BET is the worst channel ever.

[TheRealist]

Lets play solid blocks of music videos of girls with big booties and slanging crack. Then we'll every now and again we'll play that "positive values" commercial. I don't remember what the commercial says verbatim but it's about bettering yourself or some crap.

 

 

 

It's the most contradictory channel I've ever seen. Not to mention some of the worrrrrrrrst hip-hop I have ever come across. Not so much the mainstream artists but some of the lesser known ones are horrible.

 

 

 

Also, why does MTV play the same 5-6 videos over and over and over. It seems like every time I flip back to the channel they are playing "Touch the Sky" or that funky reggae man.

 

 

 

That being said, I'm going back to not watching TV.

[knives669]

:lol: Excellent topic!

 

 

 

I agree with you 100% BET is very very very contradictory. And if MTV isn't playing a show about spoiled rich kids, or dating, they're playing the same 5 or 6 videos over and over and over again (and the music in all of these videos is horrible).

 

 

 

That being said, if you want a good music channel, VH1 ftw.

[Bubsa]

Are you serious? A music channel worse than MTV?! :shock:

 

*Shudders*

[TheRealist]

Thanks Kayla. 8-)

 

 

 

And I might add that BET showed this stupid movie about crack slanging...

 

 

 

 

 

And then at the end, one black man said "Yeah if I could I'd go back to slangin crack.. it's in my culture"

 

 

 

 

 

GREAT WAY to portrait black people...

[knives669]

:lol:

 

 

 

I remember they used to show alot of "Survival in da hood" movies. Do they still do that?

[TheRealist]

Lol I don't know. I can check on the site. But I really don't want to. I was just checking out what was on TV when I came across 106th and park playing a 50 cent video. :roll:

[knives669]

:x Everytime I see/hear 50 cent, I want to shoot myself.

I tried to find it but couldnt :cry:

[TheRealist]

Wait, were you saying my post is racist?

 

 

 

I fail to see how race affects ones basic critical thinking skills.

[knives669]

I think he was talking about my post.

 

 

 

If 50 cent was white, I'd still think he sucks. :wink:

[TheRealist]

OH! I used to think 50 cent was a great rapper when "Get rich or die tryin'" (CD) came out. Thank God I have friends who know way more about hip-hop than I do. 8-)

[Faux]

I wasn't serious :P

 

 

 

And I have BET, never bothered to watch anything on it though. Too... it's just too much for me.

I know you weren't serious. ^_^

 

 

 

And that is the perfect way to describe BET. :lol:

[Mr_Putter]

Dude, nothing wrong with BET. I mean, just yesterday it showed JUICE.

 

 

 

That's got Sammy L. How could a channel be bad with Sammy L.? And Tupac?

 

 

 

In conclusion: BET>Xbox360.

Juice is a good movie. So they played a good movie on BET, so that erases everything else it has on?

[00 Quanta]

first I thought this was a racist topic...

 

 

 

I like some songs that 106 & Park plays, but some songs seem just lame now. I like Bay area music, they have better raps than music videos shown on BET :wink:

[TheRealist]

I'm not being racist. I'm black myself.

 

I think it wouldn't make any difference if it was white or any other race, I'm voicing my opinion.

 

 

 

I'm saying I don't like it because it's a contradictory channel. They refuse to put on "positive" hip-hop acts like Little Brother because they are not gangster enough but then they play commercials like that?

[slicer92]

Agree 100%.

 

 

 

First off with Mtv,stupid.They used to have to have great programming but its gone downhill.My Super Sweet 16,Ocean and Park,Tiara Girls lol?And its in like what,Real World 17? As for the music,when Trl isnt showing small portions of the song everyday,its playing the same songs in morning and afternoon.

 

 

 

BET,there hasnt been one day I havent seen a movie on their where it wasnt Tyrese and living in the hood or selling crack and getting jumped.

[trapical]

Yea BET really sucks. I love how they have like no white people. At all. I mean honestly how can blacks complain that shows on ABC and FOX "only have 8% of the casts as blacks" and yet their station is 99.999% black :roll:

 

 

 

MTV sucks to though, the "Real World"s are so fake. Acutall all those Laguna beach styly shows are all so fake and scripted that they piss me off that some people think they're real.

 

I mean come one "Real World South Beach?" I spent 3 weeks in South Beach a few monthes ago, was it like the show films it? Ha ha, funny. SouthBeach is full of really old people, retired Jewish jewlers, gay 40 year old guys, and a bunch of lame 35 year old men (think Night At The Rocksbury) who patrol the beeches looking for hot teenagers--there aren't any besides a few tourists with their parents. I'v been in the clubs there too, again they are filled with tourists and more 35 year old aroused guys looking for the girls they see on shows like Real World.

i got your back :wink:

 

 

 

[Google90]

the only good thing about BET is the show uncut at 3 in the morning...

[WutangFlu]

VH1 Classics > Everything.

Well, one would expect Black Entertainment Television to be primarily casted by blacks.

 

 

 

In the end these channels play what the majority wants to see. So if there are a few of us who think there should be positive music like your example of Little Brother and other decent artists, there are always going to be more that think Bubba Sparxxx and 50 Cent are better, so more popular, so they are played more often. The movies though are directly based on the name (Black Entertainment...), which is why they are played. Juice is a good movie though.

 

 

 

To make your point, I'd say in my life I've watched a total of two minutes of this channel.

[trapical]

I know what you mean but still if there was a White Entertainment Television people would be rioting in the streets.

 

 

 

Also the entire concept is stupid and quite detrimental to blacks in general. If blacks are completely equal to whites as they then why isn't BET identical to Comedy Central? Having a station aimed at black people that primarily shows people doing Cocaine is in fact saying that blacks do cocaine and drugs. The station itself furthers the stereotype showing how different whites are and blacks are (and how different their TV stations are)

[00 Quanta]

BET is already good enough... we don't want another racial channel, it'll cost riot in the street like what trapical said
