fail because women, or fail because just bad?


not being black and hating rap, I already understand this "SHOW" is not for me.

is there a large audience of female wanna be rappers out there wanting a show like this??

the name shoots its own foot. should be called, "no one cares, move on" ??

who greenlights this "SH!T" ?

reply

There are droves of stupid people that just want to flap their gums and make millions not actually doing anything productive.

It should just be called "Shit", because that's what it is..

reply

Does it always offend you when something isn't about vanilla white dudes for vanilla white dudes?

Making fun of white people isn't the right way to go about making your point.
The answer to racism is not more racism.

reply

Honey, you need to learn what racism is.

Damn, that does look whitebread. It's as bad in a white way as this Rap Shit is bad in a black way. It just shows that both races are capable of excessive redundant inanity.

reply

I DISCLAIMERED it immediately with my very first sentence, didn't I?
I'm aware of my personal bias already.
however, having tried to watch it (production quality is fine) I can't grasp who this content interests?
does it not shoot it's own foot with the name? Rap "SHIT" ?? or is that some slang I don't understand

Looking at the poor ratings, I see it is not just "white guy me" alone with the view.

So... who is loving it??

reply

>Rap "SHIT" ?? or is that some slang I don't uncerstand

This is some boomer shit 😂

reply

CONTEXT!
does it not shoot it's own foot with the name? Rap "SHIT" ?? or is that some slang I don't understand

reply

It's just slang.

Suppose someone is a mechanic as a job and they say, "I'm busy doing that mechanic shit!" or they work with computers, "I'm busy doing that computer shit!"

That's how i always heard it.

reply

Obviously everyone who isn't you is liking it. You seem to have a hard time grasping the fact that not everything out there to watch is about you. So get over that, please.

reply

but but but.... there's no mexicans, asians, polish, germans, latinos, gays, trans, very few whites.... meaning this show is RACIST! homo and transphobic!
CANCEL CULTURE, WHERE ARE YOU WHEN NEEDED???

reply

I am not black.
I like rap.
I like female rappers.

I still will not be watching this show, but it has nothing to do with racism, sexism, or hating rap.

But, I would be willing to bet that a lot of people who hate black people, women, and rap would especially hate this show because it combines 3 things they really despise all in one. It's bad enough they hate black people AND women, but when you combine black AND a woman? Oh boy the hatred comes to light...especially if she's loud....or fat....or loud and fat combined....then add on a black woman who also likes rap and the seething reaches gigantic heights. That's almost like some kind of intersectionality or something.

reply

see, I would think this show would interest you because you like female rappers. why won't you be watching this show?

also, yes, I saw the unhealthily heavy characters also as a repellent... I get it, some guys love fat women. I don't, so I didn't enjoy staring at it while the plot developed. it just makes me want to turn it off.

I gave it a shot - mostly out of curiosity to see who it appeals to, and yet I still don't know.

reply

I just looked up a picture of the cast. They don't look too fat. Who are you talking about?

IT ISN'T PORN...YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AROUSED WHILE WATCHING...DO THE MALE CHARACTERS AND ELDERLY FEMALE CHARACTERS ALSO REPEL YOU?

reply

Would have been a huge success if Tyler Perry directed it. "Madea takes a Rap Crap"

reply

WEAK

reply

No worries. Just got cancelled.

reply

target demo did not support? yet again? are they learning yet?

reply

Obviously due to toxic racist men. 🙄

reply

What do you mean "target demo" not support? What are you getting at? There are plenty of other 'black culture' ongoing TV shows that have done well, and continue to do so.

Max also just cancelled a bunch of TV shows.

reply

the target audience APPARENTLY didn't support this well enough.

from my initial post: WHO is this aimed at? Is there a huge audience for this one? Seems the answer is very apparent now if it has been canceled:

the audience it was made for didn't support it.
I'm not GETTING at anything. Just pointing out business fact.

reply

>the target audience APPARENTLY didn't support this well enough.

Okay?

>from my initial post: WHO is this aimed at? Is there a huge audience for this one? Seems the answer is very apparent now if it has been canceled:

People into rap, and women and black people (or a combination thereof).

reply

they were supposed to support it.... make everything equal.... you know, stick to all those white guy shows etc. what happened to that objective?

reply

Who says they were "supposed" to do anything? Shows get cancelled all the time

reply

Especially shows that never considered if they had an audience.
Monumental waste of money and talent.

reply

Lots of "niche" shows are made. If TV shows only made stuff for "big audiences" then we'd get nothing but cop shows, medical shows and legal dramas. It's good when we see more 'obscure' settings or concepts.

reply

Meh.... we've got to many options of large pools of garbage media already.... quantity over quality now....I guess that's the future. I wish they'd focus on quality instead of shock value.

reply

There are lots of quality shows around.

But the idea that any show that isn't by design trying to appeal to a big audience is wasted is setting yourself up to only support vanilla media.

reply

Come on. They CALLED it shit. There was zero reason for that. Immediately cut a segment of audience

reply

Why do you care?

"shit" as in "this is the shit" is not a remotely uncommon expression, and anyone into hip hop would know that.

reply

Yeah it's not for me. I stand by my OP

reply

So because you think the terminology is an insult, therefore hip-hop fans do?

All you're doing is demonstrating you're hopelessly out of touch with urban slang.

reply

The Movie and TV Industry greenlights shit all the time. This one just happened to have it in the title. Should have been a tip off, don't you think?

I had never heard of this, so was of course surprised when people got angry over it.

reply

If I was into rap, just the title would bug me. But I'm not so it just looks worse, self defeating. Like stupid. Like reinforcing why I don't like rap.
What if they made shows called catholic shit, or Jewish shit, or God forbid, woman shit?

What's next on the low bar of show titling?
"I f*cked your mom"
"She's a c*nt"
"Suck my c*ck, Mr. President"
I mean, why not, right?
