Lil' C
Another night just watching TV and "So You Think You Can Dance?" comes on and Lil' C is a judge. Now as a part of my mentoring program im in on campus, FAM For Change, we watched a movie with the kids about "crumping" and Lil' C was an original pioneer in the dance style. Well as a judge on the show, he is very articulate and intelligent. However, I feel like it is almost like he was acting. In the film, which was made well before his role on the show, he was still articulate but there was this rawness to him. Now he comes across as the buttoned down exec. I don't know if it's just a natural maturity but I feel he is either being asked to come across a different way or is doing it to appease the "bosses." Interesting to see real people portray themselves.

That is a very interesting thought. He is always using VERY big words, and during a show last season they even did a little montage in tribute to those words. I never really saw it as an act, but I've also never seen him anywhere except for this show. It would make sense though, because if he is the pioneer of this dance style that makes him an expert in a field that probably really wouldn't have one except for the person who started it. If he spoke with a lot of slang people may not take him seriously.
