My first impressions of the show was that Ice T was selling out by trying to try suburban preppy kids how to "RAP". And after seeing the first 2 episodes...my opinion remains the same. Its sad to think that hip hop has become so mainstream that people are actually attempting to teach it in a class. The only good thing about the show so far is that its actually pretty funny to see this little prep school kids attempt to rhyme. Although they are supposed to be the smartest kids going to the most private prep school in new york they have very little rhyming ability. These kids spill such elementary rhymes as "you think you're cool but you are just a fool" and "you are the best because you have manbreasts". One other good thing is that Ice T took this little suburban kids to the South Bronx, most of them though they were going to get robbed, murdered, and raped but they found out the "hood" was not what they though it was.
Overall the kids learn a good lesson and the mediocre rhymes are pretty funny.
