DA BRAT: You better beat that beat, baby.
What's up, Rap Game fans?
It's your girl, Brat.
This "Da Brat Game," and I'm here
to bring you the hottest takes on this week's
episode of "The Rap Game."
Let's talk about what went down.
Let me see that list.
Number five, storytelling.
So hip-hop's core is storytelling.
JERMAINE DUPRI: All the best rappers are storytellers,
and today you're going to be telling somebody else's story.
I got five little books right here.
"Little Bo Peep."
QUEEN AMAYAH: He hands us nursery rhyme books.
What?
DA BRAT: The nursery rhyme challenge is a good one.
It's teaching these kids how to put a hip-hop spin
on the nursery rhyme and make it work and make the kids love it.
NYA KASAN: (RAPPING) Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
ELI TRIPLETT: (RAPPING) Three little mice crept out to see--
SIRE: (RAPPING) "How do you do?" "How do you do?"
And, "How do you do?" again.
QUEEN AMAYAH: (RAPPING) Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
TYELER: (RAPPING) Little Bo Peep.
Little Bo Peep.
Dab.
JERMAINE DUPRI: Tyeler had crowd participation
and did a pretty interesting remix of "Little Bo Peep."
So good job, Tyeler.
DA BRAT: Number four, the booth.
So this is the kids' first time in the studio.
You have to be able to destroy.
You should have some kind of practice by now.
In the bathroom at home with a brush in your hand,
I don't care.
You've got to be prepared for the booth.
TYELER: (RAPPING) Praying to make it do what it do, do.
NYA KASAN: (RAPPING) I was a sin 'cause my parents
wasn't married or nothin'
SIRE: (RAPPING) Food stamps ain't comin' through.
Child support is inconsistent.
ELI TRIPLETT: (RAPPING) It was biblical how they
was flippin' like reciprocal.
QUEEN AMAYAH: (SINGING) I push through [inaudible]
on my side 'cause if I keep it movin', I
know it'll all be all right.
DA BRAT: Amayah walked in with a ton of confidence.
She walked in like she knew what she was doing.
She was singing on the mic, and she was so comfortable.
Y'all, I think this is Amayah's sweet spot.
JERMAINE DUPRI: I'm getting excited
because I haven't felt this energy from Amayah, period.
QUEEN AMAYAH: I'm finally showing people,
this is who I am, and this is what I do.
DA BRAT: Number three, Da Spat.
London versus Brandi.
BRANDI: I knew that Sire might not be number one.
Not number five.
[bleep] JERMAINE DUPRI: What's going on?
BRANDI: They needed to see him at the bottom.
They've been waiting for this.
LONDON: The statement, why do you think everybody wants
to see him at number five?
That just was irking the sh--
just irking me. BRANDI: [bleep]
SIRE: That's how I got here.
LONDON: Brandi, it don't need to be like that, though.
BRANDI: I feel like London was specifically
one of the people that couldn't wait to see him at number five.
DA BRAT: Woo.
It was only a matter of time before these two
started going at it.
They both very opinionated, and they both
love they children to death.
LONDON: Everybody is not going to take you dog [bleep]
out of they kids every week.
It's just not gonna work.
BRANDI: London is crazy.
I wasn't the only one talking [bleep]
LONDON: She just say [bleep],, period.
You need to just shut [bleep] up.
DA BRAT: We keep seeing Brandi lose her mind because she keep
on talkin' and keep on talkin' and keep
on talkin' and keep on talkin'.
Somebody can only take so much before they shut somebody up.
LONDON: I done tried my [bleep] best to hold my [bleep] tongue,
and I'm about to lose my [bleep] mind.
FEMALE SPEAKER: You can just feel the tension
between everybody in the house.
NYA KASAN: Things just went 0 to 100 real quick.
DA BRAT: Number two, family In the rap game, family is huge,
and it's not just your blood relatives.
It's the producers, it's the writers,
it's the people around you, the people who support you.
It's everybody.
ELI'S DAD: I just got a call from my youngest son Luke,
and an emergency situation has come back up at home.
ELI TRIPLETT: Family comes first,
so my dad has to go and take care of my brother.
DA BRAT: So Eli's dad had to leave
to go take care of his family, and then London stepped in,
and she became like his caretaker
while his dad was gone.
LONDON: Stand-in parent today, you know.
JERMAINE DUPRI: All right. All right.
LONDON: I got Eli.
He's in good hands. We got this.
DA BRAT: She sat in the booth with him.
She was there when he was writing his rhymes
and then performing.
She stayed on his butt to make sure he was OK
and to take up for him when Brandi
came at him the wrong way.
LONDON: Eli's session.
His story is extremely touching.
I gotta give him that.
BRANDI: JD was like, oh, I'm shocked, and, that was amazing.
If the story is that your mom hasn't been in your life,
again, I don't judge nobody's story,
but [bleep] that's every black kid's story that I know.
LONDON: You know, it's just, Eli did a great job in the studio.
DA BRAT: London, that's what family is all about.
ELI'S DAD: Hopefully I didn't miss too much.
LONDON: Your baby did really good.
ELI'S DAD: Did he? LONDON: We're all proud of him.
Yeah.
ELI'S DAD: Thank you guys so much for--
LONDON: Of course.
ELI'S DAD: --keeping an eye over him and all of that.
LONDON: Of course.
ELI'S DAD: Oh, I'm very grateful for London.
DA BRAT: Number one, Da Chat.
Sire.
JERMAINE DUPRI: At number five on this week's hit
list is Sire.
SIRE: Aw, hold on.
Timeout. What?
DA BRAT: Hmm.
Ol' Sire had to eat some humble pie, didn't he?
He came in at number five this week,
and maybe that's what Sire needed
to bring him down a few notches because he is way too excited.
SIRE: I was upset that I went from one to five.
That's a long jump in the wrong direction.
DA BRAT: When you walked in the house,
you already thought you was number one
without having to do anything.
Well, now you see, you got to earn it.
JERMAINE DUPRI: This beat was taking you in a direction
that you really didn't really want to be at.
DA BRAT: You needed this, bro, because you a little too cocky.
You need to bring it down a few notches.
JERMAINE DUPRI: That's that.
I hope everybody understands their competition
at this point.
DA BRAT: Ooh, man, that Hit List got flipped inside-out
and turned upside-down.
You think it's gonna stay like that?
Find out next week, y'all.
Imma see y'all next time on "Da Brat Game."
