There's nothing wrong with a kid wanting to be an MC and rhyme, or make music. It's the fact that MTV has created such a superficial image.
That said, as much as I hate it and the other American Idol-esque programmes, I'm glad they are around. They keep the stupid people away from tainting the good stuff.
I'll encourage an idiot to go watch MTV before I send them in the direction of a good album.
