Comedian Katt Williams was suppose to host the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta this past weekend. But he was a NO SHOW. T-Pain had to take over as the host of the show. We tried to contact Katt Williams reps, but nobody has given us a straight answer. We hear from a “good source” that Katt and BET production managers got into a heated argument as to the direction of the award show. Katt Williams wanted the show to be a lot like last years in which he hosted, but BET wanted to take it a different route, so Katt Williams pulled out LAST MINUTE leaving BET scrambling to find another host. So they picked T-Pain? (more…)

The Parents Television Council (PTC), the Enough is Enough Campaign for Corporate Responsibility, the National Congress of Black Women, and Industry Ears were very happy that BET decided to boot off  “Rap City.”      

PTC and Enough is Enough Campaign’s recently did a study of daytime music video programming from BET and MTV and the result as of March 2008 indicated that children who watched BET’s “Rap City” and “106 & Park” and MTV’s “Sucker Free” were bombarded with adult content which were sexual, violent, profane or obscene once every 38 seconds.        

Check out the official statement by PTC President Tim Winter; Enough is Enough Campaign Founder Dr. Delman Coates; National Congress of Black Women Chair Dr. E. Faye Williams; and Industry Ears Co-Founder Paul Porter:

“We are heartened by the recent changes at BET, and we are gratified that our collective efforts were a catalyst for this positive change. It is apparent that our voices were heard by the public, by the corporate sponsors who underwrite television programming and by BET network executives.  Parents across this country want a cessation of marketing harmful, graphic and offensive images to children.  But let us be clear about our goal: we are not trying to get a particular show cancelled or a particular executive fired.  Rather, our goal is a reduction in the harmful and offensive messages on BET and MTV programming – especially when the programs are targeted at children.  We have called for the networks to take responsibility for their products, and this program’s cancellation is evidence of a step in the right direction.”

What do you think about the videos that are shown on music channels now? Do you think Rap City needed to be taken off the air? Leave us your thoughts!
