Could've sworn I've seen his videos on BET as a kid

His shyt on MTV and VH1 a LOT. I don’t remember him showing up on BET, unless he was featured. Maybe “I belong to you” or “Again”, even then it wouldn’t have been on too long. BET got real lame and vapid a long time ago.

Are you gonna go my way and Fly Away were played on a few Neo-soul/Alternative block programs on BET before Reality Television started to take over music channels like BET/VH1/MTV and those music video programs got sidelined. I got the VHS tapes (Somewhere's) to prove it too.

This has been debated for a long time. We just need to be real that most black media isn't black owned. Therefore, blacks are not pushing the narrative on black people.

And that needs to be addressed first before any talking points are put out there.

A room full of CACs decides what’s “black enough” either because it sells or they have no interested in diversity positive (and alternative) images that don’t fit their “blackness” narrative.
