The youth of America have gotten used to getting a certain amount of social commentary from rappers like T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne and Ne-Yo over the past few years. Now they’re going to hear it from a different source – their mothers.
“Dinner Table Discussions” is a new show that features Aliyah “Mama Pain” Najm (T-Pain’s mother), Jacida Carter (Lil’ Wayne’s mother) and H. Loraine Smith (Ne-Yo’s mother), according to AllHipHop.com.
The moms say the goal of the show is to enhance viewers lives “educationally, economically, socially and culturally” with discussions of current events and important topics, interviews and feature segments.
(Sounds like “The View” without the annoying presence of Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck.)
“Our vision is to be a premier talk show that delivers a creative and informative format that assists viewers in educating and solving challenging issues,” Najm told AllHipHop.com.
“There are situations in our communities, cities, states and even nationwide that people have made us aware of and they want to resolve the issues, but they just don’t know where to get help or how to properly handle certain issues.”
The new show is set for a 2010 launch.
