I am getting closer. I can feel it. I have two promising interviews this week. That's all I can say about it at the moment. And now on to more important things!  

Here is a rundown of the current contestants on The (White) Rapper Show:

G-Child - short, pale young lady from Allentown, PA. Kind of grungy looking with dishwater blond hair. Sports the classic 90's shaved-on-the-sides-long-on-top hairdo. And this is unbelievable, but her favorite 'rapper' is Vanilla Ice. Seriously. She carries a photo of him and her together in her wallet.

100 Proof - my favorite contestant. Not so much for his abilities but because he wears Waylon Jennings t-shirts. (Seeing as I named one of my kids after Waylon Jennings, 100 Proof gets my vote automatically). 100 Proof is from Texas. He's a bigger guy and he teases a high, blond, half-hawk on top of his head and wears a Mike Muir style bandana across his forehead and brow.

John Brown - this guy is from Davis, CA. He looks kind of like someone you would see skating on the East Side. He seems decent lyrically but he has this gimmick of being 'King of the 'Burbs' and he keeps talking about his start-up collective/company 'Ghetto Rivival' which when pressed about he can't really explain what it is. As Lord Jamar from Brand Nubian said to him last night, Why do you want to revive the ghetto - that just poverty and pain for African-Americans!?!

Persia - At first I found her to be big and obnoxious and overbearing and I thought she was like some big white chick from the midwest that was enamored with the negative aspects of Black culture. But, it turns out, while she is big and obnoxious, she is from Far Rockaway, Queens and she is a good rapper and she likes good rap. I'm starting to like her more. She and John Brown dislike one another.

Sullee - Looks like Reshkey. He's from Boston. Very self-assured in his abilities ... probably more so than he should be. He seems decent but not spectacular. He lost his cool and wanted to fight John Brown when John Brown and Persia were arguing - chill out man.

JusRhyme - Seemed like someone that would maybe be part of the Rhymesayers collective up in MSP or something. However, he's beginning to get on people's nerves for being a little too righteous.

JonBoy - he's from Virginia. Seems kind of plain. His company's name is High Rolla Records and I think that's kind of lame. But just the same he seems nice.

$hamrock - this guy is from Atlanta so I guess he is going for that 'Crunk' type flow. He has an odd mouth, or as they might say on the show, 'grill' and he wears gold teeth. He seems cool enough but on his myspace page he claims his philosophy to be 'I ain't tryin' to reinvent the wheel here - I make music, I get money and I make it happen.' His stock just dropped in this watcher's eyes.

So there you have the contestants currently in the race for $100,000 on VH1's The (White) Rapper Show. Well, actually that's what you had, last night, G-Child was eliminated, It was only a matter of time, I mean, Vanilla Ice? Are you serious? 3 down 6 to go, stay tuned!
