Lenny Kravitz says he's not black enough for BET

[CrimsonTider]

This one of Kravitz best songs

Catchy guitar riffs, walking bass line, captivating lyrics

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Probably been said already, but

"Too hard for MTV, not black enough for BET. Just let me be."

 

[Bolzmark]

BET isn't black owned, hasn't been ever since it sold out to Viacom in 2003.

We need a black platform to acknowledge our legends instead of colonizers dictating our talent.

Luckily, we have Youtube where the youth is promoting artists/trendsetters that would've never make it on BET

You are correct but even when Robert Johnson owned it was it that much different?

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Keeping it funky, he’s not FBA. He always used to be one of those negroes back in the day, talking about his Caribbean/Jewish heritage. The “don’t label me as just black” types. Which is absolutely fine.

Just don’t be upset when that alienates you with the “I don’t see color” mantra. Take that beef up with your paternal lineage, the actual gatekeepers. His daughter got her wake up call. I guess his alarm was set later.

What happened with Zoe

I think one thing people are forgetting is one of the reasons BET went all in on Rap and R&B is because at the time no other network would touch those genres. It ended up working out for them actually.

underrated reply

Facts the thread took a turn and got weird. It’s obvious Lenny is lying. Never made himself available for any black outlet, collaborated with many black artists/producers/. But some users are you using Lenny to shyt on part’s of black culture and black peoples.
This thread is one of those city-data/st0rmfr0nt threads where cacs and c00ns are sending those dog whistles.

On the Josh Giddy, mods platform pro-pedophilia rhetoric. This thread anti-black rhetoric…Mods pretty much allow it

yup

In typical fashion
Thecoli skipped right past this post
It’s been said by even black interviewers on the red carpets that they get ignored not by the star
But their publicist doing fukk shyt
This is the problem with people
nikkas deal in absolutes and never, ever, ever think it’s another angle to something
And let’s not act like you nikkas where some super Lenny fukking Kravitz fans back in the day
N.E.R.D. Is responsible for nikkas coming out the music closet and even that shyt was considered white boy music
So to sit here and take his word as gospel
Mighty funny and hypocritical at the same damn time
If you are an 80s baby you know he telling a partial truth while excluding the other angle to this
It’s easy to shyt on black media
But this half THEM ain’t fooling no grown person
Just like his little confused daughter that runs her mouth but quiet as shyt around them FOLKS
