Didn't they do an episode at Master P's house in CCL?


Yep. And that was legitimately his house. The no limit tank on the floor when you walked in also looked much bigger in real life than it did on TV.

I was wondering if the Lil Bow Wow private jet thing was going to come up...



All that stuff done like that was all BS.... It's much worse today with IG and FB... and people fall/fell for it hook, line and sinker...

Like the girls on IG claiming they make a million a month on OF. No nudes and lame content.

Spike Lee stated that the houses that a lot of rappers and ballers lived in had multiple big screen televisions, pool tables and video games. The one thing that you never saw were books. Spot on.

Once you realize that, you'll be much happier.


Produced and fake....

They had a show on some channel called Buying the Bayou, a guys camp up river from ours was part of the programming where someone bought his camp. My uncle runs into the owner and he asked why he sold his camp. Turns out he didn't sell it, the producers approached him about using it as part of the production where they paid him to use it.

MTV effectively ended the real aspect of reality after the blowback from filming ODB rolling up to the welfare office in a limo to pick up his food stamps.

They can’t check the accessor’s website to see who owned it? Or ask for a copy of a lease?

Or would that destroy the whole glorification that consumption lifestyle shtick.

I want to see a rapper living in an affordable suburb because of the good schools and bragging about how much he’s saving and helping his kids start a business. He can show his collection of cars - a mid trim Chevy Silverado and a Toyota Sienna. And his lawn equipment because he does that himself. But that wouldn’t be interesting.

Pretty sure Master P with the gold tank in the pool was real.

Lady Boy Airways was worth only $500 in my account on Monday morning and now it's at $25000. Four years later and Lady Boy is back on the market again.

That's why the Redman episode was so good. He refused the rented house.

MTV went to shite when they started doing "reality TV". It was awesome when they did the top 20 countdown after school.
It all started with the Osbourne show around 2000. It was downhill after that

Catfish would have been awesome had it been real, but it was clearly staged and fake which ruined it for me.

I’ve been around for a minute and remember when MTV mainly played music videos.
