BET has Beef with Rihanna by Knickie Duchatellier
S
o it seems our friend Rihanna has gotten herself in trouble with BET as of late. Apparently the folks over at BET have been outraged, or at least they say they are, and this is due to numerous viewer complaints over her recent video for “Man Down”. Evidently the gruesome nature of the video is considered deplorable to the delicate viewing taste of those who watch BET. Yes, the people who vote for Wacka Flacka to be on the top 10 count down on 106 and Park have taken umbrage to the idea that Rihanna shoots a man in her video. Not just any man mind you, a man who is implied to have sexually assaulted her, but they weren’t mad at the rapist action. No, they’re pissed that she would condone the murder of a man during peek viewing hours. Seriously BET viewers, of all the content aired this is what has your panties in a bunch. You have got to be kidding. Less you recall the most family friendly videos of “Tip Drill” and other such brands of misogyny, but those are ok. Fact is, there is far more worse content and images portrayed on the Viacom owned network than that of Rihanna half-naked gunning a man down in broad day light. Truth be told, most of the imagery on BET has left much to be desired. Women are often reduced to sex things; and just because you bleep the word, doesn’t mean that folks aren’t aware that the girls are being referred to as a canine or lady of the night. BET, if you’re going to start calling out Rihanna for gun violence, I say you stop airing “Baby Boy” every day; a movie that obviously shows murder, rape, drug dealing, infidelity, prostitution and horrid acting. They say pick your battles for a reason Robert L. Johnson; that could be because your ill equipped for a debate of what is supposedly acceptable behavior, especially to the so-called impressionable minds of teenagers. savannah

Ok
now this topic may be a lil touchy but who cares here we go. For those that may not be up on current underground artists about to blow and such but there are two specific ones that i would like to address that are sticking out like a sore thumb in the game right now. 50 Tyson 18-year-old rapper from Minneapolis whose claim to fame is a youtube video that went stupid viral had had people across the nation saying “I aint gonna lie man Im 50 Tyson” As I begin watching his video I initially laughed at the horrible rhyme scheme bad lyrics and limited vocab, not to mention its all shot in his bathroom while he’s holding his camera phone. My thoughts were “This Kid can’t be for real” but I couldn’t stop watching and from the 12 million views he had I knew I couldn’t be the only one. After clicking on another one of his videos and taking a closer look I realized something is definitely wrong with this boy and all of a sudden felt kinda bad for laughing. But little did I know 50 suffers from autism. On April 15th, he released his debut album, “50 Tyson Presents the Rhythm of Autism, Volume 1.” Every year he plans to release an album during autism month and I hope to inspire people living with Autism and their families to pursue their goals because having Autism should not stop them from becoming who

they want to be. Now the question is will 50 Tyson ever be accepted into the rap fraternity? Now on the other hand we have Lil B a.k.a. “The BasedGod” rapper out of Cali has been raising eyebrows in the hip hop community. Lil B gained massive popularity through the use of social media Web sites. He created over 155 MySpace pages in order to promote his music and spread his brand of being “The BasedGod” (taking the Soulja Boy route I guess). He recorded over 1,500 tracks as of July 2010, including hits “Wonton Soup,” and “I’m God.” But his proclaimed love for the gay community is what really makes this young fella stick out. Titles such as “Pretty Bitch” and “Im Gay” have brought the rapper danger to his life by receiving death threats about his movement. Although he is “heterosexual”, he says the title is a message of support to the LGBT community. Referring to the alternative definition of gay, he says he is gay because he is happy. Well Lil B that’s all well and good but Ive listened to a couple of mixtapes and just like the 50Tyson situation I was like this dude has to be playing with me. I have yet to listen to a Lil B song that made sense but this guy has soo many diehard fans its crazy. So I guess I say to all of this if Lil B and 50Tyson were the last ones to be picked on your Hip Hop all-star team and you had to pick one, which one would you pick The autistic rapper with a cause or the “Pretty Bitch”?
