MTV Cribs - Anybody watch this? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sebring Studios · 11-14-2008, 02:48 PM

This has to be a fucking farce. How the hell can rap stars that I've never even heard of have 25 million dollar homes, helicopters, another 10 mil in Lambos, Hummers, Bentleys etc.???

Hell, Jagger, Elton John, Gene Simmons, Jon Bon Jovi, and many others that have been around for decades don't even have that much shit.

WTF is up with that?

Marcus Aurelius · 11-14-2008, 02:51 PM

Rentals.

mvee · 11-14-2008, 02:59 PM

it's a leased lifestyle.

candyflip · 11-14-2008, 02:59 PM

It's pretty much widely known that MTV and/or the actual artist will rent these places out for this specific purpose.

TondaB · 11-14-2008, 02:59 PM

I have never seen it;)

candyflip · 11-14-2008, 03:00 PM

Anyone remember the Roots video where they lampooned the "leased lifestyle"?

After Shock Media · 11-14-2008, 03:01 PM

Ghetto fabulous

Rod Pierce · 11-14-2008, 03:15 PM

I didn't know they were leased. I guess a lapse of common sense on my behalf. That's messed up though. You got all these little kids lookin up to these fools thinkin that they can do the same. I'll bet the videos are the same story...

Well no it just depends really also, I know alot of the small time artists are leasing their shit, but honestly some big labels like Interscope take their artists overseas and make them millions before they ever debut in the states, so when they debut here they are already "ballin" for the cameras and living the lifestyle that people expect to see and that sells them as legit.

95% of the cars/homes/toys youy see on these videos and the music videos are Rented out and or leased, barely any of it actually belongs to the owners of it.

If you wanna watch a cribs thats real check out the 50cent on he actually bought that house from Mike Tyson when coke bought out his 10% share of Vitamin Water for around 400+million

dav3 · 11-14-2008, 03:21 PM

had no idea that show was still on, i stopped watching mtv when they stopped playing music

Marcus Aurelius · 11-14-2008, 03:31 PM

They got the top 10 largest homes countdown on right now. some crazy shit.

April777 · 11-14-2008, 03:56 PM

When the show the show first started it was a lot more "REAL". I would be amazed at how small some of the homes were because I was thinking they were "rich and famous" but now people I know can't make that much dough have the 20 million dollar mansions and about 50 cars, etc..

I think they are just looking for people who have any kind of name at all. I was in Rod Coleman's (Falcons) house and he told me his place was on cribs and I was shocked, I mean, it was nice but not cribs nice I thought, then when I left I looked it up on mtv's site and found it. I guess you dont gotta be hella rich, just famous, to get on there.

Horny Dude · 11-14-2008, 04:07 PM

I was always surprised by Moby's house. Dam that place looks cold and empty. He needs some stuff in there.

The best was when they had that guy from Virgin records, dang he didn't just have a crib, dude had a freak'n island!

Yeah, Richard Branson definitely had the best "Crib" ever.

The Duck · 11-14-2008, 06:02 PM

Oh yeah that island episode was sweet.

People still watch MTV?

By the late 1980s, music videos were mostly relegated to late night, and by the early 90s, music videos became few and far between - mostly rap / hip-hop a few hours per day.

And why watch MTV when there's MusicChoice ... music all the time without the talk and other nonsense.

Even most young folks these days don't bother with MTV when they can get the latest music, videos, commentary, etc all on the net.
