stumbled across this just being high on the internet... interesting if true, I guess at that time they weren't allowed to play any newly released music from these dudes because they "didn't appeal to their demographic"

Smells like bullshit.

I can see them not playing these artists as the bulk of their music doesn't appeal to the main demographic, but I don't think anyone at BET went out of their way to ban any and all content from these artists. Most of them just don't make music that is commercial.
