Track 4: Manhattan... - January 29
Last week, we played a ghetto version of "Family
Feud", but in the end, it was G-Child left running away. Seven white rappers
remain.
Sullee was ready to go home, seriously.
Jus Rhyme fun facts: 1) PhD candidate in Ethnic
Studies. 2) Part-Time Anti-Racism Rapper. 3) Refuses to eat at White Castle.
That... and a few more choice words, all lead the others to think that Jus needs
to come from his own experience. "You make people feel guilty for breathing."
Next challenge: 100 Proof, Sullee & $hamrock vs.
Persia, JonBoy & Jus Rhyme. John Brown has a choice of teams... and he chooses
Team Red (Persia et al.). In Serch's pocket, two CDs of beats (hip-hop rule
#571: real MCs always keep hot beats in their pants). These beats come courtesy
of super producer Just Blaze.
Work as a team, be judged as a team.
Red Team starts freestyling, thinking that they
want to come with more than a dance joint (because "they have ATL [$hamrock] on
their team"). Jus doesn't like songs about drugs, though, so this may be hard.
But he does "party his way to social justice". Blue team starts spitting about
women.
Jus doesn't want "security" in the Red song. He
was thinking about "cameras, mirrors, smoke in the club." John is like... what?
The Blue team... done. They start getting their
drink on. I'm guessing this is relevant somehow. Sullee and 100 Proof don't
disagree with Jus' skill, only his ideology.
At the studio, the spitters meet Just Blaze and
are about to use the same mic used by Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, and the Beastie
Boys. Red team is first with Ryan West. Seems like Jus is getting the short end
of the stick. Then Blue with DJ Nastee. Rule: make sure you know your rhyme
before you get in the booth. Just Blaze notes that $hamrock and 100 Proof may be
the weakest links.
John is not confident in Jus as a rapper,
comparing his skills to "college open mic". He wants to shout out to the crew...
and everyone stops him. And it looks like the rapper of nirvana is about to
reach his boiling point.
Time for dinner... and we've got dinner guests...
La Coka Nostra (Everlast and Danny Boy of House of Pain with Ill Bill, and ADM).
They basically wrote the diary of white hip-hop. They did it by getting the
"White" to disappear, much like Tiger Woods was a "Black" golfer. Now he's just
a golfer. Ill Bill tells Jus to "speak to everybody."
Morning...
Time to see if these club bangers bang at the
club... oh, and one more thing... "IT IS NOT A GAME, PEOPLE."
Welcome to Sin City. Yes, they're going to a
strip club. Turns out that 90% of all hip-hop tracks begins here. They'll be
judged by Kool Keith aka Dr. Octagon aka Dr. Doom aka Black Elvis. The dancers
who respond the best to the jams wins the challenge for their team.
(Due to the obviously dirrty nature of this
challenge, we won't go into details. Because, you know, this is a family
website... heh... yeah)
Of course, both teams very sure of themselves.
Keith gives Red an 8, as they were disjointed. The blue team... they went for
unison.
Winners... Red. The rewards... girls... Jus
didn't want a lap dance, out of respect for his girlfriend. He's got a lot of
tricks up his sleeve, and he's not playing all of them... yet.
Meanwhile, Proof pisses in the sink.
"You've got mayo."
"You're gonna have to dig deep, or your stay in
Tha White House is gonna be brief."
Back on the stoop with Serch and Prince Paul. The
Red Team move to the barbecue pit, while the others prepare to be cooked.
They... get panties on their head? The topics for these clean beats...
100 Proof - broads (women!)
Sullee - booze (liquor!)
$hamrock - ballers (big spenders!)
$hamrock's first... with peanut butter and jelly.
Sullee had the rhyme with no game. Proof... breaks. It's between Sullee and 100
Proof... "This show ends where the last one left off...
100 Proof, I need your sneakers. It's time to
step off."
100 Proof is still gonna be himself, no matter
what.
