Several mysteries were revealed on tonight’s finale of ‘Celebrity Rap Superstar’.
Where have I heard that theme song from? or What would it be like if we could see MC Lyte, Redman and Bubba Sparxx performing together?
These and several other questions were answered tonight was that night as hip hop history was made. If you find yourself Tivoless reading this blog…
Don’t cry, dry your eye.
I’ve got your back and the entire almost historical clip after the jump…
This show started with a duo between the booty shakin’ champ Kendra Wilkinson and Shar Jackson, performing ‘It Takes Two.’ The performance was predictable at best except for the outfits. Was it just me or does Shar and Kendra look sharper and hotter than ever? I was especially loving Kendra’s subliminal “watch my other reality show” outfit with the blinged out Playboy logo.
The next performance was the guys singing ‘Shake Ya Tailfeather.’ I gotta say, we didn’t really learn too much.
Jason Wahler is still too good for rehearsal and obviously still not good enough to be a rapper. Efren also performed foolishly doing the complete opposite by trying to rap too hard.The most surprising revelation about the men’s performance was HOW FREAKING AWESOME Jamal turned out to be!
It was sad to see him be the first to go, we might have had a real rap competition if he made it to the final 2 with Shar.
Sebastian took his own stage when he performed ‘Slam.’ Which also leads me to mention. What’s with the early nineties hip hop all over this show? We will definitely get to Naughty by Nature in a moment… But seriously. All the music seemed to be trapped in a time warp.It was the ladies turn to perform and it made a lot of sense to stick Perez Hilton with the rest of the ladies…
At first perplexed but not surprised at all at Perez Hilton’s ‘I want to be Hugh Hefner’ outfit with a pair of sexy dancers to match, the performance itself was not as exciting. After the performance, Kevin Hart needed to confirm that he still not attracted to Perez or men after that performance. (What a strange comment!)
However, the best performance of the night was definitely the mentor’s performance of the hip hop classic ‘Rappers Delight.’ Words cannot express. Just watch the clip:
After the amazing mentor’s performance, we were privvy to see the finalists Shar & Kendra’s favorite performances.
For Kendra it was to pay homage to her mentor Too Short’s ‘Blow the Whistle.’ And she tore it apart. Getting down and dirty with the audience, Kendra looked the most comfortable as a rapper than ever. For Shar, it was an encore performance of ‘Get Ur Freak On.’
Now for me to be all surprised and tell you who the winner was is kind of lame cause anyone semi paying attention to the show could easily tell that Shar was the winner from jump. Even if you got it wrong, have a 50/50 chance. And you would find out.
What did surprise me is Shar shedding a tear. For a woman who was so strong, it was really nice to see her appreciation for the title. She made us believe week after week that she wanted it, and when we gave it to her she didn’t take it for granted.
Although I would have liked to see Shar and MC Lyte have a bigger hug or have Shar give her mentor more props.After 8 weeks of listening to some version of ‘Hip Hop Hooray’ we finally got to see Naughty by Nature perform the song .
With the cheers from the song and the crowd we wrapped up the first season of ‘Celebrity Rap Superstar.’ With a complimentary booty shake from Kendra.
We sent Shar Jackson towards a greater level of purpose beyond being K-Fed’s baby mama. And I know I can’t wait to see what she’s got up her sleeves in the future.
Nice to see that singing/and or rapping talent is what the final vote was on..and not just.. "booty shaking"....PEACE!!!! ;)
You did work it out girl.
Skill vs. Booty shakin.
In the rap game skill should always come before Booty shakin. The booty shakin, no skills and dumb lyrics is what is killin the rap game to this day.
thier. if i were there id do the same thing
please stop trying to be something your not!
The show did not make since. Not at all. I read the previews and heard it being talked up and couldn't believe what I saw the first time. The second and third show, horrible.
Also, when Shar won, did you hear what she said? "I may consider rapping."
What is up with this? No wonder I haven't heard anything too good lately. People playing around with it.
