What kind of rappers does YG Entertainment look for — perfect voice or unique imperfections?

Unsolved

Hi everyone! I’m curious about what YG Entertainment looks for in rap trainees.

I know some rappers have perfect pronunciation and tone, while others have a unique or slightly imperfect voice that makes them stand out. I’m wondering:

Does YG prefer rappers with perfect pronunciation and flow, or are small imperfections okay if the style and personality are strong?

How important is having a unique vocal color or tone compared to technical perfection?

What do judges focus on most during rap auditions — flow, confidence, tone, stage presence, or originality?

Are there examples of rappers who stood out because of their unique imperfections rather than being technically perfect?

I want to understand how to present myself best in auditions, showing my strengths while keeping my style and individuality. Any advice, examples, or personal experiences would be really helpful. Thanks so much!
