TV BIT: 50 CENT’S NEW SHOW ON MTV
Thursday, October 16, 2008
50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) has teamed up with MTV for a new reality/contestant show.
In “50 Cent: The Money and the Power,” 50 Cent will share his lessons on how to make it to the top. The winner, the young man or woman whose ideas and drive make them worthy of 50’s support, receives a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent himself.
The contestants worked together while also living at “Camp Curtis,” a Brooklyn warehouse where they slept in tents named after the five boroughs of New York City. The 14 wannabe moguls, personally hand-picked by 50 Cent, compete in inventive challenges that 50 Cent helped to create, while mastering the skills that took the rapper from his hard-knock life to the top of corporate America. Each week, 50 Cent will narrow down his search by testing the candidates on the knowledge he has taught them while pushing them to their limit.
Viewers will be treated to special appearances by LL Cool J, Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane, Lloyd Banks and radio personality and blogger Miss Info. And since no business mogul can work alone, 50 Cent recruited his G-Unit label mate Tony Yayo to be his “Underboss” and right hand man. Yayo kept contestants in line for 50 Cent throughout series.
“50 CENT: THE MONEY AND THE POWER” IS SET TO AIR ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH AT 10PM ET/PT

What’s wrong with a brother expanding his empire?
Regardless of what many of us think of reality shows the brother is just making a living. (Mind you I don’t think much about him either)
I say as long as he is not out gang banging, doing drugs and being a menace to society..Do your thing bro’
Cut him some slack
More power to him man!

This is one reality show I will not be tuning into. I cannot stand 50 cent azz and as far as Tony Yayo (50’s *itch) ……whatever. 50 can be very ignorant, and in my eyes is worse than Diddy. I can tolerate Diddy. Good luck to the contestants anyhow. I’m sure alot of viewers will be tuning in because after all we don’t have enough reality shows already.

Just speechless…..then again, won’t be watching and personally, can’t understand why a GROWN man would act the way he does. No words for Tony Yayo…what does he do again? Exactly…nothing.

Like 90% of tv shows are reality shows….
And the majority of them involve men and women exploiting themselves.
@12 I wish Korto would have won too, but I must admit that Leanne’s work was purely artistic.

This concept kind of reminds me of that show Dame Dash had on BET. It sounds like a hood version of The Apprentice.

Adding to his weatlh while spreading it at the same time or at least the oppt’y because all a reality show contestant wants is exposure anyway and they are willing to exploit THEMSELVES by doing so…

What are you all tired of and what did 50 personally do to you guys? The idiotic notion that one man has a right to do something to make money, it Diddy (one of my favorites btw) and another doesnt. If he’s making money then let him do that. He’s spreading his wealth as well and you people are on here criticizing him for doing something positive. And they wonder why black progress is so limited. I bet if he had a ski mask on outside your house you would be the same people screaming, “Why can’t black people do something better with themselves other than stealing, killing and violence?” Yet he does just that and you continue to criticize. The black individual is never satisfied and that is a very sad case in this day and age with a possible black president on the horizon. Grow up. Please…for the sake of us all grow up.

I would love to watch his show…
I too was sad that Korto didn’t win.. I felt that her designs were on point and it something that I would wear. Leean designs was nice but the colors were a little boring.

and i hate that i just read korta didnt win.,….i tvoed the show so i havent seen it…..dammit i really didnt want to read that….i dont think a black person has won that show yet…and i feel in my heart that michael knight should of won when he was on there….just crazy
and we dont have to like fif or anything he does….just like some of ya’ll dont have to like other celebs and what they do…so get off it and stop always trying to make something more serious then it is…..there is nothing remotely serious about reality tv anyway….as much as i love reality tv for the record.

OMG you are really biting off of Diddy. Some body get him a towell to wipe off 50’s lips from Diddy’s a$$. Yeah say its about money but how Hollywood can your fake wankster self get and you were talking all that smack about other rappers not keeping it real. I think you are all fake’rs breeding that stereotype mess making it harder for people of color because you like sambooing it for the masses peddling that useless trash. I am so over it. U, Lil Wack-Job, T-Mess, T-Stupid all of them…ugh.
