Karik corrects the hottest contestant of Rap Viet

Karik spoke for many viewers when he commented that female contestant Shayda was singing too much in Rap Viet season 4.

After the fight between YP and Shayda, Karik did the same as the coaches and judges, voting for Shayda to continue. However, Karik frankly suggested that Shayda should show more pure rapping ability, if she has a chance to continue in Rap Viet, instead of a performance that mainly focuses on singing.

Since the beginning of Rap Viet season 4, Shayda has been a contestant who has received mixed opinions. The female rapper was Suboi judging from the casting round with the privilege of "first choice". However, Shayda's performance in the Conquest round was mostly just singing. Following Quang Anh Rhyder's mistake in season 3, Shayda was criticized by the audience, especially rap fans.

Sensitive

Since Rap Viet season 3, the audience has been especially sensitive to rappers who abuse their singing voices. Last year, Rhyder almost only sang but was still protected by coach Andree Right Hand to go all the way to the Rap Viet finals. Andree explained that Rhyder used Rn"B material, with elements of Melodic rap. However, the audience now easily distinguishes and separates singing and rapping.

Shayda's performance in the Rap Viet Conquest round of season 4 is a continuation of the controversial topic in the rap world. The fact that Shayda sang too much but was still chosen by the coaches caused controversy among the audience. It was even more surprising when this was the contestant that Suboi used her only privilege, which was to proactively "book" the contestant right from the casting round.

In round 2 of Rap Viet season 4, Shayda returned to the stage in the JP competition. The female rapper's performance was overall a catchy song, showcasing her vocal strengths and melodic writing skills. However, Shayda repeated the problem of singing too much. She only rapped a short part, not enough to highlight the flow, delivery, and attitude of a real rapper in the performance.

After the Conquest round, Shayda shouldered the heaviest pressure among Suboi's contestants. In the comparison scale between the 4 rappers who received the "first choice" privilege alongside 7dnight, Gill and Manbo, Shayda was rated the lowest in terms of skills and reputation in the industry. In theory, Shayda should be Suboi's team's trump card for the next rounds.

However, the reality is that Shayda has not proven much. Karik's sharing is short but contains many messages. The negativity aimed at Shayda has reached its peak and if she does not balance her singing and rapping, the female rapper will really follow in Rhyder's footsteps.

Suboi's team is at a disadvantage.

At the end of the confrontation episode, the contestants who won the right to continue with Suboi were Willistic, Shayda, Dacia and Saabirose. Queen B was saved by Karik with a golden hat. Before that, Suboi threw her hat to snatch Coldzy from Karik's team.

Suboi's team was rated lower than the other 3 teams since the Conquest round ended. In fact, Suboi only chose 7 contestants, not enough to arrange the matches, so she had to choose Gnob - who was not chosen in the first round.

The winners of Suboi's team's match were not surprising. Looking at the performance of the contestants from the beginning of the show, the audience had the answer to whether Shayda was really the strongest contestant on Suboi's team or not. Instead of Shayda, Saabirose was the best factor that Suboi won in Rap Viet this season.

The battle between Saabirose and Queen B created the most impression and emotion in the Suboi Team Confrontation episode. From the Conquest round to round 2, Saabirose showed her qualities as a relatively comprehensive female rapper, with her strongest point being her voice. Meanwhile, Queen B has been a familiar face in the industry, has long been recognized as a female rapper with very high rap power, and has achieved many things with her unique personality.

Saabirose and Queen B being eliminated is a pity for Suboi. If Queen B had fallen into the wild card round with her freestyle, Suboi could have saved this female rapper, but Karik quickly threw away his golden hat, even though there were a series of B Ray's key contestants ahead of him.

With Saabirose, Suboi still has a lot of material to explore for the next round. This is the female contestant at the center of Rap Viet season 4, similar to the position that tlinh and Liu Grace once had. Meanwhile, Queen B is very strong in combat, in the hands of any coach, she is a formidable opponent that makes opponents wary in the next round.

Suboi's decision to save Coldzy for her team is understandable. Coldzy is a contestant with high name recognition in this year's competition, highly regarded for his skills and stage presence. However, in the Confrontation round, Coldzy did not show any signs of breaking out of his comfort zone. Coldzy is now the most famous and experienced contestant on the team. Suboi has the additional task of waking up the rapper who was once considered a "monster" before season 4 began.

The history of Rap Viet season 1 is repeating itself with Suboi. 4 years ago, Suboi also had the weakest group of contestants in the Confrontation round. In the Breakthrough round, Suboi's team only had tlinh left but had to rely on JustaTee's golden hat to rescue her.
