Twitter talking about MTV Cribs being a sham

Ayo....who do you guys think is gonna win that sales battle: Kanye or 50 Cent?

Yeah we knew this back then. Almost all hip-hop ppl were cappin' and on some fake it till you make it type of time. I believe a few of them were real, but most of them were renting them homes, cars, jewelry and even clothes. They were selling physical copies of their albums but still was getting jerked left and right. But ain't nothing much really changed since. There are still a few big names making a lot of money and the vast majority are not even recouped.

I mean, my thing was why is everyone's house so clean, spotless and doesn't look lived in at all.

If you are gonna have a big time TV film a tour of your home you are gonna clean it up. shyt regular people have houses looking spotless when trying to sell.

The thing for me in retrospect is understanding how little money most of these people actually make. We all got a laugh outta Reggie but he was probably living better than most IRL.

I remember as a young’n noticing how most of the cars had the same front license plate (car rental place)

 

[Lurkio]

That tweet is wrong Fif didn’t lie he owned that crib in CT

The cars weren’t his

I understood they are fake, but i'm not getting the idea that being a rental makes it fake. People show off hotel suites and fancy apartments all the time.
Celebrities can't be renters?

 

[MasterThought]

Everybody on the coli knew it was fake in real time but yet stay falling for these fake/staged social media viral videos of today

 

[Braman]

Average TV consumer is stupid. They believe programs on MTV like cribs or pimp my ride were real.

I'm surprised there's still a new content out these days telling people about these fake shows. It's like saying Santa is not real in 2024.

It’s a whole new ballgame now. People are finding out skits and lil relationship memes are fake——but still commentating on it like it’s real. On some WWE shyt

Renting as in they rented it for the show, not that they actually lived there.

 

[DapMeUp!]

Ok I haven't thought about this show in a cool 2 decades, not even going to act like I knew it was fake as a youngin.

I might have to go back and watch a few just to laugh now lol.

doesn't bother me regardless. Shows are meant to be for entertainment. I always assume tv shows and movies put entertaining before authenticity

that ying yang twins house isnt even a mansion. they had them up in a regular ass suburban 2 story home.

Master P and Redman were the only ones I believed

Shaq's was real too

well would make sense to have it clean up for a tour on tv
