Rhythm + Flow Trailer: Netflix’s Edgy Hip-Hop Competition Brings the Fire (‘This Ain’t The Voice, Motherf—ka!’)
If you’re looking for a nice, soothing, Norah Jones-ish singing competition to lull you to sleep… well, Rhythm + Flow ain’t it, OK?
Netflix‘s new hip-hop competition series — debuting Wednesday, Oct. 9 on the streamer, with new episodes released on the following two Wednesdays as well — comes out of the gates strong, based on the new trailer above, with big names (Cardi B, Chance the Rapper and Tip “T.I.” Harris serve as judges, with guest appearances from Quavo, Big Boi and Nipsey Hussle) and even bigger talent. We see the judges comb cities like L.A., New York, Atlanta and Chicago looking for diamonds in the rough, with the best contestants facing off in fierce head-to-head rap battles to win a spot in the final rounds.
Their desire is real (“I need this,” one contender admits through tears), and the judges offer them some tough love along the way to help shape their sound. The show has a distinct edge to it, too: After one particularly combative rap battle, guest judge Snoop Dogg announces, “This ain’t The Voice, motherf–cka!”
Press PLAY on the video above for a first look at Rhythm + Flow, and then hit the comments and tell us: Will you be watching?
Nipsey Hussle will be on? That’d be a neat trick as he’s dead.
Do you not understand the concept of a video recording?
Ghettotrash, making America great.
Precisely
Distaste. Disgrace. Lil DUMB and the Doggs on display. How did we as a country settle for this garbage? Jazz, the Blues, Rock, all progressive and inspiring onward. Then came this worthless pathetic trash. Pathetic!!!!!
Jazz, blues and rock..all made by the same people who made what you call garbage
Checkout flawless. Real talk hes on show hes got substance
Great, a competition to find who acts the most foolish with stupid ranting about their crappy life choices.
guest judge Snoop Dogg announces, “This ain’t The Voice, motherf–cka!”
Just the swearing alone will cause me not to watch it. Let the Dog snoop his poop.
Good thing they won’t allow any anti-American, anti-White or misogynistic lyrics on the show.
How long till someone gets shot? The hip hop to prison pipeline is open. Just remember hip hop producers are shareholders in private prisons, like Jay Z is.
Usually around 3 a.m. Sunday, outside an Atlanta recording studio. The 3rd leading cause of African-American fatalities in 2017…burp…
Great. More garbage from Netflix.
It’s not “garbage” it’s just, gangster, whore, pimp, greed, noise… I mean “music”…. = garbage.
Came for the MAGA racist comments and they didn’t disappoint as always
Correct. We don’t celebrate destructive garbage culture just because children on the internet call us racist.
But you celebrate a destructive garbage president that’s much worse than the stereotype you think this show perpetuates
Dont worry, the next Dem POTUS will make sure all the new jobs for minorities are lost and ya’all are back in the ghettos depending on a white Dem hand for your daily bread.
Living in the best of times and all you do is b-tch.
Did your “perfesser”…the one with sheepskins in Blunt Smokin’ and Wakandan Malt Liquor Consumption (mentored by Oswald Bates at Whatsamatta U)…apprise you of the president’s foibles?
gangstere, thug, whore, pimp, money noise, not thanks.
Buy no more “music” from record labels etc. search for independent real music. Enough gangster, whore, pimp, noise, trash already.
Its the same now with country and what passes for rock today.
Its all condensed and sounds the same.
The cultural decline and collapse of America continues. The barbarians are already inside the gates
Hop hop. Its been around what, 30 years? Its getting old, tired. We all know hip hop culture, the clothing, the commercialization. ANOTHER showcase of East Coast/West Coast rap. That not even original anymore, Yo
Give me old school funk, some Chaka Khan, Con Funk Shun.
You want a REAL show? Go deep into the streets and the graveyards and do a show for death metal.
Yes, mostly white areas but you know there is more to music than ghetto music.
RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES!
It’s… um… ghetto-fabulous. Yes, I think that’s the word.
Can’t wait to miss it! Thanks for the warning.
Just one more reason I don’t have Netflix.
Up and coming rapper Hershey Brown was supposed to compete but was unfortunately shot to death outside an Atlanta recording studio at 3 a.m. Sunday morning.
The ‘anti racists’ are actually just Anti White.
White “privilege” in South Africa: Being literally tortured to death with boiling water, blowtorches, power drills, among other things.
White “privilege”: Outrageously one-sided violent crime committed against you, including “random” rape and murder by “youths” and “teens”.
White “privilege”: Having no right to a homeland for the safety and security your children. No right to cultural or demographic self-preservation. No right to borders anywhere, not even in Europe!
No! No! A thousand times NO! “Netflix” does NOT need to cater to the lowest common denominator of those who love to watch “Trashy, Garbage TV”. As if our society isn’t polarized enough, here comes a show that glorifies thugs, bitches, ho’s, Booty, Benjamins, gaudy gold chains and a super sized helping of good old “disrespect for authority figures”! Just when I think we can’t sink any lower, up from the depths comes a show like THIS one!
Besides fried chicken, watermelanin, and endlessly repetitive obscene sing-song rhymes penned by kindergarten-level mental midgets…what exactly do weave-wearing Wakandans and ex-con gang-bangers like Poop Dogg add to American culture? They seem mostly to contribute thuggery, illiteracy, innumeracy, bastardy, internecine deaths, and whining.
How DARE anyone suggest that blacks are rude-crude-lewd and hellbent on destroying the very cultures they mooch from!
These people are so classy…
Having a judging and hosting panel made up of all one race seems counter to the muti-cultural message delivered by the media.
It is 2019, I think I will pass and seek out a show that better represents all of america
I wonder how the Obamas feel about this. Aren’t they on the Netflix board?
When you cannot sink ANY Lower this is what you come up with! And people wonder why culture in America has deteriorated to the lowest point in our History.
