Eminem is overrated but if I had to make a choice between him and MGK, I reluctantly choose Eminem.

Fresh Prince.. uncle Phil with his wisdom and his love for family is unparalleled. Aldo James Avery is so funny.
Hyde.

Both have their own space in the television hall of fame, but I'm more of a Fresh Prince fan.

No. It teaches other people having spoiled rotten entitled behavior can still reward you.

Literally took the words from my fingers. I was just about to post something similar lol

to reiterate what Nu responded it teaches nothing of value except that entitled and spoiled behavior is rewarded.

That's a blast from the past. I haven't thought about that show in nearly a decade. I'd probably agree with the folks who commented above me though I'm sure at least some of the behavior is played up for the cameras. I think more than anything, it glorifies this idea of a sixteenth birthday being something super special where you have to give your kid a brand new car. It's not. I just got strawberries for my birthday and I was perfectly happy.

It's reality TV. The drama is engineered to be heightened for the cameras or often as scripted as regular television drama. The fact it's sold to the network, production crews, and generaal consumers as "reality" means it's often got less expectations per the format. While My Super Sweet Sixteen started in 2005, a lot of reality TV dramas were spun up during the 2008 Writer's Strike on the basis that you can write these shows without professional writers. You just slap volatile elements together - or what you hope are volatile elements - and tease and manipulate them so they blow up for the camera. Or everyone on-film understands they're there to stir shit up.

Is it true that people who represent something are often looking for validation based on being from a place?

I mean... depends on what your definition of "often" is I guess. I'm sure there's plenty who are, but I definitely don't think that's a rule. Particularly because you are representing / claim to be representing is more often than not not tied to a place.
chaotic cat cutie
Self pity is the worst enemy -Helen K
Absolutely
When someone is being an ambassador or representing something I would think validation is a big part of it.
A validation that what you believe in or representing is the right fit for your personal morals.
It can be very difficult to represent something you don't fully believe in or can not be validated by others.
(especially those you respect and trust)
____________________________
Though to add you have to clarify what you mean by " being from a place."
This isn't specific enough and so I just translate it into the simplest terms. Representative is often used in business.

I think there's overlap between genuine joy for their origins and just wanting to be accepted by their peers, but there's no shame in that either.

I've eaten some, but never all. Forget getting in trouble, I think if I had even tried it I'd have to be hospitalized.
