pretty obvious that he doesn't know what goes on on BET or he'd easily see the satire. And even if you don't understand it you could at least be a respectful and objective interviewer but instead he was being an asshole. You don't deserve your job sir.
It reached it's target audience and did it's job. The packaging is the same as all the other rap videos and other degenerate shit that's shown on BET daily but the message behind it isn't 'fuck bitches and get drunk" or something along those lines. The only surprising thing viewers found in that video was the positive message and the audience had to actually think about what crap they'd been watching on a normal basis to get to the point where they'd be surprised by "read a book"s message.
I can't believe this idiot "kids don't understand satire". What a moron. Maybe he was dumb at 11 or 12 . My 12 year old daughter understands it just fine, maybe because she read some mother fucking books.
I should say too, at the very end, Bomani's right. The fact that people came out and started a fuss saying, "Do we want kids to see this," means that the mission was starting to get accomplished. That was the entire point, even if it wasn't the way they thought it'd work.
I'm seeing a lot of comments about "the reporter ain't black" and shit. Why does being a belligerent dumbass mean he isn't "black"? Personality and wisdom don't care about color, and vice versa. the cultures are different, but culture isn't really a color either (aka R-A-B's point).
I see this in schools too. The African-American kid who does his homework and reads gets picked on as "not being black". It's like saying Obama isn't black -- it's stupid, wrong, and why the hell does it matter?
ooh but a bay bay can be on bet with girls shaking they behinds smh the media cracks me up all they want is kids to be fantasized about this nonsense they put on tv but u will never hear them argue about britney spears stripping naked in front of the tv screen i tell you this country is so backwards it dont even make sense but the thing they should of not had in the video was all the cussing it wouldve been a better message without all the curse words that was in that song they made and thebooty
CNN-Control Negroes(Niggas)Now? Convert the Negroe Nation? Categorize Niggers Nationally? Am I hitting the nail on the head? On second thought black people don't watch the news(what they chose to tell you mixed with lies,but thats to long so i shortened it)they'd rather watch carmelo and la la and shaq's ex wife
trust , that reporter would never talk to white ppl that way. look how he treats his own ppl. like their stupid and ignorant , just the way whites treat blacks. SMH. thats sad
uncle tom nigga,, he keeps show because white people watch it,, even if he liked it,, he cant,, not on tv,,,, comon,, drink water,, read books,, brush your teeth,, buy land,,hhhhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,tv is hell,, sellll,,and buy,,, it seems this world cares more about the negative,, not the positive,,,,,,, im native american,,,,
This reporter, let's just call him "Tom," is just mistakenly assuming that all people of color get up, brush their teeth, wear deodorant, buy land, and read books like he does. Get a clue, get a clue, get a goddamn clue!!
"We have given you EXACTLY what you wanted!" Yes you have given some creative guys the chance to tell misguided black youth how to make something of themselves.
At first a black youth will laugh and then, if he has the insight to see the satire will ask himself: "Do I read books and DO the adults around me buy land/businesses?
WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MOST OF YOU DUMB NIGGAS ARE ATTACKING THE REPORTER AND GIVING THE OTHER GUY A FREE PASS....NO WONDER WHY OUR RACE IS ON THE BOTTOM
He did this to get under peoples skin? Duh. Making fun of the hip hop lifestyle. I have to agree, that reporter is a fucking moron. Spare me the fake outrage.
no offense to yankees but your media is so screwed up. and im embarassed that the european media looks up to yours... the reporter is just nitpicking that one fucking scene from the video which is maybe a bit controversial with the songs meaning but FUCK! i'll be as retarded as he is and make a conclusion that he actually approves of all the actually explicit material on MTV etc. which is visible to kids 24/7
When I was eight, I watched Gundam Wing and fully appreciated its context. I think kids these days are more than capable of appreciating satire- there's just not much incentive to do so when you're eleven. Now, BOOM!, here's incentive.
Whoops. You can't show that songs that tell people to brush their teeth and wearing deodorant...but you can show them the other songs that promote brushing teeth with jack and wearing skimpy clothing...that also use the same level of language. Thanks CNN!
@eaterofcandy The reporter was too opinionated, but he was right. The way they packaged this song was all wrong. No one listened to their message because the imagery and curse words were so overwhelming. They failed miserably in their mission. People took this video as a joke because it looked like that.

@whateverman181 I disagree. i feel like the cursewords and imagery help to get the message across more strongly. most of the time when it comes to ads that try to support positive things like reading, no one listens to them because theyre too "goody goody". the fact that this video took things that appear in popular media already and then spun them around to promote a positive message is incredibly effective, because kids will look at it and think "read a mutha fuickin book. huh. thats cool."

IF the video had been geared towards 12 year olds, I could see their point, but the kids watching this are teenagers, and they can work out the satire. This interviewer is fail.
Yes, I am a AA woman. I see they did this is a fun way to SADLY get the attention of our community, IT worked. If they would put it in PLAIN music, like on a Kanye West in a good way, It probably would get played every so often. It was in a JOKINGLY way and they still get bashed? Kind of shows you cannot win for loosing. I first seen this it was midnight when kids were in the bed, years ago. Now kids stay up more often than anything but the parents point blame on everyone else.
So let me get this straight. It's ok for kids to see blacks to kill each other, and for that duckfucker Taronteno to use the word Nigga every minute in his movies. But to tell blacks to take care of themselves. That wrong? Rappers have been exploiting women's bodies for year. But a cartoon gets them up set. Bullshit!

What cracks me up is that the reporter is friggin BLACK!! What ever happened to impartiality? Is he mad that the animator is telling the truth? I mean, I guess he can't relate since from his behavior, he's acting like some suburban-raised, conservative, up-and-proper, bougie prick! I thought it was clever and the point of the animation was spot on. The reporter should lose his job, he got way too emotional for a reporter and he's a dickhead.
man, that is a smart dude. why people attack this guy, the video is funny and it gets the point in. the reporter is a fuckin joke. i would love to punch that guy.
never watching CNN again i thought fox was bad only news channel im watching now is MSNBC fuck u CNN and fuck u fox the
P.S. reporter is such an asshole i want his name so i can complain and get his ass fired that guy deserves to be homeless lose all his money and be fucking miserable for the rest of his life
I can't believe the black interviewer was all mad about the video. God, what a fucking sellout to white racist culture. So it's okay to teach young black boys to treat their fellow girls like cum dumpsters, convince them the only manly pursuits in life are drugs, rap or basketball, and to be violent? It's not okay to tell black kids there's a better life out there? Okay, whatever asshole. Inb4 black hater, I'm white.
The outrage is completely misplaced. The real concern is the possibility that children are absorbing the messages of crunk rap: when faced with messages that we actually want kids to hear (such as "brush your goddamned teeth) it forces us to acknowledge all the shit we don't want them listening to.
@justoocut3 well....thats what his name actually is. Plies said he has a tight grip on the game like some plies (his pronounciation of the word pliers).
I really liked the video and it sends a good message and the images were entertaining. This reporter doesn't understand that you need to catch the viewer's attention to get them to listen to the message. He's not interested in what the future generation is learning as is, he really shouldn't have pushed his selfish opinions over an interview.
I am African American and I don't think this song and video is offensive because it's the truth. Maybe this was the only way this man could get the audiences attention.
@militaMem3 Hey now, CNN has some saving grace. Anderson Cooper reports for CNN. And I mean he actually "reports.' Not like the dickhead you saw on this video screaming at the animator.
@belias360 Yeah no. Cooper is opinionated too. Anderson doesn't just report the news he has an opinion on everything. Not only that he sometimes particpates and becomes the news himself. CNN has been going down in quality for a long time.
WTF, stupid reporter, whats he sayin kids dont get satire, im a kid, and satire an sarcasm is a part of everyday life! and at 1:28 - 1:32 HAHAHHAhAHA lol he said it as it is, he prob liked it, hahaha, "with the big booty, with the big booty balck woman bouncin up and down" !!
This is fucking mind blowing. what am i watching. What. It encouraged fiscal and personal responsibility in order to solve problems in inner city ghettos. Remember "buy some land, fuck spinning rims"? Are you trying to tell me that's bad advice? this insane.
compared to some stuff on tv, to focus in on this video is absolutely absurd and sad, this video is like pg to some stuff, and like, even the message behind the video has great morale values behind it, children listening and watching to it can learn off it and really be better people, fuck that shit, this is fucking retarded.
@Cute185 Ok I'm not black but that is disrespectful period, learn where to put your words, I bet you hate it when people talk a bunch of crap about you so dont do it on here, heck dont do it period, I'll admit the song is not the best and I do not support provacative language and all that but its life just live with it, btw half of my friends are black and are as smart as most college students
He was being unprofessional and hostile. I understand he wanted to stir up some debate so he could get some strong opinions from everyone, but he came off as a complete twat.
The video was clever and entertaining and it had a good message, how is any of that a bad thing?
The parents and black guy from CNN are bought niggas. I applaud the creator of this song and video. The music industry is trash, so the creator of the song sunk to their level with a positive message and this clown from CNN tries to berate the man. Give me a break. How dare you try to attack this person trying to deliver a positive message. What world does host of CNN live in? This CNN hose has always been a joke. If parents were being parents and not friends, then the issue won't exist.
... i can't believe that anyone would attack this.
i mean, do they even know what kind of fucked up shit kids listen to today? they listen to shit that has the same language and imagery used in read a book, which is why they used it.
i mean, how do you teach babies to read? you don't put them in a classroom and a teacher righting on a chalkboard, you give them colorful pictures and simple words, stuff that they relate too.
its the same concept, just more modern and pointed towards teens.
This is hilarious. People imitate what they see on TV. If they see some thugnificent rapper flashing his "Piece" and slapping asses, then people are gonna imitate that. If they see some guy rappin about getting a higher education, and being clean, then they are gonna imitate that. You cannot tell me that the song is any worse than what kids are listening to today.
And further more - this isn't a kids video, duh! They're talking about buying land, for goodness sake. This video is more aimed towards preteens and teens - and that age group is already watching rap videos anyway. They're not watching Sesame Street or Blues Clues anymore because guess what? Those shows aren't realistic.
Wtf are these guys talking about? That video was awesome! It was real and had a realistic message. Kids watch these booty-shakin rap videos all the time, at least this one has a message.
who is this dude (black at that) so tenaciously attacking this video which clearly is trying to be positive, and satirizes the negative messages being sent out through a lot of mainstream rap?
What the f**k? Really???? Why is he attacking those guys! He's a f*cking idiot. CLEARLY he never watched BET before. 106 and Park shows EVERYTHING the cartoon shows but its not a cartoon its real: Spinning Rims, Booty's shaking, etc. This is on BET all day everyday. Its on TV in general. It simply is a parody. Cartoons are not always for children because if that was the case all children should watch Adult Swim.
striparella, the movie cool world, Jessica Rabbit. The only reason this song is bashed is because it's a hard lesson taught by men who knew the tools would work. It's easier to punish the teacher who paddles the child, than punish the child because he is chooses not to learn.
its hilarious when they cut to Sell Out Bitch #2 his mic is so much louder than everyone else that it begins to get distorted. I hope the two CNN shills were embarrassed for this broadcast.
This song is brilliant in that it is wrapped up for the people that listen to the current genre of rap, which is mostly about banging chick after dirty-ass chick, doing drugs and being in gangs. This song has nothing but positive messages! Honestly, do you think it'd be half as popular if it was a country song? I don't think so!
Wow, I cannot believe this video was attacked. Of course it's not meant for kids, and neither is most of the programming on BET, hell, most of the programming on any given television network! And just because all of the cartoon characters from the video were black doesn't mean the message should be exclusively for black people, people of all races need to read books, raise their goddamn kids, drink water, brush their goddamn teeth, and wear some deodorant!
The interviewer is rude and condescending. He talked over the others on a regular basis, in an abortive attempt to get them riled up. NONE of the other gentlemen (and that term solidly applies to all three) took the bait. The epitome of rudeness is when he said "...I can turn off the mic..." Really? To what end? I saw this and called my kids in specifically to watch it. I think it's hilarious. I think it's great. I think it got its message across. Thank you for posting it!
The black reporter is a part of the mainstream media which is controlled by the government. And the government doesn't want to see black people coming up. They want blacks to be uneducated, to join gangs to kill each other off, to have drug and crime ridden neighborhoods, to go to prison. He was just obeying his puppet masters. The govt tricks blacks into thinking they're here to help them and then fuck them when elected. Search YouTube for "Prodigy Of Mobb Deep Speaks On Ron Paul And Obama".
I dont see how its racist. Whats shown in the cartoon is exactly what is shown in the videos. Its hilarious to those who have common sense, in that an education is better than material wealth. I think the director said it best. "Fix the Problem" Its a shame that more people dont understand the message and therefore they find it offensive
I loved the video in question. I think often times humor, satire specifically, can be a tool to help people view aspects of society in a different light. I think it's an important message.
Also animation does not equal made for kids. The amount of animated adult humor on American television should be a good sign of this.
There was a national testof peoples I.Q.'s and whatmusic theylistened to.
Classical Music listeners had the highest I.Q.
Lil Wayne fans had the lowest.
The song in question, I beleave is a satire of this fact, saying you should read a book, not worry about drinking, smoking, and doing drugs, if you want a better life.
i hate cnn they are always rasist an judgmental they have people on there show to make a fool of them,disrespect them,an cut them off they never want to listen ughhh
This is sad on all levels

So let me get this straight. It's ok for blacks to kill each other, and for that duckfucker Taronteno to use the word Nigga every minute in his movies. But to the blacks to take care of themselves. That wrong? Rappers have been exploiting women's bodies for year. But a cartoon gets them up set. Bullshit!

What cracks me up is that the reporter is friggin BLACK!! What ever happened to impartiality? Is he mad that the animator is telling the truth? I mean, I guess he can't relate since from his behavior, he's acting like some suburban-raised, conservative, up-and-proper, bougie prick! I thought it was clever and the point of the animation was spot on. The reporter should lose his job, he got way too emotional for a reporter and he's a dickhead.

I can't believe the black interviewer was all mad about the video. God, what a fucking sellout to white racist culture. So it's okay to teach young black boys to treat their fellow girls like cum dumpsters, convince them the only manly pursuits in life are drugs, rap or basketball, and to be violent? It's not okay to tell black kids there's a better life out there? Okay, whatever asshole. Inb4 black hater, I'm white.

The outrage is completely misplaced. The real concern is the possibility that children are absorbing the messages of crunk rap: when faced with messages that we actually want kids to hear (such as "brush your goddamned teeth) it forces us to acknowledge all the shit we don't want them listening to.

I really liked the video and it sends a good message and the images were entertaining. This reporter doesn't understand that you need to catch the viewer's attention to get them to listen to the message. He's not interested in what the future generation is learning as is, he really shouldn't have pushed his selfish opinions over an interview.

i mean, do they even know what kind of fucked up shit kids listen to today? they listen to shit that has the same language and imagery used in read a book, which is why they used it.
i mean, how do you teach babies to read? you don't put them in a classroom and a teacher righting on a chalkboard, you give them colorful pictures and simple words, stuff that they relate too.
its the same concept, just more modern and pointed towards teens.

And further more - this isn't a kids video, duh! They're talking about buying land, for goodness sake.

Those shows aren't realistic.

Its on TV in general. It simply is a parody. Cartoons are not always for children because if that was the case all children should watch Adult Swim.

striparella, the movie cool world, Jessica Rabbit. The only reason this song is bashed is because it's a hard lesson taught by men who knew the tools would work. It's easier to punish the teacher who paddles the child, than punish the child because he is chooses not to learn.

This song is brilliant in that it is wrapped up for the people that listen to the current genre of rap, which is mostly about banging chick after dirty-ass chick, doing drugs and being in gangs. This song has nothing but positive messages! Honestly, do you think it'd be half as popular if it was a country song? I don't think so!

Wow, I cannot believe this video was attacked. Of course it's not meant for kids, and neither is most of the programming on BET, hell, most of the programming on any given television network! And just because all of the cartoon characters from the video were black doesn't mean the message should be exclusively for black people, people of all races need to read books, raise their goddamn kids, drink water, brush their goddamn teeth, and wear some deodorant!

The interviewer is rude and condescending. He talked over the others on a regular basis, in an abortive attempt to get them riled up. NONE of the other gentlemen (and that term solidly applies to all three) took the bait. The epitome of rudeness is when he said "...I can turn off the mic..." Really? To what end? I saw this and called my kids in specifically to watch it. I think it's hilarious. I think it's great. I think it got its message across. Thank you for posting it!

The black reporter is a part of the mainstream media which is controlled by the government. And the government doesn't want to see black people coming up. They want blacks to be uneducated, to join gangs to kill each other off, to have drug and crime ridden neighborhoods, to go to prison. He was just obeying his puppet masters. The govt tricks blacks into thinking they're here to help them and then fuck them when elected. Search YouTube for "Prodigy Of Mobb Deep Speaks On Ron Paul And Obama".

I dont see how its racist. Whats shown in the cartoon is exactly what is shown in the videos. Its hilarious to those who have common sense, in that an education is better than material wealth.

I loved the video in question. I think often times humor, satire specifically, can be a tool to help people view aspects of society in a different light. I think it's an important message.
Also animation does not equal made for kids. The amount of animated adult humor on American television should be a good sign of this.
