Anybody watch this? It's kind of like a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous for the Gen X and Gen Y crowd.

Some people have some dope cribs! Babyface....damn! Tommy Lee has a pretty nice pleasure palace too! I think I recognized some of his interior decorating from the Pam/Tommy video. Dream (the girl group)...their house sucks. ....but I guess it's all relative to what bigger star's homes are like.

I don't know why, but I really like watching this show (even if it's not a celebrity that I like). I don't purposely find out when the show is on so I can watch, but when I'm flipping through the digital cable channel guide and I see it, I'll watch it.

I think the new episodes start this Thursday...with Mariah Carey's Manhattan loft.

It's on my Tivo, so I have seen almost all the videos they showed this weekend, my fave's have been Jayson Williams place
that is out of contrrol..

And I also like Dave Navarro's.. It's a fun show, waiting to see how Skank Mariah's place is tonight....

Here's a topic: why do rap stars' homes always look like my concept of "suburban tract-home nightmare?" Discuss.

Someone should tell these "rappas" that an interior design of nothing but solid beige is not "bling-bling."

The best is the one they did on "Gemini's Twin"

das

"Hi. We Gemini's Twin. And this is our cri-i-i-i-i-iiiiiiiiii-ii-i-i-i-iiiiiiiii-b, yeaaaaaaaah."

Redman's crib was hysterical. I especially like the shoebox of cash above the fridge.

Who was the rapper that had the "strip club" stage and pole in his basement? That was great.

Was Redman the one with that messy apartment with crap all over the place? That was like my room when I was in high school.

I think the guy with the pole was one of the members of Outkast, wasn't it?

Did you see Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s place? He had that whole bar/lounge/disco built in his basement.

I love this show! It cracks me up to watch it - young folks who suddenly have millions of dollars and for some reason they think that when you have money you are supposed to show it off as much as possible.

I would love to know how many of these artists-du jour will have any $$ left in about 10 years.

master p's house is ridiculous, his whole house is made out of gold almost

It's kinda funny I have been in loads of furniture stores in SF, and there is one in particular and I am telling you every one of the Rap Stars with the shiny homes, shopped in there, no doubt at all.

I see tables, couches, lamps, everything in there houses all from this one store. And the stuff is expensive, Sectional sofa's for about 10K. I think most of these new millionaire's think that money is where it's at.

I mean Fieldy from Limp Bizkit bought his daugher an antique music box for 3600 dollars, he showed the label, she may appreciate it later, but I doubt when she is 3 it is any good to her.

I do love the show however.

Redman's was good, he is totally ghetto.

Master P is out of control.... 3 million for the bedroom Yikes..

Redman's was crazy it totally fits his music style. I liked the guy from Outkast house too; seemed like place to hangout/party. Master P's was waaaaay too gwaudy and tacky. He spent 3 million on his bedroom but it still looked like shyt IMHO but if that what floats his boat...

I watch the show once in a while. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

I admit I watch it when it's on, too.
Twiggy's (from Marilyn Manson) house was hilarious espeically with his live in guru and blow up pool/spa.
Jayson Williams had an awesome house. And his tractors were cool, too.

Did you see how big that horse was, Jayson is 6'10 and the horse a clydesdale looked at least 4-6 inches taller, and it weighed in at 2400lbs. Yikes....

What are you doing looking at the horse's naughty parts?

The rappers know how to decorate. I would not mind staying there. The rockers OTOH don't. Some of them look like they live in the "Brady's" home.

All the male rappers have a bottle of gold wrapped champagne in their fridge. I couldn't make out the brand though.

I criticize the rappers for having gaudy, trashy homes which reek of new money and no class, but then I should know...I live ten minutes from Graceland.

It's Kristal. Which retails at about 180/bottle in SF, as opposed to Dom Perignon at 130 ish... depending on year.

Missy Misdemeanor has one of the best cribs I've seen on the show. Babyface also has a nice little crib. I'm all for the beige.

Thanks. We've all heard of Dom "P" but not Kristal. Must be every "playa's bubbly."

And here is the store I mentioned earlier...

This or it's equivalent in Atlanta is where all rappers must shop.

The one thing I noticed with a lot of the rappers, is that they do live in places like atlanta where I am sure 500K gets you a lot of a house.

I think it was Missy Elliot's house that had this particular piece..

Yeah. That's the table. Didn't care too much for the table but everything else was pretty elegant.

I believe Master P's home is near New Orleans.

looks like I spelled it wrong
Cristal...

And this particular bottle a 94 costs 376.99


I do think of the rappers homes I have seen I would choose babyfaces...

Thanks.

Although to be more accurate, Babyface is more R&B since he doesn't rap. But all the rappers and R&B artists I've seen know how to "live it up" as they say. For example, Ice "T" had the sliding roof for his pool.

Indeed Ice-t did have the roof, and I accept the R&B babyface..
I am looking forward now to russell simmons place.

I imagine it will be whack and there will be lots of bling bling.

I like bling bling. What was the rapper's term for living room? I've got to remember that one.

And I am interested in Mariah's crib. Although it probably can't top the mansion she lived in with Tommy Mottola.
