Did anyone catch this season?

I totally thought this show was a joke the first time i saw it. they were all horrible. The games they played were eyebrow raisers. But it's so entertaining to watch none-the-less. "You got Mayo!"

Yeah I watched it briefly a couple times, I was sorta hoping they'd actually have some half decent up n' coming rappers.. but they were just a bunch of wannabe gangster foolios. They went to detroit and the guy was like hey whatsup spit a lil freestyle.. the guy was like ohh I dno I don't really freestyle.. ?!?!? They wrote down all the lines they were gunna use in the battle too.

hurting.

The "rappers" they had on the show were so bad, I almost wanted to cry listening to them.

yeah. the talent wasn't so great. whack ass fools! ;) who calls themself a rapper but can't freestyle. you can tell now that the word is out that there's a show like this. next season will be a little better i think. America's next top model got better contestants after the first season established itself.

I was reading what this one rapper had to say about the casting of the show.. he was pretty dope, but they were trying to get him to humiliate himself and basically were looking for obliviously bad and laughable rappers. I can see where it would affect entertainment, but it's put the whole hip-hop and prejudice thing back 10 years on top of not giving talent a chance to shine.

I'm really glad $hamrock won. I think he was the only one that should have. But it IS weak that they had to script everything. The john brown guy was a joke. And so was the politically conscious rapper guy.
