Let's be real, the only reason BET gave her love around a certain time was because she was walking around with Dennis Rodman all in...um...on her hip
As for the eighties...people were doing A LOT of coke I don't know why they wouldn't play her videos now though. I mean is it even for folk anymore? Most of the personalities are Rican. Telemundo ate BET. | |

They seemed to cut ties with her after she got married to Tommy, the last Ebony feature she did after 94 was in 2006. No love lost anyway, Ebony/Jet lost their mmmph years before its founder died.I would love for Mariah to do Trace feature  | |

Telemundo ate BET. Madonna had sexual affairs with blacks men long before AND after Dennis Rodman. Charles Brakley, Big Daddy Kane, Leon, & even 2pac comes to mind. And WTF does cocaine have to do with this discussion? As a dance-pop band, Duran Duran did some coke on the side with Nile Rodgers, and none of their videos were play on BET!!!

Almost all those dudes and Dennis were right around the same time, and again she was flaunting it. [Edited 4/7/08 10:54am] | |

FWIW, BET played the hell out of "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over." IIRC, it reached #2 on the Video Soul countdown. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

daPrettyman said: horatio said: madonna should go on 106 & park I agree... Though I think she may have some difficulty understanding Roxi and Terrance (most people do....including myself). My goodness, if you ever needed proof of the failure of our educational system, they'd be exhibits 1 and 1a. Donnie Simpson would weep; 20 years ago, they wouldn't have been qualified to rewind the VHS's, much less get on camera. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

i thought we dismissed this idea and concluded that classical music is to thank for the conception of 'rock n roll' | |

It's frustrating to know that these people are products of the American educational system. They both act like they are hood rats. I know that Roxi isn't. I know she is educated (I worked with her when she first got started in Dallas). She wasn't that "ghetto" sounding when I first met her. She was always the kind of person that is focused on her career. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
