Video: Chris Brown on BET's 106 & Park
Surprisingly not the softball interview I was expecting but this dude continues to evade addressing this situation full-on the way he should only making himself look worse the longer he doesn't. His main concern is that he's embarrassed about the situation and his explanation is that he's human?? 106 & Park is his most natural home in the music/entertinament game and about the safest harbor he's gonna find and even Rocsi kind of went in on him. He's deluded if he thinks its gonna get easier from here on out....

Video: Jasiri X - "Dear Debra: A Letter to BET"
I've been feeling the videos Jasiri's been making recently....
"This Episode is dedicated to the BET and their CEO Debra Lee. Dear Debra is a critical but loving letter exploring the possibilities of Black Entertainment Television. Episode 23 was produced by Kai Roberts and directed by Paradise the Arkitech of X-Clan. No ducks were harmed in the making of this video."
Updated (11.2.09): Black gossip site, Bossip.com totally plays themselves by completely misinterpreting the intent of Jasiri's video and trying to mock him but, indicating that they are a lot more smarter than the site editors are, their readers call them on it. There is hope after all! [grandgood via Davey D]

Promo for Jay-Z's 9/11 MSG Show/Fuse TV Broadcast
This is basically a straight-up commercial but I'm posting it anyway for 2 reasons: 1. it's a charity show and 2. to ask how BET let the broadcast rights for this show go to f-cking FUSE television? WTF??? That is a MAJOR FAIL on their part. I guess they were too busy renegotiating to get another season of Hell Date!

Trailer for New BET Reality Series: "Harlem Heights"
I actually got put up on this show when I got this with my coffee a couple weeks ago at my local coffee shop, but a spot on the radio just jogged my memory about it. To my uptown heads though: is there actually a neighborhood called Harlem Heights??
"Harlem Heights" premieres on Monday (March 2) at 10pm EST. Click here for more details.

BET Founder Bob Johnson is still an idiot!
Via EURweb.com:
"On Monday, speaking to the Charlotte Observer, he did his best Geraldine Ferraro imitation and that Sen. Barack Obama would not be his party's leading candidate if he were white.Click here for more from EURweb.com and here for the original Charlotte Observer article.
"What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant is that if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called 'Jerry Smith' and he says I'm going to run for president, would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote?" Johnson said. "And the answer is, probably not.""

Lil Wayne - "Leather So Soft" (Live at BET Spring Bling 08)
Wayne getting his Wyclef Jean on during his Special taped at 'BET Spring Bling' that aired last night! Rizoh's unimpressed but I gotta say I was surprised that he could even play this well. Weezyana continues to confound the pundits.
BTW: who the f-ck is that kid who was on stage with him the whole time doing nothing other than dancing really badly and clapping off-beat?!

BET Founder Bob Johnson does not have a dream!
Or does he?
Either way, this is truly embarrassing with the MLK Jr. holiday just around the corner. I'm not saying you have to ride for Obama just 'cos he's black but do you have to show your ass for massa by knocking down the brother like that - especially after Clinton's recent bullsh*t-ass comments?

Video: Soulja Boy performing at the BET Hip Hop Awards
Unlike others, I think this kid Soulja Boy might have enough talent to stick around for more than a minute. Apparently his peformance at the BET Hip Hop Awards was the highlight of the show hands down:
