here is what I wrote:
Hello,
I am an avid hip hop fan and respect BET for playing some of the "real" artists that are still around these days. However, I am disgusted to find a list of artists that are banned. Why would BET ban an artist? Little Brother's new video was referred to as being to "intelligent". Yet, you can have videos played such as Webbie's "Gimme That" which is sexually explicit. Being called "Black Entertainment Telivision" digusts me when some of the artists that are banned are some black people's favorite artists. I am really irritated to find out that a network I once believed brought real hip hop to the forefront has sunk to a level as low as MTV. I guess Fuse network is the onlye way to go. I can watch my Little Brother and videos from the list I saw.

Doesn't Viacom own MTV too?
-
Doesn't Viacom own MTV too?
they sure do.......they also own Hot97,Power106 etc etc.
-
yeah, itīs sad
-
Thats just so sad,so many legends.I mean,I dont know what to say...
-
I remember this came up a while back (a few months ago someplace else, that list of artists there), and since then some of those artists had been on BET... now i'm not trying to defend BET in general because its not good for the culture anymore, but I'm a little skeptical as to whether this is real or not. I think a lot of these artists that they listed haven't actually had anything out *to* play on BET or they would, and the rest seems to be a wish-list that someone cobbled up. I mean, BET does stifle creativity and shit like that, i don't deny that, but this particular list might be fake. If any of these artists got popular I'm sure they'd get played 24/7.
-
its sad, we should ban b.e.t.
-
I read the list awhile back and was skeptical but haven't seen any of those artists' videos on BET's programming since. A lot of them don't shock me, but Nate Dogg? I read before that those artists don't fit the key demographic which was young black girls (12-19). There's supposed to be something for everybody. I mean 106 & Park is obviously going to be poppish but Rap City too? It's rediculous. Like Slick Pants said though if any one of these artists had a pop song or were on a record with TI, Ludacris, 50 Cent etc. they would be played.
-
we should ban b.e.t.
lol
-
most of the artist are true MC's what a damn shame
-
looks like bullshit
i seen some of those artists
-
Hieroglyphics? that list got half of Wu-Tang FUCK!!!!
fuck BET anyway Im all about Fuse and IMF ;)
-
e-40... too intelligent? LMAO
i love e-40 and all but c'mon now... he's not spitting any conscious lyrics.
-
its a sad day when BET shows such a blatant disrespect for its own fans by banning music "too intelligent" for its viewers...
FUCK BET
[/size]
-
did these people diss BET or something?
haha, I know Kool Keith has countless times throughout his career
-
That's so fuckin stupid. Fuck BET.
-
If this is true, fuck em. This is a damn shame, I used to watch rap city all the time 10 years ago.
-
That's so fuckin stupid. Fuck BET.
-
If Little Brother is "too intelligent" why do they play Kanye West and Commons shit their stuff is just as "intelligent" if not even more. They shouldn't even play any fuckin r&b and Bow Wow if they gonna say all those artists are too intelligent man im glad i don't watch bet much anymore.

labels gives money to get airplay
