She's right about Hip Hop being important to BET, but atleast ten years ago you could see a variety of artist from both the Underground and Mainstream. Now all they do is give exposure to are artist who usually talk about the same thing. I thought Paris (2003), Public Enemy(2005), Mr Lif (2006) put out some well put together albums. But none of which got any "love" from BET..
