Why does VH1 always have hip-hop shows?

[Mandarin Duck]

But they never played hip-hop songs? Ever? Even when MTV and VH1 actually showed music videos the only ones that got play on VH1 were Eminem's

It's profitable.

I remember the days when they were vehemently again playing hip hop on their station.

My, how they've changed their tune.

That's the thing tho. They really haven't.
They will give buffoons a show but when they do play music videos (early in the morning) If it isn't Eminem or Pitbull spitting a guest verse on an EDM song it gets no play.

Because black people are more entertaining than whites.

The only black person that got burn on vh1 was Tina Turner. shyt was a soft rock station

I remember I made the thread about "Why VH1 stop doing Hip-Hop Honors"....that was the only best one....I think after the Dirty South honors is what killed them, it was the worst one.


VH1 showing the reality show "Love and Hip-Hop" . American getting retarded every year.

The various hip hop themed shows have brought in a substantial amount of revenue.

They've found their niche.

The other "music" channels (MTV, BET) stopped playing music AND stopped having hip-hop shows.
They're eating good off doing the latter.

They never played Hip-Hop, but they definitely played R&B on VH1.

Sambos bring in ratings.

The Jews at Viacom got hip hop culture and the depiction of blacks in a chokehold.

And other nikkas eat it up and watch it on a weekly basis.

What Hip Hop shows do VH1 have now besides Docs every once in a while??
