Dear Debra-A Letter to BET

[euniqua74]

let me grab my shovel cuz I AM DIGGING THIS!!!

Great song and message--reminds me of the days before BET went down the drain!!

[sonicscreamingblue]

thumbs up if you think debra lee is messing up big time. b.e.t = ultimate coonery

[DAHOUSERECORDS]

THANKS FOR PUTTING THE TRUTH OUT THERE

[IceManLikeGervin]

That Interviewer really broke down BET to its very last compound- dang. I couldn't have said it better. BET is mind control PSYOPS.

Bufoon Entertainment Television (Tell Lie Vision)

[kevyster]

This is BS. BET promoted every negative Black stereotypefrom 1998-2002. It was taken over in 2003 by Viacom, the programs have become more wholesome so wtf is wrong with the vid's author? I guess everything has to be "Black" no matter how damaging it is. note he has no problem with Bill Maher "I want a Black President". Then again Bill Maher is his slave master

[yummieyummie123]

@kevyster umm jw could it be possible that he's being sarcastic -_-

[sonicscreamingblue]

@kevyster lol@wholesome...have you been livivng under a rock?

[mightyblack1]

2 THUMBZ UPPER!!!

[flyhigh770]

the truth!

[vscales61]

Ha ha, the message in a bottle was funny as hell!

[keeperbooth]

Where can I buy this?

[figebornu]

BET has always been a buffoonish channel allowed to exist to help make Black youth stupid, and haters of themselves. And while today they are owned by Viacom, they continue their mission to marginalize and dumb down (no surprise there).

[umojasound]

Jasiri X = Best videos on the Net. Straight up.

[Dymon159]

Can't believe I'm just now coming across this joint. I'm glad as hell SOMEBODY said it. BET ain't nothing like it used to be. Don't get me wring things change over time, but nothing is worth sacrificing the integrity AND the dignity BET once had. And anybody who don't get this are either lost, or they're that "igniggorant" to the point where they ain't trying to change. That's why BET is hardly on in my family's house. PROTECT THE SEEDS!! BET has turned into "Channel ZERO"!!

[alliehazelangel]

Wow this was powerful, truthful, and beautiful. BET is.... sad now.

[ladyekna]

ok ok ok hold on!! im lost???? seriously!! =]

[creativesld]

I love this letter to Debra Lee. It's so true what BET has become.

[bulletprooftrader]

U MUST STOP WATCH TV !

[bluejay00234]

Who the fuck watches BET anymore? That coon shit is blocked from my TV.

[bearburgh]

its 2010 people white and black is in the past...its all about social classes now.... get it together

[galaxyworldwide877]

Listen Black people...we are never gonna control our fate until we have our own banks, our own control of our economics. Form a lil' coalition with your family, friends, co-workers whoever, put monthly dues into it, incorporate it as a non profit org, and use the account to invest in real estate, stocks,bonds, whatever is earning you profit and interest in your area. Just like we create our own schools in areas where we need them for our kids, create our own banking system. Need help? PM me.

[kuongjah7]

@galaxyworldwide877 now you talking real power

[Ironman26]

Nice video man... Keep doin yo thang! Peace!

[nublackmusic]

great video and great words of wisdom. it's up to us to reclaim our heritage and legacy of greatness. with unity we can do it!

[EXTRABLK]

[realtruthhurts]

@EXTRABLK YOU SAID IT!! I don't either..people ask me, hey you seen that new video..i tell nope! i m not going to spend my time watching it..i don't need that in my life..im about improvement

[2blakandbold]

[mightyblack1]

Debra Lee is just another coon cooning for them white folks at Viacom.Notice how all the worst Reality black show come from Viacom with a bunch of black cussing and acting a damn fool 24/7.What kills me the most,there are black folks over standing up with these white against us.

[2blakandbold]

Nice !

[freakkdiddy]

Positive

[Senator1]

Props

and what happened to Bobby Jones Gospel?

[smartg159]

BET IS A SELL OUT LIKE MTV AND MTV 2

[Mackadoeshez]

The interviewer in the intro told the truth and Debra had the gall to say- that's not true, even though you can tell in her face that she knows what he stated is true!!

[The310life]

nice you killed it

[treasurecat03isme]

this is marvelous! thank you brotha!

[hotknock]

ASA Brother Jasari! May Allah continue to bless you to prosper in gaining the ear of those whom He came to save!

Bro. Leon X

Plz search "dresun" and check out what the Believers in Ottawa, Canada is doing to reach our people!

[successful1555]

Jasiri is the turth and is telling the truth to the teeth of the power that B!

[MVD4MVP]

[DAHOUSERECORDS]

[beautifulblackwomen]

[guitaro5000]

I take back what I said. I think this was well composed. I just had to hear it a few times understand all the connections.

[badaul]

this is a very awsome video keep it up we need more of this

[DoctorKillamassaLOGS]

soft! you think Debra is not happy putting black people down? she's happy! she got money and power that's all that matters her! you are trying to trying to make a devil say thank you! waste of time!

[OneHOODWebTV]

Soft? (Have you seen our other videos?)

You actually think that Jasiri X is talking to Debra Lee?

People are so used to thug music that complex concepts go right over their heads!

Interesting..

[400yearAfricanplan]

Control and Ownership is key guys.Own and control your own media. They understand the lack of self esteem and vulnerability in the black communities so many people give into exploitation to earn a dollar.Network and spend on other black owned banks,advertising,media, you name it and slowly our business community will have enough funds to create, preserve and KEEP our culture with some dignity.

[1inamilliongoddess]

Greetings: Bro Jasiri X this is so beautiful, and so inspiring to me, keep on doing what you do, but, I say do it on your own sponsor yourself, BET is a corporate ran entity. This sister probably does want to change the program, but she cant, she represents the controllers. Nubian people must truly do for self as was taught by the HEM and others. He told us the real work is in the streets, campaign your own agenda, nationwide. Peace Success and Support

[speakaftauvethot]

The owner is jewish yet again?They were heavily involved in slavery,set up and control NAACP,own majority of NBA,Music entertainment. I see a trend that won't stop anytime soon.But hey,if blacks allow it then why not?they have mouths don't they?Like a very famous saying goes 'A closed mouth doesn't get fed' .

[realguttaproductions]

this is some real shit. i like this shit and im a ignorant mufucka. but anybody with a brain gotta respect the bul. im in the 215 holla at e if u need a vid my nig. keep shynin on these phony nigz

[unique74muzik]

[LadiiGTV]

Debra Lee ruined BET; ithink personally..when that guy had her position b4 he resigned &gave it 2her..BET was fiyahh [back in the day] now its like..uuuqhh. FUCK BET; seriously lol--bet sucks so bad now. the only kinda qood thing is 106 & Park...&if BEt changes "THE-GAME" ohh hell naa..datswhen its officially like FUCK BET lmfao. real talk<3 : )

[DJRenee]

Paul Porter hipped me to you via FaceBook...can't wait to learn more about you.....Renee Baton Rouge, LA

[TellemBoutJesus]

Hot! Good Messege, Keep Doing Your Thang. 1

[Meridian83West]

Nice. This reminds me that the one of the first things that Viacom did when it bought BET from Bob Johnson was to fire all the news staff and scrap its news division.

[Rizpektable]

fuck you...

I bet you won't say that "niggers suck" to me in person

because you are a BITCH ASS PUSSY that is afraid of real confrontation so you use the internet...you pussy

[mylargehead]

NIGNOG

[DumbDuck44]

Awesome, but since we're promoting separate but equal, can you help me promote White Entertainment Television?

A dedicated TV station that only white people can be on, to help inspire the white children of America and promote white culture. =)

[OneHOODWebTV]

See FOX

[DumbDuck44]

Uhm, Fox has a lot of non-whites on their shows, including even some all-black ones including the new shows like Brothers and Cleveland to classics like The Cosby Show, Fresh Prince, and COPS.

And its not allowed to be called "White Entertainment Television" with the slogan "Now Thats White", as that would be racist if you reverse the colors. ;)

[Rizpektable]

you sound like an idiot...

[DatChick0018]

I bet u 1 million dollars that i could whip yo ignorant ass like a nigger.

[Steadno]

ill!

[mslady828]

Brilliant. The first time in a LONG time that a hip hop record gave me goosebumps. I wish you the best!

[fista10000]

Great Rap. Conscious and deep lyrics.

Joshua Spencer

[lipnotize]

excellent

[kuongjah7]

masterfully done conscious Black man

[DistrictHeightsPR]

Wow! APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!

[EatinWatermelon]

i hate that beezy, wish I had faith in her.

but f her

[inad316]

ill shit son

one

[Steadno]

BET is black face 9.0!

[lowh79]

I Used to Love H.E.R. '09...dope shit

[KeishaDaNelle]

I love this! And this line: "claimin they freestylin what was ghostwritten for dudes"...is so the industry right know. I'm young, but I know real music....since I've been a child I been down for real lyrics...real music....music that means something. The kids need to be taught what real music is...it kills me that kids get so obsessed with an artist that comes off fun yet there's no meaning or truth in there music if you analyze it. The industry excepts anything now-a-days.

[datmixedkid2396]

i love it love it LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH!!!!!! this is so great in so many ways...

you are very talented and i want to hear more from you...

i feel the same way about BET

[NvrSettle]

This is a great song. I feel this. BET is trash. Corporate took over. BLACK EVIL TELEVISION. F*** Debra Lee!!!

[myklnyt732]

Well said.

[VenessaVB]

TRUTH

[cbmuzik]

fam is on some REAL truth!!!

[dwaynepeterzen]

Intelligence can be entertaining too. BET used to have some shows catering to people who wanted to know about news, authors, music and film depicting life in our communities. Jasirix may not fit the current climate of what BET is today, but if enough people got up to write and voice an opinion, it would be heard.

[YourHeartHere]

That beat was awesome. Very good song. I wish she could see this. It's a shame that money could make you ok with tarnishing your people's image.

[MrDjdownpat]

Keep up the good work.

[MrSpeechTeach]

Good job, Brother Jasiri.

[TheFatMack]

you are the TRUTH fam

[thedrumpro]

yo i wish this was on the tv now

[legacys8haven]

You always do it right Jasiri X. Respect.

[nexlevel5]

This is incredible! I wish this was mainstream music

[gm1love]

excellent!!!! please get at me family. i got 2 videos, search GM THE TRANSITION MIXTAPE. its time for a change brotha. im serious, lets connect. 630.865.3423

1love,

GM

[MSOL225]

Thank you for this video and keep the fire burning...........Ra

[Illmc13]

Wow I've seen your videos in the Rumor Section of Allhiphop but I didn't listen this time I did & you've floored me. Very deep message. Everything you've said I wanted to record but no booth to go to so thank you brother. Keep making this type poetry.

[THUGNERD81]

REAL SHIT I FEEL YOU MANE

[VooDooJuicy]

awesome.

[billydu2u]

U R an extremely talented and introspective person. U R an invaluable asset. keep the faith.

[lavellicious]

simply dope!

[unseenlab]

real talk

[nzinga99]

Jasirix rap is wonderful. I'm sharing this video clip, because he is real and elevating conciousness.

[do41self]

Little silver of the Pinto River!!!!!

[lachon91]

i really like the message ur trying to get across my brother ....stay up

[SacrificeRecords2]

Good job Bro.Jasiri, she is big,but it is so much bigger than her it aint even funny.

[brodawud]

As-Salaam Alaikium my brother this is straight up RAW, keep up the good work

[eyewitness043]

Heartfelt and real, but I don't know why any intelligent Black male would expect BET to portray positive images of African people. That is not the function of house nigger gate keepers like Bob Johnson, Obama ande BET. The reality is actually so bad, not even the rappers want to correctly address it.

Jew-Z aka Sean Carterberg and the rest of the souless brian dead "hip hop community" depend on duming niggaz down cause that's they how they stay "rich" and "on top".

[cmaness]

point taken, but totally undermined by closing with ignorant (and factually incorrect) anti-semitism.

[eyewitness043]

There's Nothing more anti semetic than Zionist Israeli's.

[cmaness]

1. that has nothing to do with BET and 2. that's just fighting ignorance with more ignorance. jay-z is not jewish and this isn't about israel whatsoever. it's about american power politics. both blacks and jews should work together to replace that top 1% which controls the entertainment economy.

[eyewitness043]

When you throw a rock into a wild pack of DOGS, the first K-9 to BARK is the dog who got hit.

Peace to the women and children of Gaza.

Peace to the Palestinian families uner the Racist Torment of the Zionist Regime.

[eyewitness043]

European Jews have traditiionally used Blacks as "cannon fodders" for their social and political "schems".

Any purported "relationship" between "blacks and Jews" is a lie, myth, and misconception.

Read the Book:

"THE SECRET RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BLACKS AND JEWS"

[jamezthompson3]

I agree with you cmaness. Eyewitness043 sounds like this guy named Robert Jr. McClendon who consistently makes anti-semetic and ignorant comments on Davey D's blog. Jasiri X, your video and song is the truth. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of music.

[cannedhuman2000]

Love it! I hope she responds.

[xamse1985]

word!

[ThaHolyChronic]

yo thats gona be dope whoever finds that bottle!!

[PremierLegend]

Hot, clever, wise!!!!

[wandizzle]

C'mon Jasiri Man, you're too much lol. You never dissapoint. May Allah bless you with plenty more years so we can keep getting some of this.

[senistar01]

Fire brother!  Reminds me of a similar attack we've rep'ed too. Stay strong... Keep the hug on. ASA..

[ONEDAVISION]

What the game been missing!

[tahirjahi]

Great lyrics. Great Video. Great Move!

[hstone39]

I like this video. I hope JasiriX know that the letter has now reached her......

I think we have an alien spotted. lol XD

[Sinosure]

Joint's pretty hott!
