Self,
I'm sure most folks know that the 2010 BET Awards aired on Sunday night. My mom and aunt turned it on to watch in the family room while we were having dinner.
I couldn't believe I was watching it. I kept zoning out thinking about the episodes of Boondocks that commented that BET was evil and trying to destroy the African-american community. I don't know how to feel...part of me felt the Boondocks is right...watching this show was madness. At teh same time I am somewhat pleased to know that there those out there honoring our musically talented individuals (not everyone signed with a record label is a musician.) I think realistically I watched about 30 minutes. I saw Queen Latifah open the show, a bit of Alicia Keyes individual performance, and the tribute performances to Prince for his lifetime achievement award. Otherwise I was running for the hills for something else to watch...and that was ABC's "Scoundrels" which I actually like and "The Gates" which is slightly intriguing based on how they have written the 2 episodes I've seen so far...we'll see if "The Gates" can keep my attention.
Anyway did anyone else see the BET Awards, if so what did you think.

I never watch it. Just the highlights. Luved Nicki Minaj's speech which was basically telling Lil Kim to take a seat. I dont know if BET is destroying the black community though lol. Maybe its more like a mirror. Or a Snapshot. Of whats going on right now.
I stopped watching it after they started posting the highlights online lol. I was officially done after last year's mess. On a lighter note, I loved the look on Prince's face when Alicia Keys got on top of the piano.
Vain, a mirror or snapshot...hmm that's interesting!
Moody, YES the look on his face was major!
