WE tv orders Empire-type docuseries about rappers’ spoiled kids

Prompted in part by the success of Empir—and because people really like trashy celebrity TV—WE tv has ordered a six-part series about the children of famous rappers. Growing Up Hip-Hop will follow six different hip-hop progenies who are, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “challenged with maintaining their own identity while evolving the hip-hop sound and culture they came from.” They are all also crazy rich.
