-

WHATS VH1 BIGJAKE ???
-
ya VH1 is TIGHT, they go so deep into tha music......But one thing Ive realized is why THEY HAVENT SHOWN 2PAC's BEHIND THA MUSIC...huh?
-
I like Behind The Music.... thats tight, no matter what it is.

I heard they made it or are currently makin it, they just have to clearance to use some of tha videos
-
I'm 16 too, and I've been watching Behind The Music since it first aired, I've almost seen every one and they are all pretty interesting.
-
VH1 is my favorite music channel. even here in the UK its pretty good, i like the informative shows like Behind the music, plus some of the old school vids.
MTV is just 100% pop now, i cant stand it
-
Word, VH1 takes Behind The Music into real depth. I'm lookin' forward 2 the Pac one, although i've seen hundreds of those type progs. I also watch VH1 Classic alot, they play alot of OLD skool rap on there. True about MTV though, they've delved even more into the mainstream now......the only MTV related channel I watch nowadays is MTV Base.

yeah i barely watch MTV anymore. like once every couple months
-
It still sucks but its getting better.
-
Vh1 has been tight for a while. Mtv is just too pop. I can't stand it. I started turning there on a regular basis when behind the music came on.
-
They dont even play music anymore on mtv, they show videos from 1:00 am to like 8:00 AM, when most peeps r sleepin, there shows suck they have two shows i watch, tough enough an jackass, they dont show tom green or beavis anb butt-head anymore, they need yo mtv raps again, they should have shows dedicated just to older rap an rock videos , showin videos from tha early an mid 90's. When was tha lat time a west coast rap video was on TRL,

i'm not bagging on mtv at all ....mtv gets an unfair stereo type...they basically have been trying to push alot of new music into their roster to try push the pop fad out that's what they've always done but they gotta play what the majority of what listeners wanna hear....got behind a fad and tried to kill it off to ignite another....if it wern't for MTV none of us would be here talking about our favorite music and they got MTV that shows 100% music all the time and it shows TOOOONS of new acts on there that are mostly rock and hip hop....MTV is really just a music culture channle where most of what's played is based around music that's played on MTV2 most of the time....i love mtv....not neccacarily the pop songs they play but every thing else...which is dope and MTV is not 100% pop they actually play that gorillaz song more times a day than the new n'sync or bsb songs
back in the early 80's MTV was known as the punk rock or new wave channle...then it was known as the hiar band and michael jackson channle in the late 80's, then in the early 90's it was known as the heavymetal/gangsta rap/ alternative grunge channle, then when pac and kobain died it turned into the sugar ray/smashmouth/puffy channle for a second....then back street boys and nysnc and brintey hit big and they're all the sudden the teeny bopper channle....last year it was soooooo obovious mtv was trying to kill off pop by playing a GRIP of heavy metal bands...it didn't work now they're all FUCK IT ...whatever gets the most request we'll show
anways it's all good i ain't berating anyones feelings toward them this is just how i see them...just going through stages and phases in music
-
MTV here (UK) is definatly over run by pop music, then u have MTV2 that plays alternative music, i.e Nu-Metal, Heavy Metal, Indie, some genres of
Hip-Hop (they actually play alot of Pac on there.) then u gots MTVBase, thats totally dedicated to
Hip-Hop & R&B. Then u gots the VH1 channels, the main VH1 & VH1 Classic. So i'm not gonna jus' totally write off MTV here as we do have a choice in what we want 2 listen 2 which is gr8, but the normal MTV channel is over run with whats mainstream basically, & that is no doubt the most popular channel. MTV know exactly what they're doing ;D
-
My fav BTM shows:
Dr. Dre
Snoop Dogg
Biggie
Elton John
Fleetwood Mac
Boy George
All were interesting.
-
the only MTV related channel I watch nowadays is MTV Base.
Damn rite. I cant stand all the other channels except for VH1, KISS & MTV Base, though I onyl watch VH1 and Kiss every now and again, VH1 Classics in the UK sucks IMO, they only play old rock when I put it on...I aint never heard a decent track on there...not even any Beatles.

Maybe you are right. But the thing I don't like about mtv these days is that I think they don't play enough videos. Don't get me wrong. There shows are bangin. (real world, road rules, etc) I know they have mtv2 but the videos are so mixed up it's crazy. One minute they'll play dr. dre and the next minute they'll play brittney spears then metalica. I wish they had one hour for hip hop. One for pop, then rock, etc. I wish the box was still here. I miss that. Although most people would wait to see what other people ordered. I liked the box better then mtv2.
-
yeah i agree with you there that the regular mtv doesn't show enough videos but that's the idea though..regular mtv is just about the music lifestyle and it's sister station mtv2 is where you watch the music videos....but i kinda like the way they flip it one minute you're watching a Moby Song then the next your watching an old school rap video then new shchool it kinda devlopes a braoder hurisen in people's musical tastes....but yeah i think they should also do that with regular blocks of just MTV Raps and Head Bangers Ball to cator to specific tastes but over all i'm feeling the eclectic feel of MTV2 i just change the channle when they show a video i don't like

I Agree With Jake, MTV Owns Music, And They Try To Be Responsible, But They Gotta Make Money And Play What's Wanted. VH1 Has Been Much Better, I Think, For Years, Because They're More Apt To Play Talent, Even If They're Old. For Instance, VH1 Will Have An Interview With George Harrison, Straight Talent, When MTV Prob. Wouldn't Report News On Him. I Always See Cool Interviews And Performances on VH1, When MTV Doesn't Cater The Old Crap anymore; Once You Ain't Hot, They Drop Ya.
Another Thing, Backstreet Boys And That Crap, Don't Get As Much Play On VH1.
