Why hasn't this been done? (peep this w/feedback)

IP: 0715 E2C0

I've seen every freakin channel cashing in on this reality, American Idol type of shit...Turn a no-body into a star...
Well, Clarkson is all over the radio with "Miss Independence"...
Plus she made a movie with the runner up, Justin. (sucked from what I know, but it's still a real movie)
Ruben is comin out with shit, so is that Clay runner up guy...

With that shit in mind...
Comparing them in sales to some of rap's latest sales...
Jay-Z, 50, Bad Boys II, etc...(not to mention the sales on whatever's Em's latest will be)

I don't know exact figures, but I'd say rap sales are kickin their sales in the ass...

Could be wrong, but still...

So why in the fuck haven't we seen a goddamn rap reality show?
Slingas from across the nation get they looseleaf together, bring they balls, heart, and brains to an audition...
Catagories would be like, freestyle and pre-written battles, and maybe, you know, just verses...deep shit, party shit, whatever...

Wouldn't you stand in fuckin line if this shit came to your town?

Winner recieves a contract, endorsements, blah, blah, blah...
Basically, a shot at a real rap career.

Why the fuck hasn't a TV exec thought of this?
Money is clearly there to be made...

The closest they came was when another Justin (Jacoby) made it to the top 10 on Fame a week or so back, but he was cut when they brought the number to 6. He was a white boy rapper, clean cut, had some good shit, kinda Em-ish, but with his own style. He just couldn't hang cuz they really were looking for more a broadway dancer type...still, he tried.

What ya'll think...would you try out?

I dont think that I would tryout, but it would be a good show. With the popularity and acknowledgement that hip hop has recieved you would think that someone would capitalize on it.
