newsflash famb...If that happens then what can he do about it? Nothing.. no point worrying about every hypothetical situation.
And that's not the type of person you'd wanna be working for anyways.
i hope they show him spray painting his hair line in atleast one episode
solid post..I just finished watching the pilot and I won't even go into anything negetive about Shawty Lo or this pilot,for the simple fact that I see that he's trying to get a check.Kudos,to him, because just look at what's actually on television now a days, it fits perfectly somewhere in between 'Maury Povich', 'Atlanta House wives' the rest of the ******** that's on television.
Think about it like this,the white version of Shawty-Lo's show would be the TLC show 'Sister Wives',the fact that their risking actually being arrested for the sake of a check(gotta all of those kid's)and for peoples entertainment,is within itself but it works.
I see that some of you are,conversating back and forth about the negative connotation a show like this has on blacks overall;My responce to that is,the damage is already done and there's no simple solution to fix it.You'er wasting your time if you believe that by working harder to fight against those stereo-types will change how some view blacks as a whole or anything remotely similar.Television is such a powerful tool now,so powerful that the lines between what's good & bad,reality & entertainment and uncersored & cersored is so thin that people don't care to notice or they just don't care because they wan't a certain kind of entertainment and after that,they demand another one that is more over-the-top than the first one.You have to chalk-it-up to this:If someone is so simple-minded to beleive that the reality show's that they watch are anything,represent anything other than entertainment,that's someone you probably should be associating yourself with anyways.
The funny thing that I've noticed is that the term "Baby Momma/Daddy" is something that is now acceptible across color and ethnic lines.You hear the term being used by everyone,on television show's,in the street's,and even in the courtroom.And even if someone say's it in a contemptuous manner,it's just the fact that their saying it.This is years after the song by B-Rock and the Bizz-Baby Daddy,"Who dat iiis?jus my baby daddy"(thanks to utube).....things always change.lol
in the dining room of his massive home in suburban Atlanta. If we can't even give this chance, then what can we give a chance?
Are you typing this as you stare out of you corner office at Black Ice?I acknowledge both sides of the "issue", but in the end I think canceling the show was unfair to the parties directly involved with its creation, most notably Shawty Lo and his family. After all, is this not tantamount to taking food off another man's table, and out of his children's mouths?
The naysayers would have you believe that this is "about the kids", about "protecting them from ridicule" and what not, but that's bullcrap. This is grand example of the reactionary complex stemming from the "this-makes-black-people-look-bad" sensitivity complex. That's what it's really about. And while I can understand it, I can't really forgive the petitioners for their selfishness. In certain instances, being minorities, the betterment of the majority definitely outweighs the betterment of the minority, but not in this particular case.
If Shawty Lo and his baby mommas want to show America the inner workings of their complex family, who are we to say otherwise? It's not like the producers and creators of this show fabricated this family out of thin air to foster and exploit certain held stereotypes about black men and women. No. This family already existed. All the creators did was to give them an opportunity to present their case to America--a case that may very well have offered something different from stereotypical expectations. And based on that 13 minute trailer, I think that was very possible. Sure, we are witness to expectedly tense moments between some of the mothers, I chuck that up to maternal instincts and nothing more, but equally as important is the fact that most if not all of the women got along. They helped each other, and their children acknowledged each other amicably. Even Lo came across as a caring father, aside from that one instance where he forgets the names of a few of his children...
No ratchet fighting, no police drama, no battling for child support payments--nothing. Just a dude enjoying his pasta dinner with his numerous kids, and their mothers, in the dining room of his massive home in suburban Atlanta. If we can't even give this chance, then what can we give a chance?

Shawty Lo Starts Petition To Save Oxygen Reality Show "All My Babies' Mamas"
After Oxygen halted production on Shawty Lo's controversial reality show "All My Babies' Mamas," the rapper has responded by creating a petition to get the series on the air.
According to RumorFix, the Southern rapper's rep Kali Bowyer says that they're going to fight back. Bowyer explains that they've received more than 123,000 emails to their Atlanta, Georgia offices wanting to save the show, and have started a petition of their own that has 153 supporters as of press time.
The show initially came under fire with a petition that amassed almost 40,000 signatures. Oxygen released a statement yesterday announcing plans to shelve the show.
