So, what happens on MTV shows is generally the fodder for the Remote Control blog, and hip-hop is the focus of the Sucker Free blog, but we can't NOT talk about last night's premiere of Celebrity Rap Superstar!
Who knew that the breakout rap talent would be Skid Row's Sebastian Bach? He handled LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" like a champ, and somehow his cheesy hair metal chops actually helped him out! He could win this thing! Although, so could Countess Vaughan or Shar Jackson, so watch your back, Sebastian ...
Not surprising was the lack of talent from The Hills/Laguna Beach alum Jason Wahler, but Efren Ramirez's hip-hop faceplant was disappointing. A whole season of "Vote for Pedro!" sloganeering flushed away right before our very eyes.
So, Celebrity Rap Superstar looks like it could be a helluva lot of fun to watch. And the online exclusive "After Show" will undoubtedly spawn some choice moments, such as blogarazzi Perez Hilton throwing fake gang symbols as host Liz Hernandez walks into the green room! Only on MTV.
