The History and Fakery of MTV CRIBS | Looking Back

Ойын-сауық

In today's episode of Looking Back, we'll be discussing MTV Cribs. The long running series that gives viewers a firsthand look into the homes of various celebrities.
Cribs debuted its first episode on September 20th, 2000. The show aired during MTV's late-night block called the 10 spot. Created by Nina L. Diaz, Cribs showcased the homes of various celebrities, from actors, to musicians, to athletes. Homes ranged from the smallest of apartments to the biggest mansions imaginable. Cribs was an immediate success. The show had large scale specials dedicated to one celebrity or group, such as the Mariah Carey episode, 50 cent mansion tour, b2k edition, jackass edition, also spawning several spin-offs (Teen Cribs, CMT Cribs, Extreme Cribs). Several examples of fakery have surfaced, involving 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Jojo, Robbie Williams, 3LW, and Bow Wow (Lil Bow Wow).

    I remember listening to Howard Stern talking about Cribs years ago when it was still on the air, and he pointed out how anyone who knows anything about how the recording industry works knows that most artists start out owing their labels so much money that it takes at least three or four hit songs before they really start making real money for themselves. So there's no way these artists with only one hit song to their names could possibly afford massive mansions and fleets of super cars.

So watching someone famous going around their own personal kitchen like "Yo, this is where I eat my cereals" just felt unreal and cool af.

    We only had basic cable when it came out. I didn't get MTv until 1989 when I was 19. I used to watch it at my friends houses. By 1985 I could tell it was already going to an all modern pop format, which didn't appeal to me. When the original Headbangers Ball went off air, they lost all relevance. Basically, I was forced by my cable provider to have it as part of the expanded/full package I had.

So it wasn’t even a lived in or rented unit. None of the stuff in there was his either. Including the iPhone used to control the A/V system. There was also a rental Maserati. I know the 5 series BMW was his because I ran into him at a bar a few months later.

    Fun fact: mtv to this day still does the same thing, except now it's on their TV show "catfish." Majority of the people's "houses" they go to are actually rented out air BnB's. There's been multiple guests who have done AMA's on reddit that have admitted mtv rented a local air bnb and passed it off on the episode as belonging to the person on the episode. Presumably it's partially a safety thing as to not give away where the people actually live, and also they can rent a big enough house to fit the film crew inside comfortably plus the people on the show and the hosts

    There were more legitimate segments than just Redman, but a good 80-90% of the homes toured on CRIBS displayed something that was planted for the show. Problem is, a lot of those old episodes are long gone due to copyright issues. So many songs were used in the background of these episodes, and MTV doesn’t want to pay royalties to those artists.

    This video was great. Admittedly, I haven't seen an episode of 'Cribs' in at least 16-17 years. Even then, I knew that some of the celebrity homes/cars, etc. had to be a set-up. Anyway, thanks for highlighting some of the more egregious segments. I got a HUGE laugh out of both Sum41's and Red Man's cribs...downright hilarious (the random cousin sleeping on the floor was gold).

    I always thought those mansions looked fake. Like how someone would stage a house to be sold-not like someone actually living in it. I figured that they would clean up before MTV cameras got there. The Marylin Manson episode made me suspect that it was a rental home due to how ordinary it looked for Marylin Manson-and the cheap Halloween Store spooky stuff there was.

My favorite part of Cribs were the cars. If you read DuPont Registry back in those days, it was like watching that magazine on a CRT TV Screen.

    It seemed to me that some of those houses were too expensive for some of the celebrities on "Cribs". People with one hit song or a recurring role on a sit com had mansions with stables sitting on huge plots of land and a garage with five luxury cars. It was questionable even then so this makes a lot of sense.
