I think most of the shit they play is garbage. They seem to solely glorify "new hip-hop"; that which no longer tells a story and concentrates exclusively of the following:

1) Money
2) Cars
3) Broads

And from my standpoint, it's damn sad that they don't "raise the bar" and take some responsibilty for the images they are pushing predominantly on Black youths.

But I GOTTA SAY, that I was SHOCKED to see that Jadakiss video- Why? It actually had a message as opposed to what generally saturates thier playlists.

Just commenting on the dis-service BET does for it's audience and praising the KNOCKING Jada track.

Damn... thanks for the insight. I didn't know that!! I make it a point not to watch either of them though, however on this particular occasion I was at a friends house.

MTV is Music Television and BET is BLACK Entertainment Television... that says two WAY DIFFERENT things to me. Jeeeez... some "entertainment."

money money money.........until the people realize in which I believe it's far to late nothing will ever change. Entertainment in general is all bad now a days. This is the end of the world day and the devil is here BIG. So I ain't no pastor but the world won't change for the better until Jesus comes back.

Yup. And folks wonder why I mostly listen to underground Rap. I'm not saying that there aren't underground rappers and CDs that suck, too (there are), but in my experience, your chances of finding a decent rap CD to bump are better if you root around in the underground (West, South, wherever) instead of letting the video channels dictate to you...The mainstream thinks w/ its' dick, not its' brain.

Videos (or should I call them "videhoes") nowadays are just advertisements for GIRLS GONE WILD set to music. KRS-One wasn't too far off back in the day when he referred to television as "tell-lie-vision."

PEACE!

^^ No, Viacom owns Telemundo (and CBS), and Viacom owns MTV, then MTV has a series of holdings. Its not exactly the same thing.

Man, i'm just sick of people saying everything sucks, and never considering if THEY suck, or THEY are the boring, watered down, lame one.

Im sick of people who think they are the best thing to happen since slice bread... or think they a good rapper... when really they apart of the watered down BULLSHIT
