Let's talk about the Rap Critic (aka Masta Artisan, aka Daren Jackson).The resident reviewer of hip-hop and rap music for Channel Awesome (until his departure in 2018). He is also found on RVT. He raps a little as well, but not in his reviews; well, not much anyway. In 2014 he started the "Goin' Off" podcast with Marc Mues. In 2015, he started a segment called "Music Skitteos", in which he riffs on hip-hop music videosHis work can be found here and here, and his Twitter is here. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: After "Hey Soul Sister"'s "So gangsta, I'm so thug", he says "Next, there's gonna be an Asian pop group who says they're gangsta too". Cut to a similar line of "Like a G6"... And during his review of "Women Lie, Men Lie": Completely averted with his review of Lil Wayne and Eminem's "No Love" - after Lil Wayne's verse which he finds amazing, he gets to Eminem's chorus and keeps saying it's going to disappoint him, which it doesn't. Then the verse comes and the same thing happens and he ends up giving the song a 6 out of 5, one of two songs he's reviewed to get that honor. In his review of Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen", he expresses relief that the song does not use the "stealing your girlfriend" cliche, just before the song brings it up in the final few lines. | |

| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Discussed; Rap Critic notes that, while "Flatline" by Bo B was allegedly meant to be about the rapper's belief in a Flat World, this barely comes up in the song itself and you'd only know the context if you follow B.o.B on Twitter. | |

Scare Chord: Used to do this whenever he Breaks the Rating Scale. When he gave a 6 out of 5 (for "No Love" by Eminem and Lil Wayne), he even lampshaded the Scare Chord by telling it to shut up. | |

The Cameo | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: He appeared in Sad Panda's Q and A Episode 1, Paw Dugan's list of Top 9 Marx Brothers Music Moments, Todd in the Shadows' review of "Whip My Hair" and Atop the Fourth Wall's review of "Eminem/The Punisher #1". In return the Animetalchick appears in "Just Can't Get Enough" (though she only calls herself "the camera guy's sister", with her name appearing in her next appearance). She also returns in a Worst Lyrics of September 2011 to comment on two ("tokyo diamonds!" and "I like them black, white, Puerto Rican, or Haitian Like Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian!") and Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci" as a "Female Rap Critic". Bhargav, Demoversi, Todd in the Shadows, Il Neige, and Diamanda Hagan all have cameos in his crossover with Marc Mues. As The Nostalgia Critic had reviewed Kazaam, the Rap Critic tried to get him for a Shaq Diesel crossover. It doesn't work. He offers Marc Mues a rhyme in his "Worst 6 Pop Songs of 2011" video. Long cameo in the Brows Held High episode for Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, explaining to Oancitizen who RZA is, and at the end, giving a 2/5 to Kyle's rap. Kyle too assists with Rap Critic's review of "Picasso Baby" by Jay-Z. Provides a voice-over cameo in Film Brain's review of The Marine as a sitcom narrator. He provided an explanation of Vanilla Ice's career for Linkara's review of Ice's biographical comic. He notably did this after going on break to work on his album. | |

| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_1e68311c | comment |
"No. Just… No" Reaction: He gives this expression several times, including: When choosing a Lil Wayne song and coming across "A Milli". At the line in "The Jump Off" where Lil' Kim tells listeners of his race to pollute their britches by the mere presence of her and Timbaland. Topping off his review of "Hustlin'". | |

Misaimed Fandom | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_233d181 | comment |
Misaimed Fandominvoked: Throughout Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda", RC expresses bewilderment at the fact that many critics were championing the song as a pro-feminist reclamation of power from the song it's sampling, despite it doing next to nothing to prove that and in fact appearing regressive in its cheap sexual pandering to an obviously male audience. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: In the closest thing we've gotten to a Story Arc from the otherwise strictly review-based Rap Critic, Lil Wayne drags the Critic to hell and convinces him to stop criticizing his music. Not only does all of this happen off-screen, but a few videos later the Critic is back to bashing Lil Wayne like nothing happened. He mentions in "The Top 9 Worst Lyrics of 2011" that they settled matters amicably. | |

Know-Nothing Know-It-All | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_2484396e | comment |
Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Discussed in "Top 10 Worst Lyrics I've Ever Heard...This Year (2017)" as an examination of the increasingly common term "fake deep". RC goes through lengths to point out that being "fake deep" doesn't merely mean being preachyinvoked like some believe it to be — Jaden Smith ends up falling into the proper definition (and thus RC's ire) by rambling about complete nonsense and luxuriating in how "profound" he believes it to be. | |

Broke the Rating Scale | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_24fbee90 | comment |
Broke the Rating Scale: He's used both kinds of Type 1. He's given several 0 out of 5 ratings, and eight 6 out of 5 ratings note ("No Love" by Eminem & Lil Wayne), "Bitch Bad" by Lupe Fiasco, "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill, "Slam" by Onyx, "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West, "Elevators (Me & U)" by OutKast, "Darkness" by Eminem, and "Handlebars" by Flobots. He refused to give a rating for "Loyal" because that would mean he would he have to actually acknowledge Chris Brown as a legit rapper. He was about to give a rating to "Lifestyle", but just before that he declared that the song was absolutely awful and refused to spend any more time with it, then the video ended. He gave "Bad and Boujee" by Migos ft. Lil Uzi Vert the following, scathing (non)rating: | |

Analogy Backfire | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_2b5ab7c1 | comment |
Analogy Backfire: In the David Banner review, after David Banner's line, "I beat it like Mike when he fucked Billie Jean," Rap Critic exasperatedly points out that the point of that song was for Michael to say that he didn't have sex with her. He points out that the "And she's a patient in my waiting room" line in Drake's "Best I Ever Had" could also mean that this girl is waiting for Drake while he's busy with somebody else. When discussing I Know You See It, Rap Critic is horrified when Yung Joc brags about a woman giving him a blowjob "like she's chewin' bubble gum." In "Top 5 Worst Lyrics- Aug 2014", Nelly manages to make it at #1 with the sentence "Shake it like a paraplegic." While Rick Ross came a close second with the line "I'm the biggest rapper alive, google me, expedia." Expedia's a travel site. He points out that the line "Dick bigger than a tower/I ain't talkin' 'bout Eiffel's" from Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" actually makes the guy's dick look pretty small. | |

Don't Shoot the Message | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_2f1bddff | comment |
Don't Shoot the Message: RC addresses this with his overview of Hopsin's "Fly". While he put it up as the 7th best song of 2015 and defended the infamous "Did the man who invented college go to college?" line — arguing that within context, it's an apt assessment of the arbitrary institutionalization of prestige and elitism in education — RC also points out that Hopsin doesn't help his case though the smarmy dismissal of his listeners. | |

Girl on Girl Is Hot | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_340575a7 | comment |
Girl on Girl Is Hot: In-Universe, Todd and the Critic argued that the cheated girlfriend on "It Wasn't Me" was following the action so closely that she probably wanted to be a part of it. And said the cheater would be a lucky guy for this! In his cameo on Todd in the Shadows' "Girl On Fire," his reaction to the spirit of Marilyn Monroe inviting Nicki Minaj into her bed: "Niiiice!" (Which immediately turns to horror when said spirit apparently starts asking Nicki to commit suicide with her.) Averted in the Mac and Devin Go To High School review, again with Todd in the Shadows. At one point, Mac rejects the advances of two girls because he's supposedly fallen for the teacher from earlier. They ask Mac what they're supposed to do, and Mac suggests "each other." The girls promptly start making out. RC's reaction: | |

Sex Sellsinvoked: Discussed at great length on his video on "Anaconda", expressing skepticism on the "controversy" surrounding the single's artwork of Nicki and her butt considering the packed history of her and other female rappers doing the same thing, as well as the larger issue of depicting them sexually in either empowering or reductive ways. | |

Poe's Law | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_3950c1f0 | comment |
Poe's Law: In-Universe. "Show Me" by Kid Ink ft. Chris Brown is based on a pick-up line so ineffective that he wonders if they're trying to parody the corny pick-up lines in songs by taking it to Seinfeldian levels and having a pick-up line about nothing. But then he realizes that's too existential for them. He says that David Banner's album, Certified is such an exaggeratedly stereotypical rap album that it's hard to tell whether or not one should take it seriously at the beginning. During the "Fucking" song, he says that it's so over the top that you'd think it was a parody, but no no they're serious. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: He points out that the message of "Ridin'" (about how cops resort to racial profiling to get away with police brutality) is completely invalidated when Chamillionaire & Krayzie Bone rap about not only fulfilling those negative stereotypes, but also by bragging about breaking the law and having warrants "in every city except Houston". When talking about "No Flex Zone," Rap Critic calls out Rae Sremmurd for bragging about how much money they have despite the song's message supposedly being that bragging is bad. | |

Shallow parodies that rely on Stylistic Suck rather than saying something about the music it's parodying. It's the major reason why "Pussy" ended up on his Worst of 2014 list. | |

He sees it as an attempt to take back the derogatory images much in the same way black entertainers try and take back the n-word. Though instead of a title card referencing the song as with most episodes, the title card artist is drawn arguing with the Rap Critic over having to depict that. | |

In the Crossover review with Diamanda Hagan on the Insane Clown Posse movie Big Money Rustlas, Rap Critic admits he actually found a decent number of the gags in the movie to be pretty funny (and in general found Rustlas to be a much better movie compared to it's predecessor, Big Money Hustlas), particularly Sugar Wolf's cartoon-like "pimp slap" scenes. When listening to this T-Pain's "Rap Song", he starts laughing uncontrollably at this little line, and couldn't bring himself to review the lyric (Which technically means I only have FIVE lyrics for this month...) | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: He discusses this trope in the What's Luv review. He says that Fat Joe is a decent rapper who had the bad luck of being a frequent collaborator with Big Punisher. It got to the point when during his earlier review of Lean Back, he claimed that Big Pun was the leader of Terror Squad, and Fat Joe took over after his death when in reality Joe was always the leader. He corrects this mistake while admitting his surprise of it in What's Luv. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: He calls this on Drake's "Best I Ever Had", which goes from love song to sex song. He illustrates by juxtaposing a clip from The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" with a clip from Nine Inch Nails' "Closer". He calls this on Lil Wayne's lyrics in "Every Girl", similarly illustrating it by combining a clip from Prince's "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" with Snoop Dogg and Lil Jon's "Step Ya Game Up". He criticizes the whiplash between the verses and chorus of Terror Squad's "Lean Back", and illustrates by combining the verse of Tupac Shakur's "Brenda's Got a Baby" with the chorus of a song by Shawty Put. Intentional on his album Rapper's Liebe. "It's Alright, It's Okay" is about the protagonist telling a girl that just rejected him he's okay with it. The next song, "Oh My God", reveals how he actually feels: He invokes it in his Best of 2015 list. After picking the incredibly somber "Madonna [And Other Mothers in the Hood]" as his #4, he punks the audience into thinking he put "Hotline Bling" at #3 to lighten the mood a bit. It turns out his actual #3 (Pusha T's "Untouchable") is just as dark. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: In his review of David Banner's Certified, he notes that in real life, David Banner comes off as a lot more intelligent than his music implies, suggesting that he seems to purposely be playing up rap stereotypes to sell more records. | |

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: ...and when they are unintelligible, they read "?". Mystikal combines this with attempts to trying to get lyrics other than "I came in here with my dick in my hand!" Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Shaq Diesel, a particularly garbled song is interrupted with "*you don't pay me enough to do this...*" Also, during Tech N9NE's Motor Mouth lyrics, it says "what do you expect me to do here?", explaining that it's hard to type and the editing software can't paste text. This occurs multiple times in his review of "Lifestyle". | |

Pandering to the Base: Invoked.

To which the Rap Critic agrees and then starts hitting on his female viewers. It gets pretty awkward. | |

Precision F-Strike: When he does one of these, it's VERY noticeable, since he tends to dislike unnecessary cussing. But sometimes, he just has to break his usual polite manner and vent with an f-bomb. His reaction to a line in Waka Flocka Flame's "O Let's Do It" referencing lynching and shooting a guy for talking bad about him. The other times he swears in the series could be counted on one hand. Gives a proper, uncensored one in his "Worst Lyrics I've Ever Heard...This Year (2013)" review, in which he tells Lil Wayne that "there's a fucking limit" to how far you can take sexual hyperbole after Wayne compares having rough sex to the death of Emmett Till. He does another censored one at the end of his review of "Show Me": "You don't have to like my opinion, but *** this song!" The O.O.C. Is Serious Business example above. Not only an f-bomb, but an n-bomb as well. Drops one at the end of his review of Wiz Khalifa's "We Dem Boyz", after savaging the song for being lazy, uninspired tripe: | |

Pet-Peeve Trope: He has a few: Painful Rhyme Piss-Take Rap Product Placement: Once he reacts with a plug of his own record. In The Worst Lyrics of 2014, the RC got very upset at P. Diddy for name-dropping his brand of vodka in a song against police brutality towards black people. Rhyming with Itself Having both verses end on the last four bars. He is especially hard on Pitbull's "Timber" for this. Shallow parodies that rely on Stylistic Suck rather than saying something about the music it's parodying. It's the major reason why "Pussy" ended up on his Worst of 2014 list. As mentioned above, Auto-Tune when used in rap. Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion, mainly for when it's done out of sheer laziness rather than trying to use it for an actual clever design choice such as with Twenty One Pilots. | |

Rage-Breaking Point: In his review of "I Don't F--- With You" by Big Sean, the Rap Critic is trying to be patient with Big Sean's trademark repetitiveness. But then his patience runs out. And at the end of Anaconda, when the lyrical content (which he found to be terrible) was over, but the beat continued pointlessly after. Bad And Boujee tested his patience not only for being the same tripe that had been done a million times by that point, but for having phoned-in rhymes and abysmal lyrics on top of that. By the forth quarter, he couldn't take anymore and eventually rates it a "get the fuck out of my face". | |

What the Hell, Hero?: In his "Worst Lyrics of 2012", he does this to Nicki Minaj for not trying and to her fans for buying music from her that had no effort put into it. In his "Worst Lyrics of 2014", Lupe Fiasco - whom the Rap Critic still has a lot of respect for - was #3. The Rap Critic's reaction to the song was at first complete confusion but then he calls him out for it. A milder case in "Top 10 WORST Lyrics of 2017", where during his supercut of various grown rappers embarrassing themselves by using the word "wee-wee", he expresses disappointed annoyance that even Kendrick Lamar succumbed to it. | |

| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Eminem rapping "Now I would never dis my own mama just to get recognition" earns five hostile lyrics against Shady's mom. He calls 50 Cent out on this in his review of "21 Questions", in terms of both his rivalry with Ja Rule over his Rated G for Gangsta image (only to craft one for himself not long after) and his mockery of Kanye West for using Auto-Tune (only to go on to use it on his next album). RC also calls out Young Thug for claiming to hate clones despite his music and public image being an exact carbon copy of Lil Wayne's Signature Style: He also takes Rae Sremmurd to task for making a song called "No Flex Zone," a song ostensibly about how you should Be Yourself and stop bragging... only for the group members themselves to brag unrealistically about their wealth and success. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He teams up with Mues to review their top ten least favorite Eminem songs. When "Just Lose It" shows up on the countdown Rap Critic flatly states that if we want to know his opinion on this record that we should watch his old review because he refused to subject himself to the song. Mues is caught off guard by this and gets revenge before moving on to the next song. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: "Fucking" by David Banner has explicit lyrics with multiple f-bombs and a smooth R&B sound. It gets to the point where leads to Poe's Law territory. You'd think the censored version would be less unintentionally comedic by having less dissonance. But it's actually worse (or possibly better) invoked in that regard. In "Top 6 Most Haunting Songs in Hip-Hop", he cites this trope as the reason "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" is not placed higher. It is about ghetto paranoia, yet the song uses a fairly upbeat instrumental typical of the era. He expressed confusion about Kanye West's "Bound 2" actually being a subversion; he knew the song's sample was singing "Bound to falling in love", but it took him a while to realize that the song really is about being in love considering some of Kanye's tonally inappropriate contributions. | |

Top Ten List | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_e818a2eb | comment |
Top Ten List: He does a "Top 9 Worst Rhymes of 2010". And explaining the number, he does a reverse of The Nostalgia Critic's explanation/number. To continue with the Top 9 worst lyrics for every year since 2010, he has also done "Top 8 Best Rap Songs" for every year, starting with 2011 as well. The first explaination for why it's top 8 involved him saying that Adele is not a rapper, while the second one involves how everyone expects a Top 10 these days. | |

Crossover | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_eb6da8ef | comment |
Crossover: With Todd in the Shadows for "It Wasn't Me", and the Animetalchick in a "Worst Lyrics" battle between rap and metal. And again to review Runaway. The Rap Critic ended up doing a cameo appearance for Todd's Best Songs of 2012 video, collaborated with him to review Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa's Mac & Devin Go To High School, and then had an appearance in Todd's review on Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire" just to help Todd with the A Wild Rapper Appears! in Nicki Minaj. What makes this notable was that it was for three straight Todd videos in a row that he had appeared in!note When Todd lampshaded that fact in "Girl on Fire" one too many times, Rap Critic gave him a Death Glare. He and Todd jointly review Brad Paisley's "Accidental Racist", which eventually devolves into an argument over who makes the song suck, with the Rap Critic saying LL Cool J's guest lyrics ruin the message, while Todd claims that it's Brad Paisley's fault for coming up with the idea in the first place. With Marc Mues for "Raise Up" and Soulja Boy: The Movie. Pops up frequently enough in the Brows Held High review of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai given the films context and score by The RZA to be more than just a cameo. Especially as he winds up reviewing Oancitizen's Rap-Analysis of the film and director Jim Jarmusch's style, Oan gets a 2 out of 5. He teamed up with Film Brain to review Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, as well as the 50 Cent movie Set Up. He teamed up with Cinematic Venom to review Moulin Rouge!. | |

How the Mighty Have Fallen: During the "Worst Lyrics of March 2015", RC inadvertently highlights this when discussing the Ying Yang Twins, who — long after their their heyday in the mid 2000's — made a diss track in 2013 against Kanye West and French Montana for ripping off their trademark "HAAAANH?" ad-lib... which was of such little consequence that at the time of the episode's release, the official YouTube music video only amassed 4.7k views. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: No one else from TGWTG knowing who he is, or mistaking him for Todd in the Shadows, or kicking him out of their reviews. His use of the "How romantic!" clip from The Aristocats as a reaction to something decidedly unromantic in an alleged love song. If Lil Wayne comes up, he will mention (with disbelief) that Wayne is the most popular rapper in America. Also, Lil Wayne's lack of skill with a guitar. Exasperation at cliche brags from rappers about being able to steal his girlfriend. Defenestration tends to pop up a lot in Rap Libs. Keeping a Lupe Fiasco CD handy for when he needs to cleanse his brain of a particularly stupid lyric. Naively assuming that a great performer will break sales records and chart highly on the Billboard. He is always sorely disappointed. | |

| The Rap Critic (Web Video) / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: Whenever the lyrics are overtly stupid, the caption reads something along the line of *lyrics are too insulting to my intellect to type*... Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: ...and when they are unintelligible, they read "?". Mystikal combines this with attempts to trying to get lyrics other than "I came in here with my dick in my hand!" Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Shaq Diesel, a particularly garbled song is interrupted with "*you don't pay me enough to do this...*" Also, during Tech N9NE's Motor Mouth lyrics, it says "what do you expect me to do here?", explaining that it's hard to type and the editing software can't paste text. This occurs multiple times in his review of "Lifestyle". In the Worst Lyrics of September 2011, the "Owned by [Record Label]" gets this twice: "Rubberband Banks" is "owned by label that's owned by one of the Big Four REAL record companies that own all the music you listen to" and "Balla Baby" is "...well, I'm not sure if ANYONE wants to take credit for this...". For Tech N9NE's "Areola", the subtitles read: | |

Brick Joke: Snoop Dogg leading an army of gummy bears in a Katy Perry music video.

Later in his "Worst Lyrics of October 2012" video, he parodies rap's obsession with "haters" by claiming that someone saying he shouldn't play near the road is just hating, only to be ran over by Ice Cube. | |
