MTV's Buzzin' Amber Alert

POSTED BY Max Powers | FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 AT 8:30 PDT 
TV Show Title: 
Buzzin'

I’ve been writing recaps of the show Buzzin’ for the past month. Then one week it just didn’t show up on The MTV. The last episode that aired didn’t seem like any sort of finale. I called the Hollywood police to file a missing show report, but they didn’t seem to understand what I meant.

So I did a little digging around online and this was the first story that I came across, courtesy of the Texas Monitor, centered in McAllen Texas.

Nominate your favorite local artist who you think would be a sure fit for this line-up. Then…staffers will choose six acts who will go head-to-head at Cine El Rey in a showcase to decide who will open for Shwayze!

Wow. Schwayze is playing in McAllen, Texas. And they don’t have an opening act so they’re having people suggest local bands on the comments page of a newspaper. For the sake of background, McAllen, Texas is a town that is phenomenally boring. My parents made me go visit my grandmother there all throughout my wasted childhood. The most exciting thing was going to the Embassy Suites.  So I guess it's good that there are local bands vying to open for Schwayze. Of course, they all have Myspace pages. Here's some of the competition.

In Case of Emergency- And I quote, “We are all truly excited on what God has planned for this band, and we all feel that we all have a purpose through this band to go big, hopefully.” Yeah, that Christian Rock should go over great with Cisco Adler. And his balls.

Lunch- Third place, battle of the bands.

Breakfast Pizza- Yes, they wrap about breakfast, including Hollandaise sauce.

Neptones- The only Ska band in a 400 mile radius.

My plan was to rip on them, but then I realized that each of the bands was really just a bunch of youths trying to live out their rock’n roll dreams. So may the best man-boys win. And in the meantime, someone let me know if they spot Buzzin’ chained up in some creepy dude's basement.

Here's the story from The Monitor

    September 6th, 2008 at 02:16 am Unlike other people who write comments bout themselves,my name is John Segura and im from weslaco tx,at the moment going to college in San Antonio,i think you should pick an act from the valley's underground scene,like CRITICAL LYRICS,they got some good stuff,seen them dudes here in SAn Antone holding it down for the valley at a place called the "Underground Spot".I think these dudes are a good choice for your pick JD

    September 6th, 2008 at 07:30 pm man, wtf is going on here? , are u sh**ing me?, Where's Hazurd Kounty's recognition on this page??? They are an actual rap/hip hop group, How are u gonna have sum punks with instruments open up 4 Schwayze (a lyracist) and Tyga (a lyracist from Compton)??? Dude , the crowd wants to get hype and crunk 4 an opening act , not a headache from banging metal before the show even starts. I aint tryin to diss ya'll rockerz or anything but know ur role. This is the reason why the 956 is not respected, how are u gonna take a group like "Breakfast pizza", seriously,? fkn disgraces,our representation ot the Valley sux!!! It's tyme 4 some fresh talent, Hazurd Kounty all the way baby, and if anyone thinks different, get ya head otta ya a** -Mc- Townz pride

    September 9th, 2008 at 07:18 pm Been LISTENING to your talents. You ALL got talent, but some of you seem to do RAPPING as a "hobby" or for "attention". That's OK, but, hasn't if crossed your mind that this competition COULD be an opportunity for one of YOU to "make it big". You all know that the RGV hasn't gotton the RESPECT and RECOGNITION that it deserves. For those of you that want to compete for the "15 MINUTES OF FAME", that's all your sure to get. For those of you who are "SERIOUS" rappers, my respect and support to you!!! Instead of trying to bring each other "down", you all need to "SHOW AND GIVE" support to each other. Doesn't matter if you're "MEN or BOIZ". MAY THE BEST RAPPER WIN!!!!!
