I’m all for ratchet television but not all ratchet is created equal… It’s levels to the sh*t. With that being said VH1 has a couple of interesting new reality shows coming down the tube that may spark your interest…or not. I put the word out a few months ago about Ryan Seacrest executive producing his new series surrounding the lives of 5 white femcee’s and their rise in the Hip Hop world, but it was just confirmed that the show has been picked up by VH1 for a summer release right along with K.Michelle’s new spin-off show…
Now the bad news… They gave the Hot 97 radio crew a reality show instead of The Breakfast Club…
‘This is Hot 97’, which will follow the daily antics at the famous ratchet New York hip-hop radio station, will be executive produced by reality show pimp Mona Scott-Young for Monami Entertainment and will feature the likes of Laura Stylez, Peter Rosenberg, Funkmaster Flex, Ebro Darden, Angie Martinez and Miss Info…
Missing in action of course seems to be DJ Mister Cee who hands down would’ve been the single reason for tuning in, especially after his transexual exploits were exposed last summer causing him to quit his job at the station briefly. ‘This is Hot 97’ is scheduled to premiere March 31st at 10:30 p.m.
