I am not really into rap per se, however, I enjoyed this season. I believe that Deedranada should of won though. She showed growth and she had the best bars. I think Deedranada was stronger than Nova because she didn't have the exposure and assistance like nova did from his brother. She was the true winner to me. Nova had all the backing and Nova had all the women in the crowd. His brother gave him some strong ideas and Deedranada didn't have that but still was strong! Well, that's my opinion anyway.

I really liked season 2 over season one but I am disappointed in who JD picked as the winner of season 2. Lil Key should of won. There is no way Mani is better than Lil Key and Nia Kay. That's garbage. Mani did kill his last performance but Mani for real. JD you trippin.
