Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Rap Sh!t - Season Two

Rap Sh!t or Rap Shit is round two Issa Rae and HBO (Max). This was also the second run of the thirt something minute sexy-comedy. Season two premiered on early November, airing week to week, concluding last night on Binge. Season two was originally set to debut in August, but was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

The Miami-based rappers (Aida Osman and KaMillion) sound a lot like Yung Miami and JT (City Girls) who are also co-executive producers.

Season two was a lot. Will it be enough for HBO Max to give it a third outing? End of year cancellations are currently coming in. With this ending only recently, I feel good or bad news for the series is just around the corner.

Spoilers below for episode eight, the finale, Under Construction. Also a total of a brilliant Missy Elliot record.

Francois and the girls have a successful recording session with Pardison Fontaine. Pardison asks them questions about their personal lives to better understand their artistic vision, which Shawna hesitates to discuss. 

At a meeting with Alex, she reveals that Red Bull is offering a deal in which they retain their creative control and masters, though they are interested in an EP with Lamont as a producer. 

At Melissa's birthday party, Mia's card declines when she attempts to pay for the bounce castle and asks Lamont for help. Tiffany's presence at the party disgruntles Mia. 

During a dance battle, Melissa accidentally hits Tiffany's daughter, Lulu, and Lamont blames Mia for instigating it. 

Consequently, he declines to work with Mia again. Shawna and Maurice spend time together before he surrenders, and he invites her to his going-away party. Francois calls Shawna and previews their new track but is livid when Shawna informs him of the girls' deal with Red Bull and threatens to scrap the track if they continue with Chastity. Mia and Shawna discuss what to do about the ultimatum. 

Chastity crashes Alex's meeting with Kirk and convinces him to give the girls a better offer. Upset at being undermined, Alex ends things with Chastity. Shawna goes live and puts Gat on blast for using Lord AK as clout. Her reaction elicits the attention of big-name female rappers and Francois implores her to take advantage of the notoriety. 

The girls fire Chastity as their manager, choosing to continue with Francois. Having sacrificed so much for the girls, Chastity leaves heartbroken. 

Maurice prepares to leave for prison and gives Stanley his phone, telling him he never deleted the recordings. Chastity meets with Gat and Reina, and the girls debut their new single BBW on TikTok.

Will we see a third season of the Miami duo's rise to fame? I am guessing not. It was delayed from its OG start date, series are being cancelled left, right and centre. While Warner (HBO) and Paramount might be merging in the future. That means a lot of shows will get the chop!

Stay tuned still a few more Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' posts. NCIS Sydney next week while Real Housewives of Sydney's rebooted second season will also land soon. Maybe even the fourth season of Sydney's favourite family series, Bump on Stan.
