MTV Reality show From G's To Gents is thank the stars coming back for a second season. Created by Acadamy Award winner turned full time crotch cupper Jamie Foxx and hosted by Diddy's former umbrella caddy, Fonzworth Bentley, the show aims to turn gangstas into 19th Centuary British dandies. If Lupe Fiasco's jodhpurs at the VMAs were any indication, apparently that's what's big in hip hop right now (someone should have told Kenley on Project Runway last night).

All the "thugs" in the area who are still stuck in Ja Rule era over sized tees and gold grills, and are looking to step their game up to a Chuck Bass level will be pleased to know MTV is casting locally for the second season. Anyone interested should send their name, phone number, current photos, and a short bio explaining your need for change to [email protected]. More info can be found here.

If you're not familiar with the show, allow The Soup to give you a bit of a crash course in the clip after jump.
