Hey guys, this is CDTVProductions and welcome to a new episode of Best Verses on Lil Rhubarb
Hair.
Now Lil Tomato Dreads is a rapper I have mixed feelings on because I loved the first Lil
Boat tape, but I felt much less warm towards the second one.
However, he still does have some verses that are actually pretty good.
So with that being said, this is CDTVProductions and let’s get right into the video.
Clip: Lil Yachty "For Hot 97" (Verse 1)
Now most of the time I hate when Yachty tries to make a hard ass rapping track, but he does
a good enough job here that I like it.
It has a decent story behind it too.
This verse came after Yachty did a kinda funny but also awkward freestyle on Hot 97, which
led to the hosts there having a conversation with him about how his bars aren’t the best.
Yachty admitted in that interview he doesn’t take rapping seriously, even though he seems
to want to prove the opposite here, but nonetheless he put out this track.
Yeah the bars aren’t amazing here, but they’re alright and there’s less cringe worthy lines
than usual.
Nothing on the level of “she blow that dick like a cello”.
Not to mention his flow is solid here, it’s usually awkward and stilted when he tries
to rap, so I appreciate that it was smoother here.
Also whilst we’re talking about it, I’ve seen Tech N9ne take shots at Hot 97 recently,
so I wonder if this is gonna become more of a thing.
Clip: Calvin Harris "Faking It (feat.
Lil Yachty & Kehlani)" (Verse 3)
Interestingly, these are the types of songs I like Yachty on, for the most part.
Recently he’s been doing pretty well on these more poppy, mainstream songs, and he
brings a ridiculously catchy verse for this collab with Calvin Harris and Kehlani.
His flow just runs perfectly on the bounce of the instrumental, and I was surprised by
how on point the flow was here.
Hell, I think Kehlani is a fantastic singer, and does really well on here, and I still
mainly listen to this track for Lil Boat.
It’s got a little bit of emotion behind it, and Yachty shows his goofy charm on this
track which is what he does best.
Really enjoyed this verse a lot.
One of my favourites on here.
Clip: Post Malone "Monta (feat.
Lil Yachty)" (Verse 2)
This is such a feel good verse and I absolutely love it.
Yachty comes with some incredibly dope melodies here, possibly some of the nicest melodies
I’ve ever heard Yachty sing.
Yes “they big as a toe and sh**” is maybe the laziest comparison ever made, but it doesn’t
even irritate me on this track cause Yachty provides such a happy verse here.
Very cool collab between him and Post Malone.
Clip: Lil Yachty "Momma" (Verse 2)
Alright alright, call me a big soft boy, big softie CDTV, but I think this verse is pretty
cute.
As the title implies, Yachty dedicates this song to his momma, and it makes for one of
the best tracks on Teenage Emotions.
I know that’s not exactly an achievement, it’s like being the smartest brain cell
in Lil Pump’s head, there’s not much competition, but I think this would still make for a good
track even on one of Yachty’s stronger projects.
Yachty tells us about repaying his mother for all the love she gave him by buying her
a new, new car and new jewellery.
It’s nice to hear how much of his success he wants to share with her and it sounds like
they have a really great relationship.
I never thought I’d say this, but we got a genuinely heartwarming track from Yachty
with this one.
Clip: Carnage "Mase In ‘97 (feat.
Lil Yachty)" (Verse 2)
Now whenever Yachty is rapping, it doesn’t exactly harbour the best results, as shown
by his Lil Boat 2 album.
However this is one of the rare examples where his execution is actually pretty solid.
I chose the second verse over the first one because I feel the first one was a bit awkward
flow wise, but the second one is actually quite nice.
There’s not even really any cringey lyrics on the second verse, and there’s some amusing
little lines.
It’s probably the hardest verse Yachty has rapped, and I like the urgent feeling that
the song has with Yachty’s frantic delivery.
People will usually point to this as an example of Yachty rapping well, and I can’t argue
with that.
Clip: Chance the Rapper "Mixtape (feat.
Young Thug & Lil Yachty)" (Verse 3)
I mean Chance the Rapper, who this song is by, said that this his favourite verse from
Chance’s own project.
That’s some pretty high praise, and I could see why he would say it.
It’s definitely one of Yachty’s best Verses hence it being on here.
The beat is suited really well for Yachty’s voice, he flows so smoothly, and I thought
the line “now I spend more than they make at my dentist” was a fairly creative way
for Yachty to brag about his success.
Although I would have to say, I think Logic and even Chance himself also care about cover
art, even though you do also have very aesthetically pleasing cover art yourself Yachty.
Overall it’s one of Yachty’s strongest verses and his singing actually strikes me
as passionate at points during this.
Nice verse.
