toastykittenOk, Mark TiVoed this: Ego Trip's (White) Rapper Show and we just finished watching it. After watching this, we season-passed it.
The first ten minutes were mostly painful. And fucking weird.
One of the rappers called himself "John Brown" and I was like, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Anyway, he's not that good, and his response to anything he's asked is "I'm the king of the 'burbs!" And for some reason he's all about the "ghetto revival". No clue what that means.
I liked Persia at first, who seemed pretty cool until she blew up at John Brown. She got punished in the show for using the n-word by being forced to wear a giant silver chain that said, "N-WORD", which I actually thought was kind of brilliant. It forced Persia to reconsider what she was saying, and how she'd gone too far. Someone should make Michael Richards wear it.
The show is not a trainwreck in the manner of say, "Flavor of Love". The people who are in this seem to be taking it seriously, and they're staying in the Bronx, and dude, they all got to meet Grandmaster Flash. So far I like most of the competitors, and I liked that at the end of the show, they actually got real critiques on stuff they rapped.
A lot of it was still a trainwreck, though.
