BET Sitcom ‘The Game’ Strikes Huge Ratings
So maybe the jokes on BET will slow up a little bit after the success with the premiere episode of their new sitcom “The Game”. BET’s new sitcom “The Game” (a CW sitcom picked up by BET after its cancellation in 2009) premiered Tuesday night to 7.7 million total viewers which makes it the highest-rated show in BET history and one of the biggest premieres in cable history.
I grew up in an era when BET was full of nothing but bad tv shows, bad host, and bad actors. The only bright spot was “Rap City The Basement” and somehow they managed to screw that up too. But thanks to BET’s new management and new blue chip show “The Game”, there maybe hope for the next generation of African American TV watchers to see some decent programming.
The debut success of the game is huge for a few reasons:
1. The 7.7 million viewers makes it competitive with huge established broadcast sitcoms (30 Rock, Cougar Town)
2. Its give BET a blue chip show that allows the network to attract major ad campaigns
3. BET was able to capture a demo that was desperately looking for a TV that represented them. This demo was and still is grossly underserved.
P.S.: BET, please don’t find some crazy unimaginable way to screw this up….. PLEASE…. I’m begging you. Thanks.
Best Online Advertisement of 2010
Every time that I see this youtube promotion it blows my mind on several levels.
1. How did they get Youtube to agree with this idea. Had no clue Youtube would allow something like this
2. Super dope because I would never think a white out company would agree to a bear fucking a hunter in the ass.
3. The legs (longevity) that this campaign has because of all the follow up videos is incredible

New Music: Kanye West x Jay-Z “H.A.M.”
Kanye and Jay-Z finally drop the lead single to their new colab album “Watch The Throne”. 19 year old super producer joins them, what do you think?
UPDATE:
So supposedly a couple of lines from Jay-Z’s verse are directed at a few music moguls in the Hip Hop game. Get the full story here. And get the Forbes breakdown of Jay-Z’s money talk in the song.
New Music: Snoop Dogg x Wiz Khalifa “That Good”
Wiz Khalifa is positioning himself nice to become the next Snoop Dogg. And the big homie Snoop gives him the cosign with the new smoking anthem “That Good”. I don’t smoke weed but if I did, this would be my theme song.
Man of The Year: Kanye West
If anyone deserves this type of recognition its Kanye. To fall on his face the way he did at the 2009 MTV Music Awards (honestly I don’t think what he did was that bad) and pick himself up to drop the best album of the year and arguably his career puts him in the drivers seat as the man of the year and possibly one of the greatest rappers of all time. Let’s give a toast to the asshole… Kanye.
