The Real World Gets Gully…Sorta

The powers that be at Viacom have green lit the 21st season of The Real World. Sounds like great news until I read the city where it’s being filmed. Yep, folks, it’s BK, home of Biggie and Jay. It’s not that Brooklyn isn’t a good fit for the pioneering reality series but it’s that I have a feeling MTV is not going to show the real BK where real Brooklynites live. My guess is that Williamsburg is on top of the list where New Yorkers who were born in New Hampshire and Kansas will be their neighbors.

If they really wanted to stay true to their title they’d take a page from Chappelle and keep it mad real. Imagine one Latino from Cali, one Latina from Miami, a black guy from ATL, a black girl from the Chi, a white girl from Kansas, an Italian dude from the Hurst and an Asian cat for good balance. They’d all shack up in Bushwick—the real one where Omar lives—and be given the same jobs the locals have (bodegueros, Foot Locker employees, etc.) That would be real…mad real. Will MTV stay true to BK? What do y’all think?

Uno,

Jesus

You know I basically live in BK now, so I'm all over that. I'm on a mission to find them this summer and crash one of their parties. If one of the female roomates is cute, I may make a cameo next season. "Carl, is this Haitian guy I met in a bar. He's so silly!" Chuch!

LMAO @ Foot Locker employees. But I'm saying, those discounts came in handy.
