Holland in da Hood was a Dutch reality competition, broadcasted by RTL 5 in 2011, about eight aspiring rappers trying to make it in the hood of South Central in Los Angeles.The show, which spanned six episodes in total, revolved around G-low, Kinkelkid, MC Biggah, Jimsky, Dymanite, P2 (or Pol), Lee-yo and Otie, who left their various hometowns behind to make it big in Los Angeles. Every episode, the rappers were tested on (at least) one of the crucial skills any rapper needs to have (MC'ing, dance moves, hosting a block party), with a record deal with Def Jam Recordings on the line for the rapper who made the best impression on record executive (Max Grousse) in the final episode. With all this aspiring talent, a record deal and hosting by Willie Wartaal,note well-known from De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig this show couldn't possibly be bad, right?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Well... This show could've been a serious reality competition, if it was ever intended to be serious in the first place. Instead, it became one of the most hilarious examples of a Point-and-Laugh Show on Dutch television in the early 10's. The eight rappers (most of whom hailed from small, rural villages) were, bar a few, straight examples of the Pretty Fly for a White Guy trope (with some of them even dressing themselves like the guy from The Offspring video). Furthermore, the network (quite intentionally) framed the show as a parody on both hiphop culture and reality competitions, despite telling the contestants they were going for a serious show about the scene. As a result, the show quickly became one of the most hilarious examples of bad press for the hiphop scene in the Netherlands, with most of its contestants becoming a bit of a laughing stock. Willie Wartaal, who saw where this show was heading rather early on, left after only two episodes over creative differences. In the end, Lee-yo won the show and the record deal (not that many viewers cared about that by then). The show, nevertheless, caused quite an uproar in the Dutch hiphop scene, who even started a petition against the show called "Respect HipHop". Due to the show's nature (and it being an Old Shame for most of the people involved), it has never been re-ran on Dutch television or posted in full online. Nevertheless, several fragments of the show (including the show's promo) can still be found on Youtube.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Holland In Da Hood / int_2a321a1f | comment |
A Date with Rosie Palms: Is discussed by the rappers in front of the confession cam upon their arrival in the hood (most of them even use the slang term "pagga slaan" for it). Some of the rappers, however, don't understand the slang term and think it refers to something else entirely. | |

Battle Rapping: This was one of the challenges the rappers had to go through in episode 2. Some took better to it than others. | |

Basement-Dweller: Most of the rappers on this show still lived with their parents and were rather straight examples of this trope. This should fill you in on the level of street cred they started out with. | |
