell im 24, and I think new rap is absolute ear cancer.
Lil Durk you fw durk tho?
Nash Lemmons lmaoo 😂
🗣KANYE NEVER FELL OFF
i know this isnt a big deal or nothing but can yall add the bleeps in like you did before instead of just skipping over the words
Or just straight up give us the cuss words. Cussing is a cornerstone of hip hop
agree with that as well
Daniel Ngongang
youtube demonetizes videos when you say some cuss words in them
Like the bleeps. Makes it feel old school
Y’all gotta do more of these more consistent forreal
Thay SLR2 hotness Lupe underated.
Rhymefest rhymed “now” with “now” and then with “now”. That shit was hard!
Lupe the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Rhymefest has become my best bars rater on this platform. I completely agree with his points
great analysis and breakdown except for the 0 he gave to the Kanye bar.
it ain’t that serious man! the lyric is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and ridiculous. it’s all part of the mood. the rest of the song is a masterclass in music and production.
great episode and a great guy tho. WE NEED MORE OF THESE!!
Agreed.
Kanye West will go down as one of the best producers of all time. He WAS the “new version of Pete Rock.” I can’t say anything about him being a rapper. He has 3 classic albums to me, his first 3. And you can probably sneak dark twisted fantasy in there. I truly don’t like where Kanye has went. In the snippet on Netflix you see Rhymefest questioning Kanye about calling himself a genius.

+BETNetworks You really need to get Crooked I on here and rate some bars! That is something that I have been really dying to see for a long time now and I know a lot of people would love to see that as well!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
George Kumria Crooked I is one of the greatest lyricists around. Damn right, put the boy on that stool. Or put his verses on the cards!
Fax
Yes
Finally someone who actually analyzed the bars !
3:38 got me weak. LMAOOOO
If people ever want to know how it feels when you hear a dope lyric, Watch Rhymfest reading Lupe Fiasco's lyrics
more Lupe bars plz
This guy did this properly. He should do more. My favourite rate the bars👍
Chicago! 🔥✊🏾
ROB listen to my music
Red man and rhyme fest my favorite episodes this far
@ 06:56 - 07:00 : Issa Gawdamn MEME !
