The White Rapper Show: Jon Boy

February 8th, 2007 | Author: Kevin Clark

HHDX: Do you really think that that type of video and song should’ve won given the challenges you’ve already done and the people you were introduced to?

JB: I think that our video should’ve definitely won. We were trying to make something that we felt would win. If everyday, you show us that the best videos contain girls and money, and you bring me girls and a whole bunch of money to throw around what am I to do? I wouldn’t understand why people would be mad at us for doing something that you’re already rewarding. You have to use the props during the challenge. If you don’t, then you’re not going to win. They put us in a situation and want us to react in a way that’s not predictable.

HHDX: Well, after Sullee and you agreed to “not snitch” when spittin’ your verses, he eliminated himself and you were told to step off. So, how has been life after the (White) Rapper Show?

JB: Man, life has been good. I was on my grind really hard before. You know what I’m about… I’m about making hits. I’m going to parlay that into doing a lot more shows. I’m going to be releasing the hottest independent album this year. People… twenty, thirty years from now will understand what I’m saying. I’m putting my heart and soul into this music. There’s no time for half-stepping. That’s my only mission right now. I just did a show in Winchester, Virginia and I have a show coming up in Orlando.

HHDX: You’re embarking on regional tour, also, right? Where are you looking to go to?

JB: It just takes time. Now that I’m not on the show, I can do a little bit more to coordinate things.

HHDX: The past few interviews that we’ve done, your cast members talked about how the show wasn’t about finding the next White rapper; that it was about making a mockery. Do you believe that you were made out to be a parody on the show?

JB: No. I think that they put a comedic twist on everything. But here’s the thing; they only showed certain characteristics. They only show people certain ways. They showed John Brown being the smart-ass, they showed Sullee always seeming like he was ready to fight. They might have portrayed us in a certain manner, but I could give a shit less. I want to show the world that I’m better and that I have the skills needed to be a success in this game.

HHDX: So, you don’t think that by appearing on a reality TV show that it won’t hinder your progress?

JB:
No, I’m telling you. Dude… rap show… no show… nothing is going to stop my fans and I from getting to the top. It’s all about growing and evolving. Ten years from now people will see what I have been talking about. But on the real, Kev… nothing but God can stop me. Nothing… not a reality show, not critics, nothing!
