Knox Harrington Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Wud u lot really get happy if it was another music channel....it wud be destined to be shite anyway....What is needed is a black channel that shows 24/7 black programming including Docs, Music, World News, Sitcom etc..Is that what this channel will provide? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BET#Programming Pissed its basically a slightly blacker version of Trouble.

Carpe_Deum Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 yeah this has been in the works for bout 2 years, still BET now is sh*t.. they have and are still wasting a brilliant opportunity. They couldve been a little Like HBO, history channel, MTV, and regular TV all in one.. but they chose the Music ONLY route.. they're just another MTV base. that show a few other shows, and the old classic comedies. they are still tops for stand up comedy though.

Numero001 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 No, Black Entertainment TV. And there's no problem with it, except that it will spawn a new generation of wiggerism.I, for one, will not be watching this crap. (And the programming actually is crap)Nah man, on the American on Sundays they have Gospel stuff in th morning which is shower, American Gangsters was sick, they show The Wire, Black movies (when I saw it they had Baby Boy on), Rap City freestyles are must-see and 106 & Park has good artists on thereOnly bad thing is people gonna think theyre on my level with music knowledge and gonna see the freestyles and hear about artists they wouldnt usually knowGospel = Only good if you care about religion or that type of music. Most youth don't, apart from the ones who beg it. American gangsters = Don't know what that is.The Wire = Don't watchBlack movies = 1990s ting. I ain't seen a REALLY good one made in the 2000s.Rap City Freestyles = SICK, but same ting what you said.I wasnt interested in Gospel until I saw that but obviously most are "too cool" to listen to that.American Gangsters is a series of documentaries based on the Black Gangsters that were heavy in the game, mainly in NY, and we hear about in Rap songs like Pappy Mason, Supreme and them guys there.

Black gangsters (I mean real gangsters/druglords) are annoying, though.Gimme La Cosa Nostra anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have proper funding now.Like Carpe said BET should be more all-round. I wouldnt say the American one is like Base. They produce shows and not just the cheap "Takes Two" and them cheap chart things that they live off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
