It’s one thing for Viacom to shit on Black Entertainment Television by stripping all of their production values to the bare minimum. Exploiting content from this outlet is all that Viacom was ever going to do in the first place. B.E.T. isn’t supposed to win, and with a multi-national conglomerate keeping its foot in your arse you will never win.
It was bad enough that B.E.T. exploited Hip-Hop until it almost became an irrelevant caricature of itself. Now B.E.T. will do Viacom’s dirty work by exploiting the lifestyles of gays, lesbians and transgenders using the thinly veiled disguise of a subculture of Hip-Hop reality show. A transgender professional with a laundry list of rapper’s phone numbers will get a television show to talk shit (literally I imagine) and the Internets Celebrities can’t get a thirty minute variety show to kick truth to the youth.
I’m sure this young lady has a few tricks up her sleeve, but who cares about this shit? No, really? Do you care who she suxed and fuxed? I sure don’t. But somebody does and that is why she is on top [ll]. Truth be told I don’t think television is my endgame anyhoo. Especially since companies are developing the mobile devices that will allow for high-resolution digital images. My problem is the lust for this content and what that tells me about the execs that create programming based on a ‘Hip-Hop’ model.
Your image and your integrity were never more important to your brand then they are now. If you won’t stand up for something then you will fall for anything. I’m not going to let the culture that I helped birth by participating in and consuming and communicating its value to be further bastardized by those that don’t give a shit about it. Do me a favor internets and turn off your television. Turn off that bullshit.
