No because they were babyfaces. It also JUST caught the hype of gangsta rap so it wasn’t tacky. I remember when they debuted they were over as fuck no one gave a shit about the implications of straight up black criminals shucking and jobing on a wrestling show. RIP JTG

No. They hired black people to play a black role because representation matters.

WWE put out a statement before they even debuted lmao:

>Tonight a new tag team, Cryme Tyme, will be introduced to the Raw audience. In an effort to humor and entertain our fans the tag team known as Cryme Tyme will be parodying racial stereotypes.
>Shad Gaspard and JTG do outlandish, outrageous "stunts" to ready themselves for tag team action on Raw. This attempt at Saturday Night Live like humor is bound to entertain audiences of all ethnic derivations.
>We hope you enjoy the weekly adventures of Cryme Tyme.

this. They were just a ripoff of what 50 Cent & Co were doing in the hip hop scene. It was a culturally in tune gimmick which begs the question just wtf it was doing on WWE tv
