"ego trip's The (White) Rapper Show" Season Finale Airs
Monday, February 26 at 10pm (ET/PT)
Our final two emcees, John Brown and $hamrock battle with anxiety and
warm up for their final showdown with a half-time spectacle at the famous
Rucker Park in Harlem. The Bronx don Fat Joe shows up to encourage our
finalists to do their best. But the real test comes when the finalists
discover in the end that the music biz is pure hell. Literally. Only one
emcee is gonna be white-hot enough to win, while the other one will go
down in flames, yo.
20 years after the Beasties first exercised their "License to
Ill," VH1 and ego trip stepped in to search for the next great “white
rapper” in “ego trip’s The (White) Rapper Show.” Set in the
birthplace of hip hop, the South Bronx, and hosted by white rap legend
Michael “MC Serch” Berrin (of the group 3rd Bass) and producing legend
Prince Paul, “ego trip’s The (White) Rapper Show” put 10 contestants
from all over America through challenges that tested their musical “cred,”
knowledge of hip hop culture, and their ideas about race. Along the way,
hip hop pioneers, such as Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, and Fat Joe were
brought in to school and critique our eager rappin’ competitors.
