is Serch looking like John Tuturro these days or whathttp://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=5781
VH1 has orderd eight one-hour episodes of the new comedic reality series Egotrip Presents the White Rapper Show.Hosted by Michael "MC Serch" Berrin, a former member of the pioneering white rap group 3rd Bass, the imaginative program features 12 white contestants who will compete in a series of challenges to test their rap skills and ability to mesh with black culture."In 2007, the mighty Egotrip collective and 12 hungry white rappers will put a black-eye on the face of reality television," Egotrip/XXL's Elliott Wilson told AllHipHop.com. 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.

    I wonder how much time will be spent on message boarding and keystyles, the forgotten 5th and 6th elements of hip-hop.

    the concept seems a little lame. i would expect more from the ego trip camp. but if anybody can make something entertaining out of it, it'd be them.

    agreed, it may have been funnier pre-eminem. The jokes not as effective nowadays. Doesn't mean I won't be whoring myself out to be a producer on this if it goes to second season though

    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

    Do the show's rules allow karaoke as an acceptable rap medium?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
