Hosted by MC Serch. Anyone else watching this?

Rule No. 38: A dildo in the face is not a good look.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 04:20 (eighteen years ago)

Why didn't they just call the show "MC Serch"?

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 04:22 (eighteen years ago)

I think this is my new favorite show.

― jodi, samurai photographer (burun), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 04:31 (eighteen years ago)

LOL at Serch cussing out Weezer looking dude

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 04:31 (eighteen years ago)

pretty hillarious. $hamrock and persia seem to be the best so far

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 05:11 (eighteen years ago)

I like Persia a lot. The others... not so much (tho that Paul Wall looking dude was okay). Show was hilarious.. that "ghetto revival" shit had me rolling.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 05:14 (eighteen years ago)

"that paul wall looking dude" could = almost all of them

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 05:53 (eighteen years ago)

Which one was Shamrock?

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 06:00 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't seen this yet, but there's this white rapper at my school who settles/starts 'feuds' via absolutely terrible diss tracks. My high school is in a nice area of Columbia, MO (once ranked second best city to live in--not that it means anything, but you get the point)

Right, yeah he was pretty good. John Brown has got to go.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 08:06 (eighteen years ago)

In that picture, he is more like the Richard Kiel-meets-Lyor Cohen of the show.

Glad to see Serch is still working "IT IS NOT A GAME!!!" really hard.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 08:11 (eighteen years ago)

Pretty much everyone besides $hamrock, Jus Rhyme, Sullee and Persia was chosen on cringe-factor alone.

I like the ads for the Beastie Boys movie in the commercial breaks.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:07 (eighteen years ago)

I also love the one dude who keeps saying "ghetto revival" as if he doesn't know what the words "ghetto" or "revival" mean.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)

I saw a little bit of it. Not sure how I feel about it other than thinking the woman with the line about c-sections should have made it in.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

I wish this was playing in the UK. I always loved Serch. What's the Prime Minister Pete Nice up to?

Yep, full title is Egotrip's The White Rapper Show.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

Have we done an Ego Trip C/D yet? I like them a lot overall. The deliberate "edgy" provocativeness of some of their stuff gets grating, but in short bursts they're funny and pretty much on target. The same tone held through in most of this first episode, I'm hoping it carries throughout the show.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 21:36 (eighteen years ago)

I don't see how anyone could possibly vote dud on Ego Trip (the magazine, the books or any of the VH1 Specials.) VH1 would be a million times better if those guys programmed every show on there.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

A one-liner from one of the Ego Trip shows made me laugh harder than anything else I've ever heard on VH1. They were asking various celebrities what ethnicity or race the various weirder muppets were, and one of the panelists said he thought Animal was Armenian, "because I saw him wearing a tracksuit and shoes one time."

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

Whoa:

Persia Speaks......

You are just sloppy, churlish, childish, disgusting, ugly - inside and out, clearly ignorant, distasteful, you look like you have a wrenchful stench, degrading, you are a loathsome disease, you totally kill all human senses. Your worthless, and I'm sure Donal Trump should of roasted you than Rosie. Looks like you deserve a dust bath. I certainly believe your parents should of went through other routes ofintimacy.

If Jesus still laid in his tomb, no doubt he would be turning after knowing you were created.

You, among others, have ruined the name of hiphop you remind me of a obese version of buckwild from flava flav, and noone i mean noone is jealous cuz "u stylin" why dont u style u damn way down to a gym and run

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 00:50 (eighteen years ago)

My favorite moment was his expression when Persia asked him what he was going to do to revive the ghetto. Complete incomprehension, like she had just asked him what color her invisible tentacles were.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 00:52 (eighteen years ago)

He's got all these readymade wack catchphrases. "Hallelujah hollaback."

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 00:52 (eighteen years ago)

That's one thing that was so pathetic about Dasit not being able to come up with a verse in 30 minutes. Even fucking JOHN BROWN could do it. Also, something about Misfit's flow at the elimination reminded me of Ali G's freestyling.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 01:04 (eighteen years ago)

In the final round they actually battle Ali G.

― Confounded (Confounded), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 03:11 (eighteen years ago)

A bunch of bloggers are taking this sanctimonious tone wrt Dasit's dismissal, reading a ridiculous I'M NOT GONNA DO WHAT THE PRODUCERS TELL ME THIS IS FAKE HIP-HOP thing into it.

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 03:14 (eighteen years ago)

How the hell is "come up with 16 bars, dude w/ worst verse gets eliminated" an unreasonable request in a rapping competition? "There was no music, I write SONGS!" Whatever.

In the final round they actually battle Ali G.

Goddammit now you've got me thinking a show where John Brown interviews politicians, etc. might be kind of funny.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 03:28 (eighteen years ago)

The Step-Off (TM) rodent at the end was the best part. Dasit has a verse on a new MC Hammer track.

john brown is still a doofus but the clip of him doin the 'feel like my last name could be x' freestyle reminded me he actually is dope when hes rappin instead of explaining his business model or whatever, & props for the mac dre shirt

lil white girl with the cali braids is kinda growing on me, so dorky & her breakin was cool

how have their been over 100 messages in this thread and yet when I search the phrase "king of the burbs", nothing comes up? that phrase goes hand in hand with "ghetto revival." anyway, if the vh1 producers know what they're doing, then they'll tell mc serch to keep john brown on, because if he goes, I stop watching.

It bears repeating, next week John Brown will be explaining "ghetto revival" to THE DUDE FROM BRAND NUBIAN. Must see TV, etc.
I can only hope they continue along these lines and the last episode ends with like Ras Kass or somebody just beating the shit out of him.

Stating The Obvious (tm)
Ughh. This show is entirely racialist. I suppose 10 caucazoid rappers with lyrics/style/flow & serious MC swagger just wouldn't make good reality TV. You can't have an emotional break down when you fuck up a line! What MC can't write a verse in a half hour? And not grasping the concept of self-effacing humor? "The Wack Rapper Show" is more like it. (Although Shamrock does have skills). And now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

I mean watching the fashion-challenged drunken fat girl yell at the walleyed retard that "you're the reason people disrespect hip-hop" = wtf?!

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:05 (eighteen years ago)

Prince Paul was the judge this episode so I think he'll be returning a bit.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:06 (eighteen years ago)

What about that is WTF? That sequence is great! Never happens on Top Chef (if only Cliff had laid a giant dildo on Marcel's lips he might be going to Hawaii haha.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:10 (eighteen years ago)

Lord Jamar is next week. C'mon Shakey, you know you want to see Walleyed Retard vs. Lord Jamar.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:17 (eighteen years ago)

to me, it made them both appear unlikable and stupid. In the 15-20 minutes I saw of the ep, $hamrock was the only one who came off as being even remotely self-aware of who he was, what kind of show he was on, and what he and the other contestants are trying to accomplish. Everyone else seems like a self-absorbed twat who's picture of themselves is completely divorced from reality.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:17 (eighteen years ago)

I dunno maybe I just don't like reality shows. Can't think of a single one that's ever grabbed me.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 20 January 2007 00:17 (eighteen years ago)

This is my new favourite show that's never going to be on British TV and I have to torrent the fuck out of.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 20 January 2007 22:27 (eighteen years ago)

i repeat this show is awesome. so funny. shakey... ugh i don't even know what to say.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 21 January 2007 00:16 (eighteen years ago)

$hamrock was the only one who came off as being even remotely self-aware of who he was

and this is a problem with a reality tv show?

― Confounded (Confounded), Sunday, 21 January 2007 01:07 (eighteen years ago)

Not enough love for the spirit of hip-hop entering G-Child's body and her suddenly being blessed with the ability to break.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Sunday, 21 January 2007 01:09 (eighteen years ago)

omg

― Confounded (Confounded), Sunday, 21 January 2007 01:29 (eighteen years ago)

bah, missed the first 10 minutes. someone fill me in.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 03:14 (eighteen years ago)

WITHOUT TELLING ME WHO WAS ELIMINATED

WHAT HAPPENED

― Confounded (Confounded), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 04:25 (eighteen years ago)

Not much drama or anything. Family Feud style game show, winners hung out with Juelz Santana, losers did the other team's laundry. The next day they went to the barber shop and spit for people. Persia and Jus Rhyme got the most props. G-Child stayed home sick. Losers of game show faced elimination. Someone went home. Fin.

The best parts were John Brown making a cardboard + Sharpie business card that he wrote "Ghetto Revival" on and gave to Juelz Santana and G-Child not having any idea how to do laundry because her parents always did it for her.

If Jamar was on I missed it, but there's a replay in 90 minutes.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

Ok, the Brand Nubian part was in the beginning. Sadat X was there, too.
Best part of that was when Jamar was asking John Brown WTF was "ghetto revival" about he just stammered "Hallelujah holla back" repeatedly like he was Rain Man or something.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 06:13 (eighteen years ago)

omg sadat x ?!

― am0n (am0n), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 06:34 (eighteen years ago)

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Jon Boy is seriously the most forgettable human being ever isn't he? Every time he appears on the screen I'm like "wait who's that guy again?"

This isn't exactly music-related, but are any of you watching I Love New York as well? I feel that it's equally hilarious, especially Mr. Boston. Maybe I should start an ILE thread on it, there doesn't seem to be one.

haha yeah I haven't even tried yet. That's a Flavor of Love spinoff, right?

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:49 (eighteen years ago)

its fucking horrible. there's a feature on "her" in the latest issue of the Advocate.

I caught the last half of the White Rapper episode last night but unfortunately missed Jamar/Sadat X :(. But I had to keep switching channels cuz listening to the rapping was just painful painful painful (Serch OTM about the mad/sad/glad thing "maybe you should watch out for people who have moved on to words with two syllables" = ROFLZ)

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think he pwned him quite that hard, I think he was talking about rhyming "double syllables" i.e. not just the last word in the line

shamrock's verse in the elimination was pretty good

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:14 (eighteen years ago)

I thought Persia was pretty good in the barbershop too.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:15 (eighteen years ago)

yeah Persia wasn't bad in the barbershop

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:20 (eighteen years ago)

what was lame was that the one team got tons more answers right, while the other team only got 2 right but they were "bonus" questions worth hundreds, so they won. I hate when that happens on reality shows.

Here's a tip from Sadat X...don't carry a gun around with you at all times.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:22 (eighteen years ago)

giving them "food" as a correct answer was pretty bogus too

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

I'd be a lot more upset about the game show if anyone other than G-Child had been sent home. She was really annoying.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:28 (eighteen years ago)

i'm just curious whether she's ever seen the Pop Goes the Weasel video, where Serch whales on her idol with a bat

maybe that was duscussed in an earlier episode lol

I've only seen the last two

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

Her idol is Henry Rollins?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 21:40 (eighteen years ago)

Besides being a comic relief midget who looks like Iris from Taxi Driver if she was born in '88, fuck 'er.

Nah man, that was exactly like Family Feud! Stealing the other team's points after they get three strikes is just how the game is played, it's not like they made up new rules to make it unfair.
Not to say that Family Feud isn't a stupid game in the first place.

Bumpity bump, new ep in an hour.

Who's gonna go this week? We're down to:

John Brown
Jon Boy
Jus Rhyme
100 Proof
Persia
$hamrock
Sullee

I'm gonna have to agree with Alex in SF and say that Jon Boy is so forgettable that he can't possibly have much time left, unless he's sitting on some mad skillz we haven't seen yet. They really haven't bothered putting much camera time into him, in any case. 100 Proof is kind of pointless, too.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 02:02 (eighteen years ago)

Everytime Jon Boy raps, it's like they slowed the film down.

― Bobby Peru (Bobby Peru), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 02:10 (eighteen years ago)

This just in: Jus Rhyme possibly dumber than John Brown

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 03:13 (eighteen years ago)

KOOL KEITH FUCK YEAH

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 03:34 (eighteen years ago)

AHH GIVE ME TELLYVISION

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 03:38 (eighteen years ago)

JUS RHYME JUST TURNED DOWN A LAP DANCE IN FRONT OF KEITH WTF

Also, Jon Boy is safe this week. Elimination will be down to 100 Proof, $hamrock or Sullee. Fuck 100 Proof.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 03:47 (eighteen years ago)

I think it would have been way cooler if they got to do what Serch tricked them into thinking they were gonna do - go to a recording studio and see who can cut the hottest Prince Paul produced posse track.

This was exactly what they did this week btw, except Just Blaze was the producer. They picked the winner by bumping the tracks in a strip club w/ Kool Keith as a guest judge. The guys from La Coka Nostra (Everlast, Ill Bill, etc.) came over for dinner afterwards.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 04:29 (eighteen years ago)

Can someone explain to me why Serch refers to 100 Proof's flow as old school? Because to me, it just sounds like he doesn't have any flow, he just kinda talks. What old school rapper would you compare him to? The only thing I can think of is Chuck D, specifically lines like:

Soul on roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope

Obviously Chuck D is way better, but that's the only example I can think of that's also a talking style.

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:34 (eighteen years ago)

So who got sent home?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:35 (eighteen years ago)

Or should I just assume it is obvious given the 3 candidates above?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

Also, Jon Boy and Jus Rhyme are getting totally lucky not to be in the eliminations. I know Jus Rhyme hasn't been in one yet, and I don't think Jon Boy has been either. The three guys who were in it last night were also in it the week before, and once again $hamrock comes up big and Sullee messes up his lines.

100 Proof got sent home because Serch said he was just always old school and couldn't diversify. While I agree that he was the worst, I'd also note that $hamrock always does his southern style and isn't very diverse, but I suppose it's ok because that's what's hot right now.

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

Jus Rhyme is really cringesome. He really needs to be less earnest.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

lotta old skool shit has got a talky style, look at sugarhill cats or kurtis blow. 100 proof didnt seem to understand how to match his bars up, so hes tryna fit like 15 syllables in the 1st line and 8 in the second - real sloppy, you cant just rhyme the last word!

sullee's rap started out real basic but i still think hes dope, that shit about catching a std on the self-deprecation challenge is maybe the best verse actually spit on the show so far

shamrocks food-themed ballin rhyme was classic

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:40 (eighteen years ago)

and yeah xpost but the minute jus rhyme gets in an elimination hes gone - dude wouldnt even rap about smoking in the fuckin club on a club banger hows he gonna do if the topic is stank hoes or whatever

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)

'yo! the topic is, like, stank hoes, so i flipped it, made it about, like, the stank legacy of white supremecy!' (bobblehead nod)

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:42 (eighteen years ago)

Haha is anyone the show clever enough to rap about gardening implements instead?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

Jus was refusing to rap about smoking because of the kids back home that he works with! So he made his verse about smoke and mirrors, and how his flow is dangerous, so that it was more about the government, since he's a political rapper (which he mentioned pretty much every single time he spoke).

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

Agree that $hamrock's rap about rolling around in peanut butter sandwiches was hilarious! Is this some new southern slang that I'm not aware of, or was he making it up on the spot?

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

to be honest i hope jus stays on the show a long time

man im glad serch had the balls to send 100 proof off the show cuz every time he was up for elimination prince paul's dumb paul barman-cosigning ass was feelin his shitty style and i really didnt wanna see sullee kicked off for that

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

In an interesting side note, Paul Barman trained me at my college radio station, back before the It's Very Stimulating EP. Less than a year after that, I saw the EP reviewed in Rolling Stone and was like, "what, is this the same dude?? It is!!" Very bizarre.

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

uh yeah thnx for that

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

$hamrock seems to be consistently the best performer to me - glad I got to see all these episodes in their entirety in a row on Sunday, gave me a little more appreciation of how the show is put together. Still a lot of painful rapping obviously, and G-Child's breakdancing made my eyes bleed... eager to see the Kool Keith one.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

I hope Jus Rhyme is next to go... dude is so very lame. Apart from everything else, he's the weakest rapper of the remaining people.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:02 (eighteen years ago)

Is he really worse than Jon Boy? At least Jus Rhyme is memorable?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I've even seen Jon Boy rap yet and I've watched like three episodes

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

I know I've seen him rap (at the very least during the team challenge) but honestly I can't recall a single line he had.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

I prefer Jon Boy's bland, invisible rhymes to Jus Rhyme's puritanical nonsense.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

Is John Brown growing on anyone else? Besides Persia and myself?

― EdB (edb), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

this is very mean, but Jus Rhyme's face kind of freaks me out. he has the crazy eyes. he's just a very awkward dude.

I love Persia and will stop watching if she ever gets eliminated.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:56 (eighteen years ago)

this is very mean, but Jus Rhyme's face kind of freaks me out. he has the crazy eyes. he's just a very awkward dude.

He is kind of awkward, but in an endearing way. I find him really cute.

I love Persia and will stop watching if she ever gets eliminated.

I agree with this.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

Is John Brown growing on anyone else? Besides Persia and myself?

I have no problem with him at all. I'll probably root for him if Persia gets eliminated.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:47 (eighteen years ago)

None of them are Mensa material, really. I like JB's rhymes the best of the remaining dudes, or maybe second to Shamrock.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:50 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, but when he uttered his nonsensical trademark, hallelujah hollaback, he had a slight grin on his face as if he knows he's a doofus. I kinda warmed up to him a little bit after that.

Best moment: Kool Keith's casual aside to the dancers, "I like your outfits" or something to that effect.

― EdB (edb), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

Getting a chance to see Kool Keith on television made me very happy.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

Ego Trip likes him - he had a great bit in Race-o-Rama where he had to guess the ethnicity of strippers while blindfolded

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

I'm kinda surprised there's been zero battle rapping up to this point

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 21:37 (eighteen years ago)

I think part of that may be not wanting to make groupwork impossible at this early stage of the show because of hurt feelings. Once it is narrowed down farther I think they'll likely be some battling.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 22:25 (eighteen years ago)

I wouldn't be surprised if the season finale challenge is the remaining two contestants having to battle some actual rapper in a club

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 22:31 (eighteen years ago)

im really glad theyve been focusing on building as crews instead of allowing every rapper to live out their narcissistic solo 8 mile battle fantasies - the actual cohesive rap group is a lost art form and its good to see them forcing these dudes to trade rhymes with other mcs instead of more individualist self expression bullshit

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

hmm good pt about the lost group dynamic - I totally miss that too. Of course when you're in a competition with only one winner...

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 23:51 (eighteen years ago)

At least 100 Proof's future is assured with the "millions of people who love" what he he does.

Lettuce/tomatoes/baked potatoes is the rhyming high point of the show so far, and lol at Persia "supporting the arts"

Everlast looks like he should be chief sports reporter on a local newspaper these days. Can't wait till Mark Ecko's apperance to fag everything up next week.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 1 February 2007 02:24 (eighteen years ago)

And also "I want to know how to accompany my political rap beliefs into my club bangers. Who's a rapper known for both incisive political debate and straight heat for the bars that I could discuss this with? I know, Ill Bill"

Hey, for those of you who were asking about the other Ego Trip shows, VH1 is replaying TV's Illest Minority Moments right now.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

I was trawling various WRS-related MySpaces today [I'm sick and its been that kind of day, all right?] and found some stuff about John Brown that suggests he's got more upstairs than some take him for:

Jus Rhyme in an interview:
CP: So is that John Brown guy for real?

JR: Yeah, I think so. One thing that didn't make the cut was me and John Brown would stay up late at night and have these long discussions about what it meant to be white in hip hop...

---
JB's answers to an email questionnaire from Ego Trip:

Why should America watch ego trip's The (White) Rapper Show?

Americans should watch the show to not only learn about hip-hop history, but to recognize the depth in which hip-hop has sincerely permeated every race, class and gender of American society. The show explores the psychological, emotional and creative dimensions of white rappers who genuinely love the culture and seek to find a place in its history. It also illustrates the dualism of cultural development. That is, hip-hop helped the contestants define themselves, and simultaneously, the contestants now help to define hip-hop.

If you're a die-hard hip-hop head, tune-in to critique, analyze and hate. If you're a soccer mom or middle class workaholic father, watch the show to understand why your kids stay smoking blunts, longing for a rap career. If you're a reality show junkie, watch the show to laugh at us and feel better about yourself. If you're revival minded, be a witness and hallelujah holla back!

What was your experience like being on the show?

I had a very revival minded experience on the show. It was filled with intense pressure, stress and hatred -- nothing new to a boss.

I was unbelievably grateful for the opportunities to meet and work with hip-hop legends. Most of the guest stars were insightful and genuinely amazing people. Others, at times, felt a need to patronize or disrespect contestants as a way to appease their constituency. I mean it's a (white) rapper show, so naturally some tried to step-up their gangsta for public relations damage control. I ain't mad at 'cha.

Reality shows are heavy on the "show", light on the reality. The hours spent in overheated vans waiting for scene cues and food will not be missed.

Do you think the hip-hop community will embrace the show?

The "hip-hop community" is such a broad range of people that the reactions will be as varied as those who identify with the culture. Obviously, the knee-jerk reaction from most people is HATE HATE HATE -- which is good. ego trip is rooted in the tradition of the provocateur, and to incite discussion is the essence of relevant artistry.

If the editing is left solely to VH1 producers, I think the sensationalism and drama would repel those who truly love hip-hop culture and its power in society. However, ego trip consists of weathered hip-hop historians with a reputation for brilliant social psychological probing. This is not going to be a rap-off. I'm confident that the exploration of deep racial and class issues will make this a profound and hilarious analysis of American culture -- converting the haters at home into witnesses.

I'm guessing that the majority of white rappers will be shaking with hatred at "how much they would have lyrically murdered these jokers!", while subconsciously wishing they had been given the same opportunity for national exposure.

Other "hip-hop conservatives," driven by a nostalgic longing for a return to "the golden era of '90's hip-hop," will probably scoff at this "corporate co-opting" of a sacred artform.

I think that open-minded members of the hip-hop community and those with a modern "bossed-up" mentality will recognize that this show not only sheds light on the complexities of American culture, but is also an unprecedented opportunity for some of us to infiltrate the national media. Hustle smarter, lil' homie.

Did you have a (white) Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa?

every time I've tried to watch this, it's been a lot more boring-reality-show-boilerplate than you guys are making it sound. some funny bits and some that are funnier in concept than execution. and is it just me or did the whole game show thing feel like a rip off of "I Know Black People" from Chappelle's Show?

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Monday, 5 February 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

john brown is still a doofus but the clip of him doin the 'feel like my last name could be x' freestyle reminded me he actually is dope when hes rappin instead of explaining his business model or whatever, & props for the mac dre shirt

funny, that struck me as straight-up bulworth.

this show is amazing. i'm convinced that every single contestant is a meth addict.

You know, I think one thing about him on the show is he has a sort of dry sense of humor that kind of comes off weird. Like after the whole Persia/dildo thing went down and she's screaming "You don't know shit about about hip-hop!" and shit and he's just standing there like "Hey, life ain't easy for the king of the burbs."

Those were probably the two least amusing challenges actually, but I thought that the actual show drama (Sullee melting down, Jon Boy being a doofus and only John Brown comprehending that he had to just say SOMETHING) was really interesting.

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

I liked Jon Boy's statement, after the shopping excursion, when he said something to the effect that 'Well, we're ALL gonna be celebrities, so we better get used to the cameras and attention.'

― edb (edb), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

Oh and I was totally waiting for Sullee to pull the bait and switch after he told his team he would never dis them. But I guess growing up in Hingham has made him Softee!

― edb (edb), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:14 (eighteen years ago)

according to some dude's blog, miss ckc from the auditions is actually a comedian who was hamming it up.

― Stingy (stingy), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

Yes that's what it sez in the comments on the youtube thing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:30 (eighteen years ago)

then Jon Boy thanks God. Yeah, you can through that episode, from the signatures to the "we rap. you direct" thing that all of this had suddenly, totally, gone to his head. Before this I thought he was a quiet, humble, nice guy who was a suprisingly decent rapper, but he acted the fool through that entire episode.

Serch's comments at the end were OTM...the hip-hop trap, how they thought they could get away with making the most cliche-ridden video in history is just laughable. And it was good that he pointed out the simple fact that it was an excersise...not a trick question that you're supposed to flip. He asked them to for dis raps and they didn't deliver because they're such nice guys.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I read that somewhere after the first ep. It sorta threw the whole "This might be shadily edited" thing into sharp relief, but it's an entertaining show, so wtf.

xpost

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

"He asked them to for dis raps and they didn't deliver because they're such nice guys."

Except that Sullee doesn't refuse to do it because he's a nice guy or even because he doesn't believe in "snitching", he refuses because he's decided (subconsciously at the very least) that he doesn't want to be there (mostly because I think he suspects that he's not doing a very good job of presenting himself on national TV and that's a real blow to his ego.) And he convinces Jon Boy that this is a whole big ethics thing and Jon Boy follows along like a dutiful puppy that he is.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

I know we already had a thread about the Sage Francis thing but I can't find it.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

Sullee plain gave up...he was frustrated about always being in elimination...but he also knew that he'd fucked up every elimination and would this one as well, that's why he asked to read from his paper.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:22 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, it's always easy to take the high road when you know you're out the door either way.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:25 (eighteen years ago)

Haha you get the idea from Serch's comments on the VSPOT extras that Sullee might have thought that he was going to be rewarded for having for showing "principles" or something haha waiting all expectantly for Serch to say "alright kid ya did good, you can stay" or something.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:49 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure Jon Boy thought the same. That's why I loved that Serch wasn't impressed. He was like yo, I asked you to dis each other, John Brown did it and he wasn't even mean enough, but at least he did it.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

I am actually kind of liking John Brown, he's a lot cleverer than he gives the impression of being early in the show and he's actually got a good ear for a hook.

― am0n (am0n), Thursday, 8 February 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

Actually I take that back.

1. Sham
2. John Brown
3. Sullee
4. Persia

Sham's been consistently entertaining, JB has some variety and has actually consistently provided wordplay, and Sullee had the passion. Persia has the passion but she's gotten kind of grating what with every verse we've heard being about how down she is.

I'm really glad Jus Rhyme is gone. His "hug black and brown folks every day, black panther pride poor folks around the world unite" thing came off as so smugly privileged and unintentionally racist.

I don't really think any of them have any ability at rapping (and the three of them were all DESTROYED at the Shelter. Persia was my favorite and would probably be good on record; I just wish she could've kept her memory together. Of the ones left I'm vying for Shamrock because at least he seems honest and he can sort of flow.

Here's what happened at Southpaw:

--They aired the episode. Everyone cheered for $ham and booed John Brown. Everyone flipped when Clinton Sparks did the flyaway dance. It really felt like justice was served!
--All the guest rappers took forever to get their shit set up (surprise!) so the ego trip guys had to stall crazily. Sacha Jenkins was looking mad dapper in sports coat and Black Flag T-shirt.
--Serch did some freestyles. His freestyle about how the manager was getting mad that everyone was standing near the fire exit was tres manifique. Highlight of the evening for sure.
--G-Child came out and did her thing. Cheers and boos. Did a rap about a broken heart which i thought was a metaphor for drug addiction, then realized she's nowhere near that clever.
--More stalling. They opened the mic up to the audience for freestyling... all of which ranged from pukeworthy to abortions.
--Persia came out and did her thing to mad cheers. She kept saying "You know this one..." but no one did! She had a red dress, green ribbon belt and a bow: she looked like a Christmas present! She told John Brown the next dildo is going inside him. Ew!
--John Brown and the whole fucking Ghetto Revival showed up and crowded the PA with too many voices. They played forever and cleared the room. Dude rolls very, very, very deep.
--J-Zone didn't get to spin records like promised. He ate birthday cake.

RE: 4 WRONG THINGS WITH THIS SHOW

Paul has had a hatred of John Brown that equates the relationship between Isreal and Palestine. Paul being the Isreali side and he doesn't appreciate the John Brown's ghetto revival because the term ghetto was coined during WWII in Nazi Germany. John Brown however was merely a crusader to revive the ghettos of America. Being African American you would think Paul would appreciate his generosity to bring back his people's neighborhoods. John Brown is like Palestine because he has been blowing up the West Bank (west side) since he was annointed the king of the suburbs. Paul however refuses to recognize the validity of John Brown's title. Which is very similar to the way that Palestine won't recognize the state of Isreal. It is a very ironic and complex situation. It's a "MC Holy War"(don't steal that phrase i just coined it)

― hstencil, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

on the one hand why would they care, it was probably shot before any episodes aired, so it was just these two unknowns coming out on stage

but yeah it shoulda been a rowdier crowd, it looked like some people they grabbed outta times square in the middle of the afternoon

― dmr, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

yeah at least like invite people who care about hip-hop to the finale, y'know? even the random rucker crowd was more into it.

There's a new season spin-off of last winter's hit MC competition Ego Trip's The (White) Rapper Show brewing and this time, it's all about the ladies. The as-yet-untitled sister series will search for a great, white and female hip-hop hope. There are no details yet on when the show is set to hit the air -- in fact, it hasn't even filmed yet. Producers will be holding open auditions starting Saturday, Aug. 25 in Chicago at Dave and Busters (address: 1030 North Clark) from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Interested ladies should bring a photo, a bio and a CD with three tracks. If you don't hail from Chi-town, don't worry: future auditions are planned for Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles. For more info, email rap✧✧✧@vh1st✧✧✧.c✧✧.
We couldn't be more excited to cover a show that has the potential to be Flavor of Love in iambic pentameter. Maybe the all-girl slant on this is retribution for the fact that Persia was completely and utterly robbed last season.
UPDATE: The competition is for female rappers of all races, not just white women, as previously reported. See how that works? First season was white, second is girls...maybe the third will be animals? MC Skat Kat, get ready for career resuscitation!

Maybe she'll come back for a cameo and shit on the floor.

Awesome! The girls were better this season, esp. Persia (ok...act. I don't remember any other girl, but Persia kicked ass!).

― Tape Store, Thursday, 13 September 2007 05:15 (seventeen years ago)

G-Child the hilarious little muppet and Misfit the hot clueless Britishes girl who just got a nakey lady fairy thing tattooed on her arm in that pic with Shamrock I just posted.

― marmotwolof, Thursday, 13 September 2007 05:18 (seventeen years ago)

Damn! I totally forgot about G-Child! After John Brown, she was probably the most entertaining!

Some Persia proof: Old Time Music

And I forgot about Miss CKC.

Fall back, ma.
