A Letter of Thanks

Today, I would like to thank Vh1 for creating Ego Trip's White Rapper Show. This must be what hip hop has been waiting for (notice my sarcasm?). I would like to express my gratitude for allowing John Brown, aka "King of the Burbs" to infiltrate the show.
Brown claims to be an entity. I don't what that's supposed to mean, but it's apparently part of the "Ghetto Revival".

How does one go about this revival? Let's stake a stab at it shall we.

• First, remove yourself from people involved in the culture by making yourself an entity, not a rapper.
• Second, secure a slot on a reality show who's goal is to create the next white rapper to clasp onto Eminem's coattails.
  
• Third, create a concept like the "ghetto revival", act like the city is economically and spiritually bankrupt, and spit vague sentence fragments about being the "King of the Burbs" without actually doing anything for the "ghetto".
  

Once you have done this, the John Brown School for Urban Policy/Renewal will award you with it's coveted "Ignorance is Bliss" award for academic fraudulence.

On the real side, I do honestly salute VH1 for making the history of hip hop such an important aspect of the show. It's great so see figures like Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, and Grandmaster Caz on this show. I hope that viewers realize that we must go beyond the gimmick of the "white rapper" and come to understand the
