(White) rap

Ego Trip's newest collabo with VH1 hit the airwaves.
The (White) Rapper Show!

This show looks promising. I doubt anyone other than Ego Trip coulda done this right.
With hip hop culture so pervasive and every fuckin White kid in America wanting to be the next 50Cent, time is right for this reality show contest.

Most of the contestants are mediocre MC's at best.
A couple of them got lame ass silly gimics (such as looking like a sloppy business man or rockin' a pseudo mohawk). One is a midget girl. A Brit has fake boobs and looks to be hookin it up with some other contestant and should probably just rhyme over grime beats.
John Brown is probably my favorite (although I did like the cat who called MC Persia out for shouting "nigga" this and "nigga" that). Brown looks like a real b-boy even if he talks like a White Five Percenter... pure nonsense about some "ghetto revival."
By far the MC of the bunch with the most shine seems to be Persia although I don't know about her fuckin wardrobe choices (forcing her to wear the "N WORD" chain was an improvement).

What makes this show so intriguing to me is that it is real hip hop.
No matter how cheezy the contestants are, it is hosted by fuckin MC Serch and will apparently feature Sadat X, Lord Jamar, Grandmaster Flash, and Prince Paul!!

Anyone know if Prince Paul does the score?

Also- If you don't know about Ego Trip, put down your Vice Mag and look it up!
