The Hills + A Hint Of Hood = Baldwin Hills

Baldwin Hills is back and better than ever. With a brand new set of cast members that includes Aunjel & Lor'Rena a.k.a The Ghetto Twins, Jonathan The All American, Justin The Pretty Boy Bad Boy who has turned his life around and Seiko the blackanese girl with the sick scarf swag peep episode 1 if you don't know. We can't forget our favorites from last season; Gerren the "mini- Naomi", Ashley better known as Ms. Spelman, Moriah the quote on quote playboy, Sal who use to hold the bad boy title and of course Stacie,every one's favorite hood/glam girl. Baldwin Hills is back and definitely sizzling. I feel that this season the characters are a bit more cohesive. Last year they were trying to figure out how to adapt to being black socialites but, this time around they have a better grasp on being F-A-B! Some friends and I were watching the first episode and they felt it was mediocre. BET could have came a bit harder with the first episode and made it an hour long instead of 30 minutes. After last season Baldwin Hills has to have a slight fan base where they should have been allowed an hour. I also felt like they spent alot of time talking about Jonathan and Kirk Franklin (tell me if i wasn't the only one who found it weird he was on the show after the whole porno thingy)! My friends and I discussed how The Hills compares to Baldwin Hills. I, personally like Baldwin Hills better because as an African American male of a middle class family there are certain topics & issues brought up that I can fully relate to in comparison to The Hills. I've watched The Hills and this is definitely no shade but there was never nothing that I could relate to. Now, The Intellect on the other hand she goes up for Lauren & Audrina which is understandable as a FAB black socialite. But, as a fashion conscious black male who loves different aspects of media I wish there were more interesting topics, besides who Brody is talking to this week. But, nonetheless both "Baldwin Hills" & "The Hills" gives both middle/upper class Black and White families the opportunity to see our generation in a different light besides the usual smoking and excessive drinking. In a time period where everything is switching from what use to be sitcom era to reality TV frenzy these are two shows that are on DEFINITELY on the rise.
