03:18the follow-up would quickly be greenlit season two of making the band would be more of getting

03:24to know the winners of the competition on more of a personal level this would be how the music mogul

03:30knowingly ruined their careers the entire cast was moved into a townhouse in the heart of new york

03:36hip-hop fans finally were able to see behind the scenes prior to shows like making the band

03:44consumers just saw the finished product of what an artist attempted to portray

03:49the reality series would pull back the curtain for fans

03:53and allow viewers to see everyone in their most vulnerable state

03:58music would not be the primary focus instead the show would be more drama based

04:04while combs was showcased as a big shot and music genius often the cast on many occasions got the

04:12short end of the stick rule number one of reality tv keep the cameras rolling even though you think

04:19you're getting choked out he won't stop breathing we got all types of new technology to revive people

04:23these days keep the cameras rolling the audience watching at home witnessed all their highs and lows

04:29often music took a back seat to the roommates relationships with one another there were

04:36many arguments and even fist fights between them the spats were quite entertaining but didn't help

04:42their image at all comebs often subjected the artist to what may be considered public humiliation

04:56they were given odd and demeaning tasks like detailing and washing cars now i'm gonna send them to the car

05:02wash and you make them wash some cars for free all day maybe they'll appreciate hip-hop then

06:06members and he decided to dismantle the group he put through all the nonsense most of the members never

06:13fully recovered from the humiliation after the show ended they weren't taken serious among their peers
