Personally, award shows are trash. It just seem like the performances are so common, lack luster & repetitive. Years ago some ppl literally wanted to go to award shows. Now some ppl just are glad they can't...!! Celebrities probably like " I can't believe I paid this to go to this boring show. "
The ad money is probably getting spent on stuff that makes money. Hiphop Awards is a net loss for them but they keep doing it because it’s part of BETs history but they’re done with pouring money into it.
I use to watch BET damn near everyday back when they had Rap City, Comic View, Teen Summit, Video Soul with Donnie Simpson then Sherry Carter, The Source Awards, BET Uncut, Access Granted, 106 n Park. I haven't watched BET since those iconic shows went off the air. I still try to catch the BET Awards, but miss most of them by accident.
Not true the show is bad because bet doesn’t try to make it better. There’s old talent that they could always tap into but they continuously dropping the ball
@@getsomemoney2433 the ogs aren't gonna draw in viewership tho...i agree a show would work with them but this gen is very disrespectful and dismissive of those that came before them snd and it shows in their lack of talent, stage presence and performance.
There’s talent. They choose to pander to the lowest common denominator audience. It’s an AWARD SHOW. In theory, it’s supposed to honor and celebrate the most prominent and prestigious members of the genre. In execution, they only honor the most prominent, or popular, acts. It doesn’t look to shine a light on the independent rap scene so we’re really just watching a popularity contest unfold with that show.
Low key back in the day hip hop was hated. I think the overseers are pulling the plug on it. When they are done NOBODY will be remembered as a legend smh ... High key it hurts
Because most of these rapoers are talking about the same thing. Guns, drugs, women...and then the videos are the same, a bunch of dudes with money bulging from the pockets and waiving guns around.
You got sexy red you got Lotto you got ice spice you got sweetie no talent all is talking about twerking and bending over and licking and all that old kind of crap just unnecessary ain't nothing like there's no r&B there's no hip hop there's nothing it's all trash it's all internet
Because niggas grew up. The hip hop landscape right now reminds me of a school bus of middle schoolers all competing over who can yell the loudest. All the antics, the agendas, the deterioration of fan to rapper relations, corporate greed… shit don’t hit the same no more. All that behavior is childish and most people don’t got time for that convoluted garbage.
Ngl BET did it to themselves. They constantly disrespected the artist that brought in views for years to there network. So now that those artists are gone BET awards & BET HIP HOP awards has gone to sh!t.
A prime example was when they had Karreuche talk about Blue Ivy's hair. They disrespected Nicki Minaj when Cardi won the Grammy. They lost Nicki and the Barbz before that but their tweet put it over the top.
I think the last BET AWARDS I really watched and enjoyed were when Rick James and Teena Marie performed high and drunk😂😂😂 and the last HipHop awards I watched was the one with the Kdot and TDE cypher
It's because of the lack of talent. These paid for awards are causing people to not watch these shows. That's the bottom line. If people watch, the advertisers will come regardless. But if you are propping up trash artists who have these fraudulent streams and sales that are forced on us, no one will watch.
Which is blasphemy….. if it was JAY-z they would’ve been all over it 😡…. These dudes don’t like Nas so I wouldn’t expect them to cover anything he does…. 🤷🏽
New artists no longer need the awards shows to become popular due to social media and record labels are only investing in artists that are already popping online.
People don’t watch anymore because the music it’s designed to honor is trash. The cyphers which made this show unique can’t function anymore. The rappers now, suck. So the people out there that defend this new age hip hop, this shows people do not care. Sales are down? Oh yea cause the music sucks. Get this disposable trash ass music outta here. Bring real hip hop back.
ISH is 100% correct. The Artist themselves don’t participate. Let’s be honest, the Artist themselves don’t show up (legends / old and new acts). We do it to ourselves, not keeping our programs relevant. Instead, we’ll show-up for everyone else but ourselves. People keep saying “let’s make our own”. We have our own, we just need to support it.
I stopped watching when FREAKING JACK HARLOW GOT NOMINATED FOR A BET AWARD. I’ll repeat, a white guy, JACK HARLOW GOT NOMINATED FOR A BLACK ENTERTAINMENT AWARD!!
@@dawb86 Oh my God. I forgot about her! That was even WORSE. At least Jack Harlow can actually rap. She was a straight fraud. I’ll never forget that time she went on Sway and gave one of the worst freestyle performances I’ve ever scene. That chick couldn’t rap to save her life. She was the DEFINITION of a culture vulture.
BET has been owned by yts/Viacom for over 20 years now. Sad state of affairs for sure. And WTF is a yt passing latino (fat joe) hosting these award shows?
The irony of it all… isn’t this what record execs do to artists in a way but worse, at least with mags back in the day it was a mutually beneficial relationship. People actually read Hip Hop magazines
I rolled out long ago, after BET sold out. One of the first things they did was cancel Teen Summit. Dead giveaway as far as the direction that they wanted to head in. And boyyyyy did they keep heading in that direction. Smh
This ain’t bet fault , Hip Hop don’t even support Hip Hop. The artist don’t show up , and the people know that. That’s why it declines every year. Hell salut to bet for trying to keep the thing going. At least they care enough to do that. We are our own enemy every time
Fair enough, but they also didn’t grow the budget with the show. They still film the BET awards in an auditorium. Low budgets won’t get you the big artist. You gotta add some prestige.
You got it twisted, it's the other way around. The talent stopped showing up bc the show was whack, not the other way around. Black ppl dont support BET for a REASON
@@2tearsinabucketpodcast707 because blacks don’t support each other. They won’t come to the black award shows but they’ll sit up with them white folks at the Grammys.
im from vegas and literally had no fucking clue they were having the bet awards here lol the lakers vs warriors preseason game was the same day and it was at the bigger arena which means it was definitely the bigger attraction
Music award shows stopped being important abt 3-4 years ago. Idk if it’s because we get older and realize what we like isn’t abt what others think or it’s really just gotten that bad in popular music. The feminism wave killed a lot of people from watching too. Contrary to popular belief we rather good artist and good music over ass shaking and no talent.
No, the rise of social media and online personalities means the young crowd no longer look at musicians like they used to. They need to do the BET online personality awards, not just Hop Hop music. The traditional concept is DONE!
No BAD music and artists with no substance killed it, you blame feminism for twerking? Well maybe also blame the constant drugs, sex, flexing, and crime male rappers talk about 99.9% of the time with no actual talent either.
People still checking for the BET awards? I could have sworn people stopped watching BET like 10 years ago just like everyone abandoned MTV. BET is just house of Payne reruns and MTV is Teen Mom and Ridiculousness on repeat. No one goes to either network for anything music
Feels like there's an attack on real hip hop right now. They treatin' it like fast food. It's over saturated more than ever, yet recognized with way less honors...even by one of our supposed main platforms in BET.
Just think that there's people sitting at home and think to themselves "I am in charge of the team that decides who gets awards and who doesn't and I watch these platforms argue over the choices I've made..."
Good take on Mariano as a yankee fan I never experienced stress at end of World Series with Mariano always being there. I was on the edge of my seat lmao
I'll explain it whilst I agree with Joe. As a former Events Manager. Their saving budget & keeping it tight because lets be honest. In today's world, BET is irrelevant because nobody is watching Television anymore due to the fact that the Internet has taken over which has become the new TV. Even though it was also streaming online they could have focused on partnering with Online Streaming companies & social media brands which would have got their ratings more up to generate funds for the next years Awards & so on. As Joe said, its true most Award ceremony's are just using brands to finance their other businesses behind the scenes.
I think the decline is reflective of the overall decline in music. Hiphop, like other genres, has seen its peak already so now the options are hold your spot or go on the decline and with a lack of good mainstream talent to push hiphop in a better direction hiphop is now on a full decline rather than holding its spot. Artists aren’t making money from music and only a few artists are sustaining themselves by touring and merch sales, it’s why they’re whoring themselves out any way they can and now the Hiphop Awards are reflective of how little money is being made overall in music. You can argue that the decline of the Hiphop Awards is also reflective of hiphop possibly returning to another form of its roots as being a niche genre catering to a handful of people. Much like other genres, I don’t see hiphop having too bright of a future. I mean, what does it say about the genre when the artists skip the awards and the only people in attendance, regardless of the venue, are “influencers” or influencer types? Hiphop is current going down the drain like Rock did and there’s no logical reason for BET to pour truck loads of cash into an award show that doesn’t yield positive returns.
Another thing is that they don’t play new artist or show upcoming artist love like they used to back in the day. Now they been having the same people rap and perform the same songs for 10 years. They need fu connect with the younger generation and show love to the new up and coming artist.
It was over for BET after AJ and Free left.
Shiiiid. Way before that.
@@Black____ When the Wife became the owner 😅

When they left, it was over. Terrance and rocsi was OK but man

Award shows suck because the artist suck.

BET does too many commercials to not have a budget to get things done right
Viacom bought it in 2009
They using those acts to squeeze money out and don’t put it back into the network
The ad money is probably getting spent on stuff that makes money. Hiphop Awards is a net loss for them but they keep doing it because it’s part of BETs history but they’re done with pouring money into it.
they are sinking. the ads are barely keeping them afloat. they have to air ads because the content is trash.

Tbh it makes me feel like hiphop Going broke
That’s exactly what’s happening. Hip Hop is dying financially but people are not ready for that conversation
Its not going broke there is little value put on the production. The older original Hip , hop talent has retired from the scene.
