The White Rapper Show and Amputees

Just saw on yahoo news Heather Mills - the famed amputee now divorcing a Beatle - will be on 'Dancing With The Stars'. Two days ago on Yahoo News there was a newsarticle about a war photographers new art show depicting many, many amputees from our current war, it was actually referred to as THE injury of the war. I am guessing that it was no accident that got Ms Mills this dancing gig....


On a more entertaining note, I have to admit I have been watching 'The White Rapper Show'.

I am not sure how or when I got involved in the dramatic "keeping it real" challenges of a warehouse full of wannabe rap stars. At first I dismissed the show as mere bad television, but it has really grown on me.
Rap is at least a little more real to me than what those "kids" on American Idol are doing this season.
[For comparison, I finally saw Tuesday night's episode of 'Amerian Idol' - It was the All Guy episode, and it was a train wreck. Not one of those kids looked like they actually breath oxygon, by the end I was convinced they were all white toothed robots coming to take over the world.]

The White Rapper show is hosted by MC Search who was in the white rap band Third Base with Everlast back "in tha day!"
I tuned in the episode before the little blond girl, G-child got the boot, I saw a mohawked 100 Proof take his "had, bad, glad" ass outta there too.
The show has really been a blast. It isn't super phony, and some of these kids' raps are so bad, it is funny to see the host and his special guests try to keep there composure. The Detroit episode really summed it up when all 3 of the final contestants got their asses handed to them by 3 Regular Joe rappers in the Motor City!
I can only hope had the giant Persia still have been in the game, she might have actually had a good time there. The other 3 got burned, and worse yet, only the silver toothed white trash, Shamrock, the only one of the three finalists that I believe actually knows any black people, knew he'd been burned.
Now it's down to two, Jus -- the freaked out religious kook, who lost his college fellowship to compete in a game he had no business being on, is finally gone. "Pra-eese tha lo-ord!" he raps as he "Steps off".
Left are Shamrock a poor kid from Atlanta or the "mailbu-esque" John Brown who keeps calling for a "ghetto revivial" but manages to keep all his teeth.
This show is worth watching for the uncomfortable moments, the awkwardness, and the colorful jargon - You got Mayo - the Ice - Ice Chamber - the human sized roach - phrases like "Your speech is fradulaent" getting thrown around -- Who could ask for more!?!
