Chrissy's Court Season 1 Episode 1 C-Rap Music

  • April 6, 2020

Chrissy's Court is an American reality television series that premiered on Quibi on April 6, 2020, featuring supermodel and entrepreneur Chrissy Teigen as the judge of small claims court disputes. The first episode of the series is titled "C-Rap Music" and follows a case of a rising music producer who claims that his collaborator and friend owes him 10% of the royalties on a hit song they co-wrote and produced.

The episode opens with a brief introduction to the show and its host, Chrissy Teigen, who is a model, cookbook author, and television personality. Chrissy explains that she will be presiding over small claims cases that involve disputes between friends, family members, and business partners. She admits that she has no legal training or expertise, but she is determined to bring her own unique brand of humor and common sense to the courtroom.

The first case of the series revolves around a music producer named Vince who claims that his former collaborator and friend, Dom, owes him 10% of the royalties from a hit song they made together. Vince tells Chrissy that he met Dom at a party a few years ago, and they started working together on music. They co-wrote and produced a song called "Brooklyn Boy" that became a hit, and since then, Dom has been collecting all the royalties without giving Vince his fair share.

Chrissy asks Vince why he thinks he deserves 10% of the royalties, and Vince explains that he contributed substantially to the creation and production of the song. He says that he came up with the beat, the chorus, and the melody, and he recorded the vocals and mixed the track. He also shows Chrissy some old text messages where Dom agreed to give him 10% of the royalties.

In response, Dom tells Chrissy that Vince is lying and that he never promised him any percentage of the royalties. He claims that he wrote the entire song himself, including the lyrics, and that Vince only helped with the beat and the production. He also says that he paid Vince for his services as a producer and that he doesn't owe him anything more.

Chrissy listens to both sides of the argument and then asks them some questions to clarify the situation. She asks Vince if he has any proof that he wrote the song or that he deserves 10% of the royalties, and Vince admits that he doesn't have much evidence besides his own testimony and some text messages. She also asks Dom if he can prove that he wrote the song by himself or if he owes Vince any more money than what he already paid him, and Dom says that he doesn't have any documents or contracts to back up his claims.

After hearing all the evidence and arguments, Chrissy makes her ruling. She decides that Vince deserves to receive 5% of the royalties from "Brooklyn Boy" because he made a significant contribution to the song's creation and production, but he didn't write the lyrics or come up with the entire melody. She also orders Dom to pay Vince the full amount of the royalties that he is owed up until now, which amounts to $25,000.

Overall, the first episode of Chrissy's Court is a fun and engaging introduction to the show's format and style. Chrissy's witty and personable demeanor makes for an entertaining and watchable host, and the case itself is interesting and relatable to anyone who has ever worked with friends or collaborators on a creative project. The show's production values are high, with sleek graphics, flashy animations, and a peppy soundtrack that keeps the energy level up. Fans of courtroom dramas and reality TV shows alike are sure to find something to enjoy in this unique and entertaining series.
