We'd like to tell you it was LL Cool J, Fredro Starr and Brandy's wack t.v.show that inspired HipHopDX to cover television. But, it was actually shows like The (white) Rapper Show, The Flavor of Love and I Love New York that had the hip hop world buzzing and made us want to deliver you a little more than just the latest 50 Cent song or Lil' wayne mixtape.

The White Rapper Show: Persia Thursday, February 15, 2007 - Kevin Clark | Comments: 73

She’s the gully, fire-mouthed lyricists from New York. Born and raised in the heart of MC Shan’s hometown, Persia was the heart… and voice… of the (White) Rapper Show. Her antics drew the ire of the Black community (using the N-word), the laughter of millions (John Brown + A Dildo = Comedy Gold) and the respect of a hip-hop legend (MC Serch).

But, Brown continued to trooper on and with the Ghetto Revival spokesman campaigning his “entity” status every week, millions grew accustomed to...

I Love New York: T-Weed Thursday, February 22, 2007 - Kevin Clark | Comments: 33

Kevin Watson is an enigma. He’s a walking episode of MTV’s Diary. You think you know T-Weed, but you really have no idea. The (location) native is known to all as T-Weed, the flashy baller worth $100 Million Dollars. As I Love New York got deeper, the fellas had to give financial presentations to New York, Sister Patterson and villainous vixen… Omarosa. Mr. Watson gave a lot of hoopla and made the boisterous claim of being worth Donald Trump money. All in all, a background check seemingly proved otherwise and Kevin Watson was viciously booted off the show. HHDX sits down with the man with the plan, T-Weed...
