Hip Hop culture has become all pervasive in American society. From clothing, to cell phones, and oh yeah ? the music, Hip Hop culture is arguably the single most influential force on America's youth today.
I have been asking for two years when the Hip Hop culture was going to pick up on poker. The fit seems so natural ? putting it all on the line, and trying to get the money ? truisms at least to an extent in both Hip Hop culture, and the poker world.
According to AllHipHop.com,The concept is a tried and true one, with several twists that might make it more interesting to the hip hop crowd. Five celebrities from the worlds of sport, movies, music and TV play poker, with the proceeds going to charity. Where this formula gets a twist however, is the show will also include a tour of some of the players homes, ala MTV Cribs, and each show ends with a performance by an up and coming hip hop artist.
Tone Boots, Executive Producer of Premo Pictures says ?Over 60 million Americans play poker at least once a month, and a growing amount of young adults are driving this new trend?We believe that fusing poker with the elements of celebrity lifestyles and music will bring our viewers a fresh spin on the poker phenomenon.?
Has anyone actually watched this show... Damn Just yeah... Damn. Most poorly played Texas Hold'em tournament, Part of the fun of poker is the fact that each decision matters, and there is so much information available. 15 seconds is not enough to watch these hipter players think, act, read other players. It has to be the worst poker show to date.
