What happened to the BET Hip hop awards?
- Thread starter DaHNIC82
- Start date
I didn't even know it was on till late last night.
They literally had a club setting for this shyt?
How did we go from The Source awards to this type of shyt?
.
1. The state of black music is at an all time low
2. budget cuts.. the bigger artists, even B level rappers stopped showing up
3. BET is completely irrelevant as a channel or a platform
4. Even the BET Awards has slowly become ghetto and irrelevant.

They refuse to adjust.
This was as good a year as any to invite fringe and underground rappers to fill that stage or do cyphers. BET is out of touch, they need to hire some young people and fix it.

Music sucks
And awards shows are just boring in general these days

"young people" ain't watching fukking terrestrial cable no matter what you do. They can have Kai Cenat and Ishowspeed c00n for 24 hours a day and it'd still be a wasteland. The medium is dead.. it's time to adapt or die.

Yes, because Alchemist and Roc Marciano are gonna have the ratings through the roof.

RIP Big Dikk :wow: :mjcry:
Nah, this breh got a big dikk.
same thing that happened to the BET awards, the biggest stars stop coming. It happened to the hip-hop awards at a far faster rate though.
I could be reaching but once Bob Johnson and Debra Lee left, it seems like the biggest stars left too

Well yes that's part of adapting... Making it a twitch stream instead of a telecast (or just add twitch as one of the platforms) etc,. moves like that.

These aren't the only representatives of "the underground", they're one side of it.

Why can’t we just be honest and say the few big superstars that can draw a crowd just aren’t going to show up to anything but the Grammys and even then they still ain’t showing up unless you give them a big prestigious award
When the superstars stop coming(Beyonce, JayZ, Kanye, Rihanana, 50) so did the masses... But yet these black shows kept on nominating them for awards, I would have never put them nikkas on the column if they not showing up.
I miss The Source Awards because that shyt was so special... Black folks from all forms of entertainment represented.

I think the issue is they have no reason to watch.
If not for Kendrick, this entire year of rap is all-time low. Who in rap worth watching an awards show for?
Really tho the bet hip hop awards has never been that special. The BET Awards is the main thing to watch, and it's been wack now for several years
