MTV ruin rap… again!
As if MTV hadn’t made rap shit already, they’re doing their best to go one step further.
Celebrity Rap Superstar is debuting on MTV tomorrow [30th] and sees celebrities[!] like Perez Hilton try and turn themselves into capable rappers. Warren G, Tone Loc and Paul Wall are among the mentors for the show which basically shows you what a steaming heap of shit it’s going to be.
Tell you what, why not sign 50 Cent up to teach kids how to count, Eminem to hold seminars on loving your wife and Nelly opening fashion boutiques too? Muppets.
