Shar Jackson, you go girl!
Check out my girl Shar Jackson giving her all on “Celebrity Rap Superstar.” Did she just shake the “K-Fed’s baby mama” tag that’s lingered around her like an unfortunate oversplash of Britney’s “Curious” for the last three years?
I’m pretty dumbfounded by this crazy summer of reversals. As we close out the season Britney’s career has descended into utter disaster, Shar reemerges as relevant, and everyone in the Western world is begging Amy Winehouse to go to “Rehab.” Good times.
In any case, I’m not even gonna front. As much as I’m trying to resist the MTV-ization of this blog (shifting focus from writing about music to writing about music reality TV), I really loved MTV’s latest “Celebrity Rap Superstar” which debuted on Thursday.
I mean, infamous celebrity stalker Perez Hilton performing Chingy’s “Right Thurr”? That there was some mighty entertaining television.
And, of course, my husband’s favorite, ’80s hair-metal dude Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach rockin’ L.L. Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out.”
The concept behind this show — famous rappers coaching “celebrities” to perform rap hits — was definitely a hit-or-miss experiment, but it works remarkably well.
Blast you, MTV, you got me again!
(Also, blast you for all those fake video embed links you have all over the “Celebrity Rap Superstar” page on MTV.com. Why not just post the html links?)
