“If Michael Jackson & James Brown can show up to the BET awards, these black superstars of today definitely can” 🧐🤔🧐

[Michael's Black Son]

From the early 2000s you still had people like Alexander O Neal to Patti LaBelle, Mary J Blige and Maxwell, Babyface and Tony Toni Tone that they could’ve pulled from to fill up these award shows with marquee names.

They went the ratchet route across the board and poor decision making buried the network.

Then want to have the nerve to say they are worth a $2 billion+ selling price.

When black artists reach a certain level they just consider themselves too big to attend the BET awards

I don't care until it becomes black owned again.

The timing of the show hurts it

It tapes in the early summer during touring season

And poor production

 

[KidJSoul]

Social media ruined it tbh

Too much access to stars on demand any time devalued award shows

Back then you had to tune in to award shows to see them because they weren't on YouTube and Twitter

The only thing black about today's BET is the logo

Mj and James didn’t go to every award show

Beyonce is by far the biggest star in our culture. She been there more than anyone

 

[King Poetic]

Don’t worry sexy red gonna send out lawyers like Jay have when people need some help


Also boosie and birdman always have black Americans back



But anyway I don’t see it going back to that time where all the real stars come out


We gonna have saucy Santana and rolling ray out here to rep for us

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Award shows don't hit the same with social media. You see celebs all the time now.

I mean this is the answer right here
