I wonder what thier reasoning is behind that. Im not that hurt about it, its not like they played any of those artists anyway...

it looks more like age discrimination to me...but from the perspective of BET i see what they are trying to do.

while it sucks...cant say i have ever seen 99% of the those artists on BET anyway.granted i dont watch much BET but most of those artists dont get play ANYWHERE,so dont see why BET would be any different. taking the extra step to "ban" them is ridiculous though,gives those underground artists even less of a chance and outlets to show their videos

Its ironic though, because they have no problem showing all the softcore porn on BET Uncut. I guess its ok to play a video where women are dressed up and are acting like hoes, or to play a video where the artist is driving around on 24's and throwing money around like it aint no thing. I guess thats the how they choose to portray black america...
