Lil Mama is resident judge on MTV’s hit show, Americas Best Dance Crew, working on a single with Snoop Dogg and just finished up her music video for “Doughboy.”
Tell me about your judging gig on America’s Best Dance Crew this is Season 6, right? I am one of the pioneers of America’s Best Dance Crew. I have been with the show since season one and was invited to be a part of that project by Randy Jackson himself and one of the creators of the show. Do you ever feel bad having to send a crew home? They are all trying so hard and you have to let one of them go each week. Yeah, a lot of times I’m disappointed in America- well America’s voters of the show, because they vote for the crews week by week and whoever lands at the bottom is obviously the crew with the least votes. I am very shocked sometimes by who they vote for and when it comes down to us to save a crew, its tough because at the same time you have to send someone home. You’re never afraid to speak your mind and even fight a little with the other judges on the show- is that just you showing your personality or do the producers push you a little to be assertive like the “Simon” of American Idol? I don’t think that our show is anything like or trying to be like any other show because we’re our show, it’s not Lil Mama as another artist. I’m not playing a part it’s not an acting gig- it’s my actual personality so you always get me on the show. I have taken a ride on the show. I been on it since I was 15 and my personality has changed a lot and in a nutshell it’s pretty much what you see is what you get.
