NYC Radio Show WBLS in NYC was just telecasting the Luther Vandross funeral. This would be the perfect opportunity for BET to step up, put the booty shaking videos on pause and show the Luther Vandross funeral.
Oh well, this was to be expected....BET, ya gotta love 'em.
Fuck BET. They suck, they were black now its for suburban teenagers.
I was in M-City (Montreal, Canada) last week and they got this Much Vibe station where its like 2 hours of different videos and then a hour of old skool videos, the shit was da bomb. No punkass VJ's saying stupid shit, no 1-800 number for 13yr old girls to vote in their favorite Bow Wow video or anything, just straight music.
I cant believe BET sold out so bad. Might as well call Blacks Entertaining US Tv. Cuz that shit aint for black folks.
What do you expect from the worst televison broadcast channel on the planet. Lazy niggas don't care about Luther, now if 50 cent died, pull all the stops, this nigga is getting the funeral PRESIDENT style. It's a damn shame, but that BET for you. Straight Coon Entertainment.
PEACE
P.S. - BOYCOTT BET
CHEERS TO BET, U HAVE OFFICIALLY BECAME THE WORSE CHANNEL ON TELEVISION. THE SAD THING IS THAT PEOPLE OF OTHER RACES SEE THIS CHANNEL AND BASE THEIR SOLE JUDGEMENT OF OUR RACE FROM THIS CHANNEL. AND IF THIS IS THE CASE, WE SHOULD BE SURPRISE THAT WE AREN'T TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY. IT SEEMS LIKE FROM BET, ALL BLACK PEOPLE LIKE TO DO IS LISTEN TO MUSIC THAT MEANS NOTHING AND FOCUS ON THINGS THAT REALLY ARNE'T IMPORTANT, SUCH AS EDUCATION AND A BETTERMENT OF THE BLACK RACE.......DAMN BRAVO IZ DOIN BETTER THAN Y'ALL
Sad state of affairs when NY1 news televised the affair and Sambo Entertainment could not pause the coon picnic in progress to pay homage to a legend. As the astute reader pointed out, we would get a breaking news story if any of these g-unit fools died. a damn shame.
Fuck BET the only thing goin 4 dat channel is uncut. Don't no real black people watch that channel just sell outts...Fuck BET
You guys must understand BET doesn't have time to broadcast the funeral of a legend. After all, they gotta broadcast infomercials get us poor black folk you who are struggling to make ends meet to send our money to some agency to help european jews emigrate to Israel.
I agree %100. Although I'm not into R&B, You'd think BET would televise the funeral of a music legend. But now it's jsut like MTV except centered towards Black teens. Even Rap City is unwatchable now, Mad Linx sucks worse than Big Tigga.
Word up,i feels all of ya'll....hip hop done did a 360....it used to be that wu-tang and nas was runnin shit...now a nigga like ghostface(a person who actually writes his own songs)can't sell more than a corporate tool like bow wow...fuck bet.
You people have to realize that BET is a business. Their #1 priority is to make money for their shareholders. They go where the money is. They have to go at that crucial teenage market segment, hell every one else does. At least Luther got his walk of fame show BEFORE he died, Barry White didn't get SHIT. And why do we as black people always look for people to lead us or look after us? BET stands for Black ENTERTAINMENT Television not Black Education Television if it doesn't entertain you don't watch it. I don't.
BET doesnt control their own programming, viacom does, so be mad at viacom...
BET is a good channel..viacom controls the shit..so a message 2 all u ppl hatin on bet..FUCK YALL FAKE ASS CAKE ASS NIGGAS..u dont want none with BET or me...remember me..TEXASBALLA979 mother fuckers
its not BETs fault that niggers commit most of the violent crimes in this country, are most involved in the drug trade, have the highest drop-out rates, and that 70 percent of black babies are born out of wedlock... its the fault of the niggs. stop bitching about why white people dont like you and start doing something respectable for Gods sake.
BET WAS BETTER IN THE 90'S. THEY USE TO SHOW DIFFERENT VIDEOS. NOT 106 N PARK SHOWS THE SAME 10 PHUKIN VIDEOS EVERYDAY. HOW ENTERTAINING IS THAT? THEY SHOULD STEP THEIR GAME UP. NOW THAT THE OWNER HAS STEPPED DOWN TO RUN THE BOB CATS...MAYBE SHYT WILL BE DIFF. PAY HOMAGE TO THE OLD SCHOOL. IF BET SHOWS ANY OLD SKOOL VIDEOS..ITS SOME SHYT FROM 1995. THAT AINT OLD SKOOL!
THIS IS 4 "bruiser"(NOTE THE LOWER CASE LETTERS): SOMETIMES SOME OF YOU WHITE PEOPLE AMAZE ME. NO MATTER HOW EASY YALL HAVE IT, CAUSE BEING EUROPEON YOU AUTOMATICALLY HAVE IT BETTER THAN US(EX.JOBS, TAXES, LAWS,(WHY DO YOU GET LESS TIME FOR PURE COCAINE(RICH WHITE MAN'S DRUG), THAN CRACK COCAINE(POOR BLACK MAN'S DRUG)? SCHOOLS(TEXTBOOKS&TEACHERS ARE PROPERLY PROVIDED FOR YALL, HEALTHCARE, JUSTICE(WHILE IT'S JUST-US 4 BLACKS)LAWMAKERS PASS LAWS AND BILLS FOR YALL, IN THE INNER CITES A YOUNG BLACK MALE WILL GET TIME FOR SOMETHING A WHITEBOY WOULD GET A TICKET FOR.) YOU COME TO A HIP HOP BLOG ABOUT LUTHER V. AND JUST CALL ALL OF US SOME "NIGGERS", WHY EVER WASTE TIME OUT OF YOUR PREFECT LIFE TO TELL US THAT. DO YOU WANT US TO KNOW YOUR A LIFELONG MEMBER OF THE KKK? I MIGHT BE YOUNG BUT I REMEMBER BLACKS HAD TO GET BEAT AND HUNG AND SPRAYED WITH FIRE HOSES AND BITE BY YA DOGS JUST SO WE COULD EVEN OWN A COMPANY LET ALONE VOICE OUR OPINIONS OR EVEN DRINK FROM THE SAME WATER BUBBLER OR SHARE THE SAME BATHROOM EVEN RIDE IN THE FRONT OF THE CITY BUS. BUT NOW INSTEAD OF HIDING BEHIND SHEETS YA'LL HIDE BEHIND SUITS AND TIES AND POLICE UNIFORMS AND F.B.I AND C.I.A SUITS AND DON'T FORGET JUDGE'S BLACK ROBES PLUS POLITICION AND PRESIDENT DESKIES AND ARMY FATIGUE. P.S. DO ANYBODY REMEMBER HOW FROM THE LATE 50s TO PRESENT TIME. THE F.B.I. MISSION ON THE HOME FRONT WAS TO DISCREDIT ANY SUCCESSFUL BLACK MALE IN AMERICA?(I.E. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., MALCOLM X, BILL COSBY, MICHAEL "JACKO" JACKSON. etc.etc.etc......) P.S.S. Oh, By the way let not forget who lives in trailer parks.1
ALSO I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THE SUBJECT. YEAH I EXPECTED THEM TO BROADCAST IT, I DON'T PAY TO MUCH ATTENTION TO B.E.T., BUT I BET IF ELVIS WAS ALIVE OR EMENIEM PASS IT WOULD BE ON THERE JUST ASK "bruiser"(IT'S A WHITE MAN'S WORLD... REST IN PEACE LUTHER!!!!
That's right! All white people have it good. If you are born with white skin you automatically are set for life. Every white person in America is rich and has no problems. Don't you watch the O.C. muhfucka?
Black people have it bad because they are black, plain and simple, and they are fucked by white society all the time. And don't be fooled by Condoleeza Rice, Oprah, Colin Powell, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Hatchett, Larry Elder, Bob Johnson, or any number of Black CEOs and success stories across the country who got up, got out and got something and didn't sit around crying about shit that happened sixty years ago. They aren't keeping it real.
Condy Rice, Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey ? I thought we were talking about black folk. Also, Bob Johnson sold BET(Black Owned/Operated) to Viacom(Cracker Owned/Operated), nevertheless it's still 'Black' Entertainment Television. Thats like the NAACP having a white CEO. Thats why MTV and BET have such similar shows, 106=TRL, College Hill=Real World, etc. Alls i'm saying is that, you could have used some better examples to try and make your point, unless you were talking about diehard assimilationist. I mean't sellouts, lol..
Why are you guys surprised? I'm shocked they even realized he died. They didn't even stop the show to have a report...I read it comming across the screen. But if ever bow wow broke his leg...everything would stop, they'd start a fund in his name, a whole 106 episode, and a forum to show your condolences.
Who cares about BET? I dont! BET thinks for young black teens to make it in society they either have to be a rapper or a comedian. BET sucks so fucking bad.
