HALLELUJAH HOLLA BACK!!!

I saw the premiere episode of "The (White) Rapper Show" last Monday but for whatever reason didn't get the inspiration to blog about it until now. Of course there was a lot going on in my mind while watching the show, from Dasit telling MC Serch not to cuss at him cause he wasn't his father (of course we know how Serch feels about white rappers), to a little white girl who admitted to being inspired by Vanilla Ice (God bless her soul), to a dildo being shoved in the face of one of the contestants, to one of the other girls finally understanding (after having to wear a giant medallion with "n-word" inscribed) that dropping the "n" bomb is offensive.

It was all a lot to process.

But I do wonder about one of the most enigmatic characters on the show. The self proclaimed "King of the Burbs," Mr. John Brown. Dude isn't even a rapper, he's an enitity. And, he said he's bringing forth the ghetto revival. Though, we really didn't get a good idea about how his manifesto for the ghetto revival would take shape, but I'm sure he's got something. I mean, he's the king of the burbs and all. But I would like to know if this revival will take the form of an insurrection, just as the abolitionist of the same name had attempted to spark against slavery.

As for the show itself, I've heard a lot internet nerd boy backpackers on message boards proclaim the death to hip-hop culture as a result of the show. I guess they don't see the irony and satire that the show is presenting in regards to race.

Atleast there's Jus Rhymes, the kid getting his Ph.D in ethnic studies at USC. Hopefully he'll teach the kids (especially on the show cause as we can see, they need a lot of assistance) a thing or two about race and hip-hop. Check his submission for the show.
