They sold out to some cacs. Was a wrap ever since.
Rap City right after school...
played like 4-5 hrs of videos...
I used to wait for Pharcyde “Drop” and Mobb Deep videos amongst many others lol...
That was my childhood. Teen Summit on Saturday mornings.
Viacom (BET/MTV yes I know Viacom didn’t own BET back then I’m using that umbrella for them now) used to have some great programming in the 90s, informative stuff. BET Nightly News, True Life, Rap City (when Tigger was just a “reporter” lol) Yo MTV Raps, The (early) Real World, Scared Straight 98, etc...
now look at the BS they peddle. Vh1 used to be soft rock cac mess now it’s home of ratchetness
Props if you remember that you had to turn the volume down after you turned from BET cuz they volume was mad low lol

Yeah the one individual who got paid and his partners would agree with you. But cacs couldnt wait to burn bet to the ground. They hate seeing black self sufficient businesses that dont have anything to do with cacs.
I remember when VH1 tried to change their imagine after that dude from I Love Money killed his girlfriend and stuffed her in a suitcase. That only lasted not even a few years before they went back to the ratchetness.

I'm legit pissed that they even wanted it.
What kinda sociopathic menace you gotta have, to even try?
You could give me 300 Billie tomorrow, I'm never gonna try to buy CMT.
But some pale faced demons out there, did just that.

I really think someone can start a network online with the same feel and be very successful.
