seems like bet's version of tanning of america


theres no similarity at all.

lets not go out of our way to call something a knockoff just because its done by "the black channel".

"tanning of america" was some step-n-fetch type chit.

Well on two episodes it did, but this gave a more detailed telling of the overall story of Hip Hop. BET's overall is the winner of the two.

Very well done. Definitely not The Tanning of America

I watched Tanning of America.... It's a shame, they should of called it "The Illusion of conclusion." It's basically chronicling how we were given the illusion of progression within society, with the aid of the entertainment industry.

part 1 & 2 were very good for the most part. especially part 1.

part 3 was ehhh. hit-or-miss.

part 4 was garbage and got erased.
