As far as revealing any episode details, our lips are sealed like the Go-Go's. But rest assured we're working around the clock with Ken Mok. He's taking a break from his top models to be our genie in the bottle. This show will blow cause I said so. Get your DVR's ready!"The participants will also live together in the South Bronx while facing a variety of creative and cultural trials with the winner taking home a cash prize.The show will be co-executive produced by Egotrip, the multimedia production company behind TV's Illest Minority Moments and the three-part spec Race-O-Rama.White Rapper is the latest reality show by VH1 with a Hip-Hop theme. Earlier this year, VH1 announced the addition of a new reality series featuring Ice T entitled Rap School.In Rap School, the rapper-turned-actor will coach and train a class of seventh and eight graders from New York City's exclusive York Prep on the basics of becoming an MC.VH1 also has a docudrama pilot in the works with Houston rapper Paul Wall.

How hilarious and predictable.
GO BIG, HOMMIE!
is it time to dust off the mic?
I don't know if the world is ready for my thimble raps
that dude gets appalled and outraged about everything, I have talked to him for a few prolonged periods of time in person and he seems real chill, but i think he has a chronic freak out problem when he's all alone, or on the internet
Hey, I resemble that comment.
I don't know, is y'all's broshot J*st*n gonna be on it?
exactly what i was thinking
Do the show's rules allow karaoke as an acceptable rap medium?
??????????????
SUMMA. OF. YOUNG. PHONICS.
AKA
YOUNG PHON CITY!
So you're saying that you think the concept of "white rapper" is a fresh one in 2006?
We would all welcome the Latino perspective on the freshness of white rappers in '06.
Actually I'm glad someone is at least trying to tackle an issue like this. And yes it still is something to grasp with people of color (or as I like to say "what's up with the Elvis-ing of hip-hop?").
dudes all mad on some "HOW DARE THEY QUESTION!" schitt.
DIOS MIO!
Hey, I just wanna see Serch serve this batch of wetmouths. Plus, as noted above, if anybody can make this funny and must-see TV, it's the ego tripsters.
Whitey Whiterson signing off.
It's about time! The media has been silent for too long!
Seriously moisty, I do agree that there's a lot to be said about the topic, and, like i said, based on their track record, the ego trippers could do it justice. But usually these sorts of things seem to boil down to "isn't it funny when white people say 'yo!'?" more than any sort of critical analysis. Especially within a relatively uncontrollable environment like reality tv.
Yeah and couple of random books and box office duds isn't shit.
So what you're complaining about the negative portrail of "white people" now!!??!??!?! Welcome to our side homie.
Please "homie". I am complaining about played out jokes. Stop trying to make this something it's not.
I can almost guarantee this show is going to be composed of ringers and professional actors.
Reality TV is nowhere close to real
