egotrip's The White Rapper Show

How many of you watch this? It's actually a pretty good show.

I love egotrip's humor!

Some of these rappers can actually..rap! They do some creative challenges like greeting the neighbors, old school b-boy rapping, Affirmative Reaction, and the Club banger where they tested the team's song vibe and energy by how enthusiastic the exotic dancer(s) danced to it.

I am pulling for Persia and Jus Rhyme (I like his message), but I think John Brown will end up winnning.

Never really gotten into the show. . . There's just something about it that I don't like about it . . like it's some sort of parody show. Whenever it's on my face is like

. . .pass

I can't really get into either.I've seen a few clips but that's about it.I'm still trying to figure out what the heck "King of the Burbs" is though...

I watch it faithfully.

I like Jus Rhyme's message. But is that the only thing he can rap about? It's just overkill all the time.

I'm pullin for Persia.

Don't sleep on John Brown. I like his style. But the king of the burbs thing is dead it seems after Sadat X lit into him about it.

100 Proof is good too. He needs to step his game up.

Sully could get it!

I like it too..... it teaches lessons about stereotypes and causes the viewer to ask "What IS 'black' anyway?"

I like it because ego trip don't give a dang about gimicks, he wants to know you can hold your own as a lyricist.

that's why I enjoyed "Affirmative Reaction" so much..I feel that was the message they were trying to get across..though I can see how those who don't study race or find the humor in it can find offense to it.

Egotrip does a lot of programs on race in hip hop. It isn't so much a parody as it is a social commentary under the guise of hip hop.

I watch the re-runs, hence my signature.
