Exclusive Details on the Return of BET Uncut

by Kel Dansby | Posted on Sunday, July 19th, 2015

I had the pleasure of covering the NBAPA’s Player Awards, which will air Tuesday night on BET. While there BET made it known that BET Uncut would return to late night TV.



If you don’t know what BET Uncut you might be under the age of 25, if you are over the age of 25, it is time to rejoice. I can recall staying up until 3am and watching videos like ‘Tip Drill’ on level 5 volume so I wouldn’t wake my grandparents. It was a staple for many in the Hip Hop generation and now a whole new set of fans will get to experience it.

Are you excited for the return of BET Uncut?

They should've never taken it off.

It was just a bunch of bitter ass broads whining about that shyt.

The VMAs that airs once a year being their only music video oriented programming doesn't help.

MTV was a great place for artists to promote their new releases. Making of music videos, live performances, interviews. That's basicslly non existent now. Huge reason why music sales have gone down as well. There's no excitement or anticipation.

shyt looks wack

People will tune in for awhile, just to check it out. But overall this is pointless. Like I said expect a mass channel die-off/combining in the next 5-10 years.

Bet Uncut was only good because as a youngin porn was so hard to come by

Bet Uncut was only good because as a youngin porn was so hard to come by

Porn was hard to come by in 2005?

Look, if Uncut has an issue, it's because it's coming on too early in the evening. 10PM is too early, it's a show that's supposed to be on at 2AM, where they can get borderline pornographic without crossing that line.

I think it could be successful regardless of the internet, because like radio, BET can expose people to things they wouldn't normally look for. Like any of y'all would've been on the internet looking up Black Jesus and Joker the Bailsbondsman or Mighty Casey.

If they do it in a way where a lot of marginally famous rappers who most people wouldn't look up online and the few mainstream rappers who make "uncut" type videos, it could be okay.

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Oh, PLEASE let this be true.

 

[Red Shield]

May as well end it. Mtv don't got it like it use too have it. And the VMAs have become too try hard

 

[Mowgli]

They sold out they lost touch. Its over for those bums.

It's moments like these that I wish I were in a position to help come up with and present
content for MTV or BET. They're clearly channels that need to be reinvented for the 21st century.

Vice, noisey, etc. all of these websites have adjusted to the new ways people
consume and are introduced to music. MTV doesn't seem interested in presenting
similar content and is hell bent on bringing reality T.V. shows that no one asked for.

I always hear folks in The Booth talk about them. What content do that have on their site?
