Show Me The Money: Season 9 (2020)

My first time finishing a season to the end!

I've been watching Show Me the Money since season 3, but I think this is the first time in a while that I've actually watched until the end because usually I have a hard time finding subtitles for the later episodes. But SMTM9 is fully subbed and available online to watch!

This season there was 9 rounds for contestants and because of COVID things are obviously different, but I think overall the format worked. Producers choose their team members during the 60 second round instead of later, which makes it harder for contestants to pass but I feel like it was actually a good thing since realistically they have to be chosen by producers later anyways.

There are a lot of familiar faces this season from previous ones, including Swings (who is back as a contestant). I've never really felt strongly about him either way but it was cool of him to come back and compete as a contestant and his stages were entertaining and his shiba (who briefly appears) is adorable. I also got to know a lot of rappers through the show and it's cool to learn about how people are connected with each other, like how Giriboy and Lil Boi were roommates way back when. A lot of really talented rappers were unfortunately eliminated, but there was also some rappers that really showed growth through the show like Kaogai and Miranni.

My favourite performances // songs to add to your Spotify list:

Want It - Khakii, Swings, Layone
Freak - Wonstein, Lil Boi, Chillin Homie
Khundi Panda - Hero ft. Golden (who has the most magical voice)
Swings - Villain ft. Simon D
Tomorrow - Lil Boi ft Giriboy x Seo Dong Hyun
Bad News Cypher vol. 2 - Lil Boi ft. TakeOne
Godok (고독하구만) - Mushvenom ft SuperBee
Upgrade 2020 - Swings

If you're into diss battles, you'll want to watch Swings and Lil Boi, who were both bomb.
