Making of the Band II- MTV & Puffy

[Gina1201]

Okay who else watched this?

I was highly surprised to see that both Chopper and Frederick made the group. I kind of had a feeling that Dylan would make the group since Puff was talking about writing a letter to the judge.

HOWEVER, can I just say that Mysterious showed her AZZ? When Puff said that you could show emotion if you lost I did NOT think that she would take it to that level. I mean screaming in the restaurant, breaking glasses, pulling up flowers, WTF?? I know that she had been through a lot lately but she completely acted like a DAMN FOOL. I have to agree with Alison that part of the reason behind her not getting in the group is the fact that she kept talking about being a solo act.

Hi Y'all


Well, I am satisfied with his choices, and I am glad the season is over. I think Mysterious was a slob, and even if she DID make the group, they would have had to do some serious image "therapy" for her. Her showing her butt in the end only made it worse. What makes her think that anybody owes her anything? Who in that house has had an easy life? Except maybe Jamie and he cried at the word "Boo".

Babs looks like a 2 dollar who**. Image Makeover please. Her skills are definitely better than Oscar Madison "Mysterious" and Foxy Brown II "Mina".

I don't think Chopper can hold a candle to Fredderick or E-Ness. His attitude will be his demise. He needs to watch his back....
I like Sarah's voice...

and I like Dylan's flavor. And his dimples

I agree with you. Mysterious DID make a fool of herself..but to pick Chopper? Chopper?? He was way too arrogant to make the band. IMO, Mysterious had been through so much these past few weeks - too much in her whole life that Puff could've given her a chance...just one shot. To pick Chopper over her just baffled me.

Fredderick DEFINITELY deserved to be in the band. He has superb lyrical ability and his personality was on point. I liked Dylan (sp) and his accent - he will definitely add spice to the group.

As far as Puffy......to me he just is always trying to show how powerful he is and how much money he makes...he's kind of arrogant. I don't know, this whole show just brought out a new image of Puffy that is on the negative side. I believe another reason why Chopper was chosen is because he is a mirror image of the master of arrogance himself..P-Diddy.

I always knew that Puff was arrogant. I think this show just lived up to what I always thought he was like. I think that there will definitely be some friction going on between him and Chopper? Did you see the convo in the studio when Puff was like "We can't both sit in the driver's seat?" I think that this might be one of the ways in which Chopper will get put out of the group.

I knew that Lloyd, Dylan and Babs were definitely going to make it into the group. Lloyd was the best male rapper, to me. He just showed his level of talent during the freestyle battler. Dylan just has a sound that's totally new and different. Babs was the best female lyricist. When they had the freestyle battle, she ripped Mina apart. Mina really doesn't have anything new to offer the music industry. She's rapping about the same stuff that Foxy and Kim have been saying for years. And, as I've said before, I don't think that Mysterious is talented at all. Babs was the clear choice.

With Sara and Jonessa, it was basically a toss up. Either of the two will due for the group. Sara has the stronger voice of the two though.

Now, Chopper AND Freddrick shocked the hell out of me. I thought that Freddrick was the better choice. Chopper is just too arrogant and I can see that there is going to be a lot of drama surrounding him in the future.

Finally, Miss Mysterious. Goodness Gracious. She acted a fool in that restuarant. She broke that glass, and tore up the taxpayers' flowers, and even called Puffy a binch. That was just poor form. Show your emotions, but don't burn your bridges. How did she know that Puffy wasn't going to refer her to some of his industry buddies? He could have said to another label "I don't have the time to develop her, but she has talent, see what you can do." She has really taken for granted what an amazing opportunity this was. The part that really got me was when she said "Why can't I ever get a blessing." Sweetie, the fact that you are here, on this earth, alive, healthy, and breathing is a blessing in and of itself. If you've been surrounded by death your whole life, then you should know how important each day is. She really needs to put some things in perspective. Putting out a CD is not all that life has to offer. I know that she's had it rough but if God brought you to it, then He'll bring you through it.

I have to agree with what you have said. Mina did seem like Lil' Foxy. I'm glad that Puff picked Dylan since he is basically giving him a chance to prove that he can make it. Plus I think he's kind of cute. Sara seemed to have a stronger voice to me than Jonessa, although she (Jonessa) has been on a few mixtapes. I personally would have picked Fred since he seems more mature than Chopper and since Puff and Chopper already look like they're going to have problems.

As far as lady M, I agree thatshe probably won't get a record deal based on what she did last night. I'm sure that other record labels have been watching the how and she just ruined it for herself.

I can't believe that I missed the season finale! It sounds like it was a TRIP!! Too bad it doesn't replay until Thursday. That's cool. I can wait until then.

I don't like Chopper (even though he is from New Orleans! ). He is lame and always shouting out something stupid like, "WE did it, New Orleans!" YOU are not the first person to make it out of the N.O.! You haven't even made it! Go figure. It was funny when Allah went upside his head! I think that Chopper acts that way to portray that N.O. is full of thugged out nigs. Sorry. That image doesn't fly with me. He need personality therapy. Fredrick is cool. That's all about him.

Mysterious..... What can I say? SHE CAN NOT RAP!! All she does is growl like a damn grizzly bear. Too bad she looks like one too. That tired azz ponytail has had it! She always looked like hell turned over. That look...not cool. As for Mina, Babs ate her up. Game over.

I'll be back once I see that finale!

[Queencece]

The series as a whole was a trip. Puff had me cracking up when he was cuttin people up left and right.

Anyways, Chopper is a funny character to me because like Fred said, His mind is too young for the industry. I personally dont think that its for him right now. I think he can rap a lil somethin, but I think Fred is the better choice. I also forsee many problems with him and Puff, which in turn will send him home to the Magnolia Projects.

Dylan, I think is a cutie too. I love his style/flavor. I think he was an awesome addition to the group. And that accent, *wiping brow* "whew" did it for me.

I like Sara's voice too. She cool.

Mina (where do I start). She cant rap to save her life. I dont know how she made it into the house. When she was battling Babs, she needed to be taking notes instead of battling and Puff knew that. I think that he set her up on purpose, but I think it was to prove a point too. Like to let her know that he skills wasnt all that and that they needed work. I didnt like her that much. Can you tell?

Lloyd is very talented. Good choice there, Puff!

As for Mysterious, I dont know what made her think that she was gonna be in the group after Puff sat there and asked her, whether or not she wanted to be a solo artist. He already knew the answer before he even talked to her because she was running her mouth entirely too much. Im sorry, but thats what happens when you dont know how to let things just play out and keep ya mouth shut.

As for her little tantrum at the restaurant, that was a little uncalled for. She could have controlled herself a little better than that. Kiss your career goodbye, its a wrap because your attitude is what they are looking at. She should have learned that from Belinda.

Jamirah was tight with hers too. I think it would have been tight to see her and Babs battle. Anyways, I dont know how she didnt know she was pregnant, but I guess like she said she was always chubby in the waist. She would have been tight for the group too. Oh Well.

Overall, I think everyone that is in the group deserves to be there, except Chopper who was hanging on by the bruise that Allah gave him. He was very lucky.

Sorry, so long.
Peace and one!
Q

[FeeFee]

Lloyd - Brotha Man gots skillz, period.

Babs - Tore Mina's a$$ straight out da frame. Mina is a wannabe Lil Kim/Foxy Brown. Good move on Bad Boy to bring Babs into the house. Truth be told, she should have been in the house from the start, not Mina's non-talented a$$.

Dylan - Very talented brotha. Will make a nice addition to the group. Plus he has a very cute smile to match.

Sarah - Very good strong voice. Nice addition to the group.

Fredderick - I like his voice and animated rhyming skills.

Chopper - I think Puffy sees himself in Chopper (perhaps back in the day).

Mysterious - She acted like a damn fool. I was very dissapointed in her. What if Puffy decided later on that he would like to work with her as a solo artist? She definitely messed her chances of getting a deal with anyone. Puffy told them that they could "spaz the f**k out" if they weren't chosen, but she took it to a whole different level. Why get mad anyway? She really did not want to be in a group anyway and her big mouth got caught out there. I hope she had some money on her that night 'cause I would have made her pay for all that chit she broke up.

*Sigh*.... I missed it too. Do you know what time it comes on tonight?

[toocute]

OK...I saw the marathon on New Years. Have they released an album yet? Is it really in the works?

[Gina1201]

I think that there is going to be a second season that follows the six of them though their process of making a record. I think that is what happened with the last "Making the Band".

[Ldy-n-Red]

Everyone seems pretty humble and easy to work with....except for Chopper. When they were picking the finalist the one exec (Tracey) told P. Diddy that Chopper would cause problems, I think she is completely correct.

Also, there is another rapper out who calls himself Choppa, I wonder if the new Chopper will change his name.

I was wondering that too. Does anybody know what the name of the group is? I know they didn't say it on the show but I figured it might have leaked onto the internet by now....

I liked the choices too, but I probably would have put in Walter instead of Chopper. Five MCs and one vocalist? It seems like there should be more than one, and I really liked Walter's voice. But then again, I'm not Diddy - as he so readily reminded me EVERY EPISODE.

There are two rappers by that name already. One, as you mentioned, is Choppa. I think he is one of the 504 Boys. And, there is a Chopper rapping already too.

He'll probably change his name but still call himself Chopper, like Biggie did. I pray that he does not call himself the Notorious C.H.O.P. I don't think I could handle it.
