Since people dont want to respond until theyre offended or hurt, i think this was a great idea. On the other hand, for B.E.T. to call this a "P.S.A." I'd have to agree... that's stupid. A wake-up call is more like it, to not only the REAL black community, but to BET aswell. HELLO? If you want black folks to start reading books, stop playing into the dumbshit ALL DAY! I'm 99% sure whenever you turn to B.E.T. you will see spinning rims, women dressed like ho's, money being wasted, or thrown around as if "it aint a thang" and t-shirts that look like dresses! Why is it all of a sudden offensive because someone takes that same platform and reminds us.. "hello, we're more than this!!!" You guys got to be shittin me, when the hell was the last time B.E.T. was a TALENT showcase for anyone? You call the soulja boi talent? T-Pain? Jibbs? Mimms? This is what you call talent? Gotta be shittin me. scream at me rob "TexIz" It’s funny, no one gets offended when black folks make this type of music EVERYDAY about the exact same dumbshit the original creator of this song was satiring.

Books contain wisdom, but if you can not even read the heating directions on a can of baked beans, I guess you find solace in Rap. I am unlucky, both of my kids are grown up, because I would have enjoyed telling them that they were grounded, for listening to such awfull stuff! In my mind there is only one sort of rap allowed in my household, Cling Wrap. It works great, it does not swear at me, it just seals in the flavour.
