Yes. It started as something positive for blacks. Where we could showcase our music (since the other music channels at the time refused to play a majority of our videos), see strong positive images of our selves, and watch specials about how to better ourselves as a people. Unfortunately it has deteriorated into booty shaking girls in music videos with crap artists, a place to show a bunch of reruns,and a gossip rag. Oh well I guess

Gladys Knight has!! Gladys almost had Mariah shot for winning back in the mid 90s.

I'm guessing Paul Wall is popular on BET, that's why.
