I can't believe a network actually created a show like that. All it will do is promote seperation in the hip-hop community I sent out a bulletin on myspace to boycott the show (here's what I wrote).
Vh1 is dividing the culture of hip-hop with this disgraceful show. I believe a great hip-hop artist is one who writes good songs consistently to paint a picture of self expression, creativity, word play and lyrical content - That is what makes a great MC. Your color of skin is irrelevant to being capable of doing those things. Please pass this message on and boycott this show. I hope the show fails miserably. The show is a disgust as well as an insult to all people in the hip hop movement and that includes ALL RAPPERS (regardless of race).
I can't believe a show is on that will only qualify white rappers. I wanna show that searches for the GREATEST MC not the greatest white rapper who avoided competing for his spot with rappers of all other races for $100,000. A show like this only makes it more difficult for the "real" white MCs to gain credibility.
Credible hip-hop should not have racial boundaries. This show is creating such a boundary.
