MTV is in the BUSINESS of selling pop ( soda pop, bubble gum popular
culture). MTV can only cater to so many viewer and it seems that those of
us into hiphop and not drip-drop (ie Puffy, MAse, Lil Kim, etc) won't be
represented. I'm madder at BET than MTV. MTV is a white organization out
to get paid. What true hiphop is saying, many of those lil white kids
won't understand. Sad, but true. :) ima
