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).

A severely underrated one is Ying Yang Twins, who rented a house that looked absolutely nothing like anything two young rappers would live in and hilariously clowned on the pretense the entire time.
Redman is an honest dude. What a legend.
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.

It sounds weird to us now, since we take for granted that we are able to basically "chat" with celebrieties on Twitter and stuff. But back in the day, we knew celebrities only from movies and music videos. 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.

I feel like record labels probably had some part in this. They didn't want people to see how much they were ripping off these musicians. It probably helped trick new people into contracts and keep the cycle going.

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.
Fun fact, I was on set for the filming of the episode with Mario(R&B Singer from Baltimore….not Sisquo lol). His “Crib” was a model unit at Silo Point here in Baltimore. 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.
Redman had the greatest episode ever! The realist guy in the game.

Red man’s episode was the best - especially looking back. It was honest and humble, and in this day and age of fact checking and being able to check someone’s story? Those were the best.
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.

I remember watching red man’s episode as a kid and being too tears. Watching his segment in the vid brought those same feeling back. His episode in my opinion aged the best. I been going back and revisiting 2000s reality TV like True life and Pimp my ride. Honestly red man’s mtv crib tour and ODB’s limo segment of him and his children getting food stamps is probably some of the best early IRL moments on TV. Love the vid, very well done and nostalgic af haha

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.

I miss the early 00s so much. Just a simpler time. MTV was must watch television at those times. I remember watching The Real World and thinking "Wow that's what being an adult is like". 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. I vaguely remember a Cash Money episode with Birdman and Lil Wayne that I loved. Trick Daddy had one where I think his girlfriend or something was frying chicken in the kitchen lol
I can remember being a kid watching Cribs regularly believing it 100% hook line and sinker
Ying Yang Twins will forever be my favorite episode. "First room you're gonna SEE is the SEA ROOM! This didn't take no wo-man. It took us men!" So many great quotes.

It seemed to me that some of those houses were too expensive for some of the celebrities on "Cribs".

@@MediaPastimes Right? I think they had rented it out to record in & then just stayed to do CRIBS.
Man, you just gotta love the old days of MTV.
I think its great how Redman endeared himself to a plethora of kids/teens by just being himself and showing off his true home, not some rented place. Id say his episode is the most remembered and discussed to this day; i know its my favorite episode.
In Consumerist, Consumption Heavy 1980’s, Lifestyles of the R & F was KING! Showed audiences what REAL Wealth looks like - giving an incredibly rare look at “how the other half lives.”

I loved that show.
Wait, wasn't Prestige the same company Bowwow took the picture from of the car and private jet, insinuating that he was traveling in them? Then someone saw him in coach at the exact same time he posted the photo?
love this video
I liked this episode a lot, it showed good cribs episodes. I even liked all the segments you showed. I guess I like you as a content creator so ima sub

Another great video, man! Did you ever see the Ricky Gervais Cribs parody? I think it was an extra on the Invention of lying DVD. I seem to recall it being pretty funny, but my brain could just be bullshitting me I dunno 🤷

There were so. many. parodies... I legit had to scroll past like, dozens of them while searching out clips for this. But I haven't seen that one, although Ricky Gervais does rock 🤙
The only REAL episode of MTV Cribs was Tommy Tallarico’s! His mother is very proud of him. Another awesome video, love it when you upload.

@@ju5t1ce33 I dunno, the camera crew must be making so much noise I honestly doubt that his cousin was actually sleeping during the tour and recording. But it's probably one of the more honest tours I guess.
Nice video man
Seeing all the old tech is amazing.
My favorite is still the Jackass one. Turns out the Chris Pontius living in his car was real since he didn't move into a house until he had a family in 2010s.
who the hell is still watching MTV??
I still remember mid 90s to late 90s and really early 2000s watching music videos none stop late night or really early in the morning the good old days and in the 90s watching beavis n butthead roast music videos lol those were the days best days that we will never come close to getting back I’ll never forget beavis n butthead watching smells like teen spirit when it’s starting they see the janitor and butthead says “beavis’s dad” lol
A brilliant idea for a video. Thanks.
Whenever people clown social media "influencers" for fakery, I point out how celebrities do the same
I wasn't expecting to feel sorry for some of these celebs, but some had giant empty mansions that looked like an art museum. It didn't seem like anyone actually enjoyed life there.
I am glad that ,I am 41 and mtv and bet were cold asf joe!Such great cable tv from the 80's,90's and early 2000's...
This is making me feel super old.
Redman showing us around his crack den was the greatest episode, hands down 😂

I dont think it looked THAT bad, just looked like a normal home/studio
I remember when there was this massive campaign for cable providers to carry MTV. There were all these musicians saying I want my MTV, only for it to be turned into RTV (Reality TV) 😂
I’ll never forget how Lil John made sure everyone knew that he had the exact same rug in his bedroom as Usher. And that one guy who showed off his Crystal Light
Theyll have a spin off. "KZreadrs cribs" heres media pastimes crib. Rents 17 cars and is like "i uh actually dont own any of these so we just gonna skip to the next part if the house"

AMERICAN MOVIE !!! I live close to Milwaukee now and it’s so cool to check those spots out from the documentary :) this was so rad, thanks for making such rad content !!! makes me nostalgic for when I’d bug my neighbor to show me cool shit as a kid when he was watching jackass and samurai champloo listening to slipknot and System of a Down haha
I loved him. I need to revisit some of these movies
