Anyone who has anything to say, please do. But as for me, I'm black and i hate B.E.T. You know "Black Entertainment Television". It's horrible. To me it makes a mockery of everything that black people have worked so hard for by promoting ignorance and stupidity through the celebration of "music" and commercialized black culture. The "thug" mentality, the "ho" mentatlity, the money can do everything mentality and many other stereotypical issues although not started by B.E.T. are incoporated and incubated on this channel to grow and further hinder the intellectual growth of not just black people, but people in general. Not to mention, it's kind of ironic that, black people have struggled for at least two centuries to avoid special treatment yet, we have a channel that is specially dedicated to us. And not the whole view of us, not the well educated inventors, not the genius mathematicians, not the cultured diplomats or even the people that are making a substantial tribute to society but the ignorant poeple like Lil Jon who say "Yeah!" and "What!" in a song and it goes platinum. As much of a hip hop fan as I am, B.E.T. has to go.
I'm sorry, i'm a little mad, and probably a bit cliche, but come on people.

I see it and im white. ALOT of the white youth in high schools in Vancouver here are taking in the lifestyle, rich or poor, doesnt matter, alot of them seem to think that there thugs n . To each his own, but when they actually start talking black and calling each other "nigga" (no offence anyone) thats when its just ing pathetic. I could run down a list of countless kids Ive met at highschool who are complete fakes. They see that the big craze nowadays, is to be a thug, with all the bitches and cash...Its not just B.E.T., its MTV, Much Music, the ing radio, and most of all, todays mainstream rappers, hiphopers, thugs, all of them contribute to the whole scene somehow. Now before trance, I used to listen to ALOT of hiphop and i mean ALOT. I actually started embrassing the culture, the clothes, the music, everything, my life actually started going downhill. I actually fetl worse about my self then i ever have. Now its not the musics fault, just like a crackhead cant blame crack for where he is, its all about choice. But crack helps you go downhill, same with the music, it kinda guided me down the road. Who am I to compare hip hop culture to crack. But how can all these black people, in the mainstream hiphop, who dress the same, produce uncreative and unimaginative beats, that all sound the same. The lyrics are practicly the about all the same negative bull.
Wow Im black (or any race) and I have money, respect (actually respect from fear), lots of women, and Im signed to a premo record label. But now what....?
Are you going to spend your prescious life acting like something that your not, following others as they grow more aggressive (yes Ive found all the music does is pump me up, and make me feel agressive, thats what the whole point, i find, of the music anywas) yes in highschool you might make more friends and such, but what happens when your put of school? Usually kids drop the act and get on with there lifes, but the stupid ones keep it up and just completely lose themselfs in this bull. 1. Get a ing life. 2. Leave us who have lifes alone and stop picking fights (from experiance). 3. Stop pretending your something your not. 4. Cant't you make the music, without creating such negative thoughts and lifestyle influences, your bringing all the normal people with you. 5. How can these people make such music and get respect from it? The lyrics range form "nigga", to , to bitch to ho, to money to drugs to thugs to YEAH to What. Put those ingredients in, and your now a famous mainstream rapper with a nice house, and 100,000,000 loyal mainly youth-followers. Good luck..
just letting of some steam here, and if anyone takes offence of any words i used, they can PM me and bitch there |

| I agree with you twisted, and i can live with that because there some things u just can't change, crackheads are always gonna do crack and people are always gonna be ignorant. Yes it is the scene nowadays, but what makes me so mad is that B.E.T. claims to be for black people, it says to be made by our own, its supposedly trying to help us get places, and instead it just hold us down (in us i mean black people). It's is so obviously the sheep in wolf's clothing and yet people don't realize it. Many people talk about "The Man" holding us down, and then they go home and watch B.E.T. without realizing it's run by a white guy trying to make money. |

nomadanare, you may be on to something. perhaps less pimp daddies/macks and more ladies? i do realise it does not portray black culture as that well which is why they should change the name of the channel GET (Gangsta Entertainment Television)
But dont get me wrong, i enjoy a good booty shakin now and again; and BET is the place to go. :D my gf's mom thinks i'm weird that i watch that, yet she sits there and watches it with me lol. quality television right there. |
