    Anyway.They touched on TV shows like Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons then went into hip hop and how Run DMC had the little white kid in their video to assure white ppl they should n't be afraid of black ppl.

    George Zimmerman never got that message

    Show looks good so far

    Em has always been respectful to his influences and peers

    And Em doesn't get the backlash Vanilla Ice got for being wack because he's dope

    Ice wasn't even good.He was just trippin

    Even Em didn't like Vanilla Ice

    It's similar,but the difference is that this isn't just about hip hop it's about black culture as a whole going mainstream because of hip hop

    They talk about sitcoms,TV shows,movies etc

    That other one didn't, but yes it's kind of like that

    I could watch this over reality shows anyday
