Dude take it up with Viacom a white-controlled company and while you are at it. Take it up with them about Logo, and the Spanish networks they own. It is called marketing to a cetain demographic even if BET has so little to do with Black America anymore. | |

this shows you how worthless this award is. prince didnt want to accept the award because they fired his lover tavis smiley. so rather then give this award to someone else who really desvere it they rather give to prince who does not consider himself a black artist and at one point told bet to stop playing his music. | |

I remember when Bob Johnson sold BET to Viacom not too long ago. Honestly, I rarely watch BET anymore. They used to have better programming back in the early 90s. Sadly, I see that station quickly turning into a haven for infomercials. [Edited 6/15/10 10:13am] | |

He really told BET to stop playing his music? Why? 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

Gee, how full of shit can one statement be???
Anyway, BET gets a lot of well-deserved criticism, but the Lifetime Achievement Award they give out every year and the performances that accompany it are one of the few things they get right.
Congrats. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

I'm screaming like a white man over hee-yah! .Because there is thousands aimed at white people. Now with that out the way. i will make sure I will be attending this show. The reason he is just getting it because he declined previously. I'm glad that BET is paying homage since Prince is the only BLACK superstar left after MJ's tragic death last year. He will be there they can't give a Life Time Acheivement Award without him attending..Hopefully its better than MJ's tribute since they have more time to plan it..... This is turning out to be a good Princely summer. Last year this time Prince had already abandoned the Lotusflow3r project.......Congrats princey u deserve it..

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire....15/NE21369 ) (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cg...15/NE21369 ) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire....TWORKSLOGO ) A musical legend, Prince is one of the most talented, successful and prolific musicians ever, producing ten platinum albums, thirty Top 40 singles to this point in his career. His unique, individual and stunningly original musical style broke barriers and has influenced almost every music maker of the past 30 years. Prince's music transcends all generations. Since its inception, the BET AWARDS has given the Lifetime Achievement Award to the most deserving artists in music history. Whitney Houston (2001), Earth Wind & Fire (2002), James Brown (2003), Isley Brothers (2004), Gladys Knight (2005), Chaka Khan (2006), Diana Ross (2007), Al Green (2008), The O'Jays (2009)... and now Prince is inducted into this elite group. "We are humbled that Prince will be our lifetime achievement award recipient," said Stephen G. Hill, President of Programming, Music and Specials. "Genre smasher, virtuoso musician, one of the most emotional singers of all time; words are too weak to describe just what he means to our culture. We have a different kind of tribute planned for him as his unique style deserves a unique honor. Prince is dynamic. Prince is genius. Prince is music."

I believe it was the idea of one of the director's of the "Purple Rain" film to do that in order to attract a much, broader audience. It was about how much money ("$$ ch-ching") they could make off that movie. | |
