Someone please help me understand WTF this is supposed to be? I just saw this and I didn’t know whether to laugh because it’s funny or be angry.
Is this supposed to capture the youth’s interest and make them turn over a new leaf??
With hooks like:
“Read a book. Read a book. Read a muthafuckin’ book”
“Drink some water”, “Brush your teeth”, “Buy some land”, “Take care of your kids”
I tell ya what, this is one of the dumbest, ignorant things I’ve seen BET show yet. And I blame the assholes who allowed this to come into fruition. The concept to voice your opinion is cool, but coming from a ‘ghetto’ stand-point is only going to make the issues at hand seen as light-hearted problems, instead of taking them seriously.
This is a prime example of what f@ke is, this fucking stupid mockery of our culture that they hand delivery to our doorsteps and then the deliveryman expects a generous tip.
If you haven’t noticed I’m beyond disgusted with this video. And I’ve taken it for far more than probably than I should. But it’s summer and kids are home and of course watching MTV & BET and to think that there are some kids watching that laughing and think that it’s cool, just rubs me wrong. Sorry…
See for yourself & tell me what you think/feel…
