Leeds Hip Hop Scene

An amusing article from Tom (Ruffhousing) on 3BarFire this week investigating what it’s be like if there were more Hip Hop related TV Programmes…

My stand out favourite suggestions have to be:

Who Wants To Be Chamillionaire?
In which Chris Tarrant assists the reptilian-faced MC with his hectic live schedule by finding him a weekly stand-in to cover his less important tour dates and interviews. Contestants must answer fifteen questions (from categories such as Chamillionaire’s Favourite Foods, Chamillionaire’s Favourite Beverages, Chamillionaire’s Favourite Songs and Chamillionaire’s Favourite Just William Books) and each week, the winner has the honour of understudying the Texas rapper in his day-to-day activities. These might include performing live, signing autographs, buying/selling cocaine or sleeping with his wife. Last week’s winner was 52 year old retired chiropodist, Janet Baker from Hull. The charity special, Celebrity Who Wants To Be Chamillionaire? was recently won by home interiors specialist, Linda Barker. She will be taking the rapper’s place on the UK stint of his world tour

Crunk’d
In which Lil’ Jon takes the place of Ashton “Face of a Hunk, Brain Power of an Infant” Kutcher and plays outrageous practical jokes on his fellow Crunk stars. In the first episode, Mike Jones is told that all of his family have been ritualistically slaughtered with claw hammers. This particular prank back-fires after Jones is found dead, having sliced his own wrists with a shatter-proof ruler, before anyone could tell him it was all an hilarious joke. In the second episode, the Yin Yang Twins are both run over by a large van. While Lil’ Jon is adamant that this is all part of the show, a Federal Judge and jury see it as fairly clear-cut case of manslaughter. Despite this, however, most people involved (including the Yin Yang Twins’ parents) agree that it was the right thing to do.

Chop World
In which Miquita Oliver and Alex Zane are clumsily and violently butchered in front of their closest friends and family. The title pun isn’t great and it’s got nothing at all to do with Hip Hop, but the content of the show is almost certainly BAFTA (and possibly even Nobel Peace Prize) material.

Is it me or has he actually hit on a great concept for the Pop World duo??
