Unaired Game Show Footage Exposes Rapper Tyga?
Back in 2008, YMCMB rapper, Tyga, was a guest on a corny MTV game show that was fortunately never picked up. According to TMZ, the show titled, Bustas had wannabe-rappers compete against each other in games such as, Guess the Rapper By His Grill, and Is This a Real Rolex? to see who can embody rap stereotypes the best.
Today, the unaired footage has made it’s way online, and now Tyga’s whole career is being called into question. Not only has Tyga been lying about being from the hard streets of Compton, CA, but he admits on camera that he had a privileged upbringing in the Valley suburbs.
In the video, the contestants are asked to freestyle and incorporate buzz words like amoeba into their raps. Tyga (who mispronounces the word) gets boo’d off the stage.

lol, his freestyling
I dont even care for the dude like that but I'm stunned that this is an "issue" on the boards and blogs I go to the past couple of days
It's hardly a new thing, just look at Rick Ross, Tupac, Slick Rick...it's OLD.
Even rappers that were 'hood' or w/e exaggerate and embellish, it's part of making music.
Not just in rap, look at Lana Del Rey and that fake ass baby prostitute/alcoholic story of hers.
I think the only time people should be called out is if they forget they are faking e.g. Drake or they deny the truth
i remember when he tried so hard to be around that scene though
i guess this is an acceptable enough substitute
i knew he was fake from the start
Aren't there a few rappers out there who pretend to come from slum areas and/or not to have a formal education to get street cred ?
