BET: Uncut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BET: Uncut was a television program aired by Black Entertainment Television. The music video program contains highly sexualized imagery. Because of its content, the show is rated TV-MA and is accompanied by an on-air message stating that it is not suitable for children under the age of 17. The show airs on Wednesdays through Fridays at 3 a.m. est Though some of the videos are from well-known hip hop artists, most are from lesser-known artists, and the production value of the videos are often quite poor.
While the videos are lightly censored, its content has been the focus of a smattering of controversy. For example, MSNBC has reported that even some hip-hop artists such as Outkast thought the show was distateful. "What they’re doing now it’s kind of like soft porn," the Outkast member is reported to have said. He continued, "I didn’t even know they could do that on TV." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4671829/ ). Likewise, individuals affiliated historically black institutions such as Spelman College and Essence Magazine have publicly stated that the erotic imagery of the show falls outside of acceptable standards. (http://www.newsobserver.com/690/v-print/story/383794.html ). Still, as the MSNBC article shows, these critiques date back at least two years, suggesting that the show has some degree of popularity.
Ironically, the program is followed by televangelist Robert Tilton's Success-N-Life.
Uncut was discontinued by BET. Its last episode aired on July 8, 2006 and was hosted by Jermaine Dupri.
The show has even spawned online versions such as (http://www.GETuncut.com)
formerly www.BETuncut.net.
www.BETuncut.net was forced to change its name as a result of pressure from Black Entertainment Television (BET) after the site gained #1 listing on several prominent search engines including Google and Yahoo. GET:Uncut
