K. Clark: Speaking of pimpin'... VH-1 is back with Flavor of Love... the first reality slave show with Flava Flav.

W. Ketchum III: How many people do you think believe/know that the show is fixed?

K. Clark: It really doesn't matter, as long as there are crack-headish antics that happen every week.

W. Ketchum III: That's true. I really don't like to put down the show, because I have a couple of facets of it that are close to me. For one, Hoopz is from Detroit, and as a Michigander myself, I usually support when I can (she’s fine as hell too, but that’s besides the point). Plus, I respect Public Enemy a lot.

K. Clark: Well, if Hoopz can stay away from Paul Wall, she could be a success story from that show.

W. Ketchum III: But still, Flava Flav is becoming a contender for the worst fall-off in rap history: from one third of a pioneering hip-hop group that raged against the machine, to being another victim of the machine itself, and a laughingstock in hip-hop circles everywhere.

On BET's Uncut getting cut...

W. Ketchum III: Speaking of comedy, did you hear that BET “Uncut” got, well, cut?

K. Clark: Hahaha...Yeah, I heard about it. Cried two tears in a bucket, too. Ultimately, that show was one of the greatest comedies that never got a chance to show its shine to a mainstream audience.

W. Ketchum III: That's true though, I've never laughed so much at music, ass and titties in my entire life. But hey, look on the bright side: at least this makes it look like BET gives a damn about their programming now.

K. Clark: You sure? They did hire Money Mike to host the 1st Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards.

W. Ketchum III: LOL! And the new host of Rap City is pretty bad, too.

K. Clark: Where's J-Nicks when you need him? Oh, wait...He sucked donkey balls, too.

W. Ketchum III: But you can’t forget the BET Awards, that was dope. And, they have the new shows with DMX and Keyshia Cole, and they changed the hosts on 106 & Park. Criticize the moves all you want, but at least they're changing it up a little bit.

W. Ketchum III: (And this is coming from someone who has boycotted BET for years.)

K. Clark: It seems like for every two steps forward that BET takes, they're only accounting for the three-hundred steps backwards.

W. Ketchum III: LOL, well-put.

K. Clark: Right. But again... DMX -- there's a role model for the kids to look up to. He was on 106 & Park the other night and performed his song "uncut" for them. That's really raising the babies, Will.

W. Ketchum III: What'd he do?

K. Clark: He performed like three songs on 106 & Park -- they had to censor all of the stuff. It got so bad that they cut him off and went straight to a video.

W. Ketchum III: But hey, if DMX is good for one thing, it's keeping it real...unless it's with police @ airports  Continued on page 3 »
