lol...I feel ya..but I love the show!!!


Piddy is tired for real of their madness. They are still thinking they in the hood.

well, i do give them a little slack because i don't see how you can be made to make a whole album in 2 weeks. that's crazy, especially with 6 people who have totally diff. styles that have to be packaged together.
but hey, it makes for good TV and that's why it's the way it is

he's a solo artist, writing for himself by himself. the whole rap 'band' thing is really weird to being with. i thought it was funny when NSync's former crazed manager wanted to be their manager, the look on their faces was priceless..lol

I have been following Making The Band 2 and I agree with a lot of what was said in here. You guys crack me up for real! Making The Band 2 shows the world that you can take the boy out the hood but you can't take the hood out the homeboy. All these kids have the chance to achieve their dream and it's right there dangling on a carrot and they still can't grasp it. Crab in a barrel mentality for real. All the boys are wack in my opinion, especially the reggae one, he had the nerve to call out WYCLEF on his production knowledge?! The look on Wyclef's face was like, "no, this fool didn't." A lot of them kids like Puffy said was "EXTRA!" Everybody put extras on everything ("CHOPPER ATE MY LEAN CUISINE?!"). But it makes for great television. I knew they weren't going to get their act together the second time around AND THEY HAD TOP INDUSTRY MANAGERS VYING TO ASSIST THEM! An unsigned cat would kill for that. My favorite to watch is Babs, the things she says are priceless: "We up here in the crib while y'all n*z out in the club shakin' yo a* with b*s ." But she summed up the vibe of the entire show when she said, "When this s* doesn't go down and we don't make the record y'all n*z gonna feel real stupid."

Speaking of Prince, he should be the star of the next "making of the band" Just think about the possibilities. For the band members initiation he could send them out on the street corner to pass out copies of "The Watch Tower". Or send them door to door in search of Prince bootlegs and other unauthorized copies. Now that would be great television!

I used to like Puffy, but after seeing him promoting 'new' artists, after he flat left the good ol' other ones, despite his return with Mary...after he made all those whack people memorize all the words to Biggie's song and 'Rapper's delight', I think he's just another a-hole in the business, who gets his way, just because he is 'that way'...so watching 'making the band' kind of confirmed that.

Oh yeah, and in another way, by bringing on these people with ghetto attitudes and mentality, with hopes, dreams, and aspirations of making it, this show often times sends off the wrong message when they have people like Puffy in charge, who instead of trying to make a 'difference', they just continue to feed into all the nonsense in the business world for these up and coming artists who think that's the only way to go. People have been through worst, but what I see mostly on the show is all the stupidity that goes on that probably hinders SOME people, who don't act that way, to enter the business in first place, as it also only feeds into stereotypes of how all the people interested in the music really are. And then when newspapers like the New York Post have any mention of them, such as in today's paper referencing the show 'How I'm living', they call it ‘a way for ridiculous rappers to show off they lavish lifestyles’...same goes for the music in the hip-hop world, but that's a racist newspaper anyway, but the point is still there...

This shit is getting ridiculous, but what's even more sad is how we all continue to watch it-including myself! It's just amazing how MTV seems so eager to air this bullshit which, once again, gives a distorted and misconstrued perception of how black people act.
