Shows I Won’t Be Watching: CELEBRITY RAP SUPERSTAR
August 29, 2007 by Kath Skerry
So MTV is pairing up eight former famous rappers with eight E-List celebs (I refuse to call them D List out of respect for Kathy Griffin) for their new reality show CELEBRITY RAP SUPERSTAR, which premieres this Thursday at 10/9c. Each week the celeb and their rap star mentor will work together on a rap that the celeb will have to perform live in front of a studio audience and selected judges. Some weeks the celeb will cover familiar rap songs, other times they will have to write their own, and in what is sure to be a complete train wreck the celebs will freestyle rap – 8 Mile style.
Following each week’s performances the viewing audience will vote for their favorite contestant and the person with the least amount of votes will be eliminated until the rapper with the best skills is chosen as the winner. I wonder if online voting will be allowed because if it is, I think Perez Hilton might have this one locked.
Here’s a list of the celeb rappers and their superstar mentors. These celebs makes the Dancing with the Stars contestants look like Brad & Angelina.
The “Celebrity” Wannabe Rappers…
- Perez Hilton – the producers were smart to pick Perez since they couldn’t pay for the advertising they’ll be getting for free from his website
- Shar Jackson – K-Fed’s ex, really, shame on them for keeping her in the spotlight
- Kendra Wilkinson – One of Heff’s girls, I wonder if she’ll get naked for extra votes
- Sebastian Bach – Now that Gilmore Girls is over, it looks like Sebastian needs a new gig
- Countess Vaughn – She’s got some pipes, but can she rap?
- Jason Wahler – Now this is just plain wrong!! I’m surprised he’s doing this because he’s kind of shy (no, I’m not kidding)
- Kevin Hart – Um, who?
- Jamal Anderson – name one ex-NFL star who hasn’t tried to rap
- Efren Ramirez – Once again I ask…who?
The Rap “Superstars”…
- Redman
- Bizarre
- Too Short
- Bubba Sparxx
- Kurupt
- Tone Loc
- Warren G
- McLyte
- Da Brat
- DMC
Just because I won’t be watching doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile for others to check out. If you plan on watching, let me know.

Come on, Kath-this sounds like a recipe for hilarity. TV so awful and painful to watch that it’s enjoyable…
I’ll DVR it and watch it when I’m bored….
Efren Ramirez is the actor played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite.
oh come onnn GMMR, I know you are a rapper at heart.
Do you mean Sebastian BACH? You know he was on Broadway, too. I think Stars Hollow came after that. But I still hate rap and will nto be watching. Give me Celeb-bratty Fat Club or Rock of Love any day!
I was just going to comment that Efren is Pedro, but I’m too late. I don’t know what to think about this show.
I like rap and i will watch.
I’m not american and i have to say, i don’t know anybody on the celebrity list..
Whatever, MC Lyte is one of the classiest woman on earth, DMC is a genius and Redman is a funny guy.
I love hip-hop music and will never watch a second of this show, it is insulting to real hip-hop artists to believe that someone can become a talented “rapper” seemingly overnight.
