The Ultimate Hustler: Amateur Photo Shoot
Today marks the first Talkin Videos entry devoted to Damon Dash and The Negro Channel's shameless attempt at ripping off "The Apprentice."
If you don't know already "The Ultimate Hustler" is a reality show in which contestants compete for a Jeep, "respeck" (yeah, right), and a spot on Dame's nuts closer than anyone not named Rachel Roy.
