Reception

In a mixed review, Common Sense Medias Melissa Camacho gave the series two stars, calling it "an iffy viewing choice for tweens" though she liked that it gave "mature teens a chance to learn more about the rap and hip-hop culture".[4] Anastasia Kotsosavas of the Philadelphia Weekly called Miss Rap Supreme "equally cheesetastic" to its predecessor The (White) Rapper Show. She said she anticipated a mix of Flavor of Love and American Idol but found a rap version of Paradise Hotel.[5]

The Detroit News television critic Adam Graham thought that people who liked White Rappers "playful take on hip-hop culture" would like Miss Rap Supremes scenes. He cited how the competitors in the debut episode were given the task of rapping for some "sisters" who turned out to be nuns and sorority sisters.[6] Malcolm X. Abram of the Akron Beacon Journal thought that although the hosts MC Serch and Yo-Yo genuinely hoped to identify a skilled woman rapper, the contestant Khia had a "bad attitude and lack of talent".[7]
