Southern Rapper Wins White Rapper Show
Yeah it’s true the White Rapper show I know you’ve been watching on VH1 was won by a southern rapper this past Sunday night. He goes by the name Shamrock out of the ATL and he won in the finale doing a live performace at the NYC club Hell beating out the other finalest John Brown. Like it or not but much of the reason why Shamrock was given the win was the current status of the south in the hip hop game. The south is large at the moment and Shamrock had his Paul Wall look and grill down and showed a lot of improvement during the season from start to finish.
However the win likely should have gone to the other man. He showed far more lyrical talent but as one of the judges said in the finale, lyrics dont matter any more. It’s sad that it’s come to that but I’m not sure I totally agree. Many of the southern rappers, well let me say UGK the southern royalty have some lyrical game as well as a few others like Chamillionaire, at moments Lil Flip and even a few of the lesser knowns. But really it was a gift to the south as a show of respect and a nod from the NYC and some old hip hop heads that the south is coming up and we’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether or not Shamrock makes it, he’s 100G’s richer and has a tv name to start building his career on, but the south is still going to keep blowing up for the near future.
Let me put it out there like this, we’ve got a Bun B myspace profile that’s the official Bun B myspace but it’s not managed or handled by Bun B. Instead it’s managed by some kid that spends most of the time filling it with garbage and spamming people with annoucements to promote himself or things that have little to do with UGK.
That’s right your boy Mike Jones is making noise again with the new “Mr Jones” single that’s hitting the airwaves and now the video shows pretty hard.
