The title of this show is quite misleading. 'Growing up' generally denotes maturing, moving past childish outbursts, learning to speak with a modicum of clarity and intelligence and truly becoming an adult. It takes only one viewing of this show to realize that this show truly ought to be titled "Aging Hip Hop" as in actual fact that is what is depicted, a group of individuals who may well be 'aging hip hop' but are most certainly NOT 'growing up', in any commonly understood sense of the word. Fighting, screaming at each other, using profanity to excess, it's obvious that their cultural and intellectual growth came to a screaming halt when they achieved a chronological age of somewhere around 8 and no more than 12 years of age. As another reviewer stated, they truly 'dumb down society'.
