More shyt posting/dap fishing, especially seeing as Viacom's highest rated black shows are on VH1/MTV and not BET

Cacs watch BET too, when it comes to funding, Viacom gives more funding to shows on VH1 or MTV

The show was given the axe when Viacom changed the structure of the programming across all their networks in the mid 2000s, had nothing to do with ratings.
Breh, be real, you think that show you showed me look like the shows of today? I'm talking about an actual storyline plot and etc like on Black Ink. Also, discussing the AA Culture within it's plot too. Not some Nickelodeon bullshyt.

It wasn't some Nickelodeon bullshyt you fukking idiot, it was regular barbershop shyt.

There are no clips online to show, I just pick that clip to show that the show existed.

We both adults breh no need for insults. I have no issue with you and respect you as a mod. What I'm talking about is a show that is similar to L&HH and Black Ink that goes through the history of barbershops. Maybe, you liked that show. What's good or bad is up to one's interpretation.

All the terrible opinions that come out of barbershops why would you want them to be televised? :francis:

I once had to go bald after I turned my head too fast to see the idiot that said Carmelo Anthony is better than LeBron James.
First off, that's a big part of AA culture. Also, it's a missed gem and it would do great in the ratings block.

:what:

No one would watch that bullshyt. People go to the shop to get a cut and to talk shyt. The show from MTV already did that. There's plenty of YouTubers doing that now.

Maybe, you liked that show. What's good or bad is up to one's interpretation.

I didn't say I liked the show dumbass, I said a show about a barbershop has already been tried.

:what:

There has been several attempts at this but you guys are a little short sighted with this concept....

If it's going to be entertaining it has to have a celebrity angle.....and if you notice lots of celebs such as Diddy, Khaled, Nas etc, they post their haircuts sometimes by the same dudes so why not follow the top 2 or 3 celeb barbers as they jet set around the world cutting celebrity hair and showing the life. They get like 3-500 a cut or some shyt like that sometimes more depending on the traveling.

Males don't create as much drama as females so that's where it'd end up failing. Unless you add some female barbers to the mix (:scusthov:) then I don't see it working.

True. Even those beauty hair salon shows have a celeb guest.


Especially, with Beauty Bar this past season. Amara La Negra and Vee almost got into it.

Have a popular rapper make an appearance getting a cut and that helps the show with ratings/the shop.

Remember, drama creates eyeballs which turns into ratings.

p*ssy nikka wants a barbershop styled Love and Hip Hop :scusthov:

Going to be real disappointed at the LeBron show on HBO, no drama, just nikkas at the shop talking shyt.
