The viewer’s grievance was about the slaughtering of chicken in some of the scenes. Last year a complaint came to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission South Africa (BCCSA) about Kwesta’s Spirit music video. If they create videos which are polarizing, it’s usually for their “strong” tone on politics or social issues. I remember first seeing the video on a friend’s computer while in high school, with a grin on my face marvelling at why we never have such house parties when we decide to bunk school.īET Uncut came to an end after many complaints about the show being distasteful and constituting soft porn. Uncut aired from 2001 till 2006, playing mostly Hip Hop videos with gross sexual imagery that had many teenagers risk getting an ass-whipping just to watch their favourite artists, next to some of the finest booty you’ll ever see.Ī slew of explicit Hip Hop videos aired in those five years but nothing was raunchier than Nelly’s Tip Drill which saw dudes in throwback jerseys, du-rags and Air Forces at a house party that probably had three naked women for each fella in the video. I know right, my eyes rolled too.īlack Entertainment Television (BET) designated their late hours to these explicit music videos, in a programme called BET Uncut.
So bad, that MTV would only broadcast the video with an introduction from Jay-Z explaining that it was a metaphorical death, not a real one. It was viewed as something done in bad taste. In the last scene, a defenceless Jigga is shot at multiple times on a sidewalk. Shot in Brooklyn, New York the video depicts life for niggers in the hood and the city. Rapper Jay-Z found himself in some trouble for his 99 Problems video. Be it nudity, unpleasant language or the depiction of violence in a music video-and more. Dirty doesn’t only pertain to women gyrating their rears in front of the camera it is what viewers deem offensive. Artists still make clean versions of their songs for radio and will have the explicit joints on their albums. I grew up in a time where tracks had two versions of the video, the dirty one and the clean version for prime time television. Bar the excitement my body couldn’t hide from seeing erotic scenes, I actually sat there pondering for what seemed like an eternity, on the paucity of X-rated versions of music videos. It was the triple ‘X’ in the title of the video that got my attention. America.I’d like to think I’m writing this after seeing the best video category from this year’s South African Music Awards nomination’s list.But it was rather going through a friend’s external hard drive and coming across 2PAC’s How Do You Want It with the brothers K-Ci & JoJo. It raised discussion about sexism, exploitation, the global effect of hip hop, and even spawned the BET Special: Hip Hop vs. It seems like there was a lot of controversy and fallout from this video and I think it marks a period in time for hip-hop music. They've since broken up and his imprint in the music industry has dwindled. Jermaine Dupri - The video was released during his relationship with Janet Jackson. One of the bathtub dancers (?) - Married and divorced Ruben Studdard Nelly - Still releasing music, although he's never again reached his level of popularity
I believe it came out in 2003, so after almost 10 years where is everybody now? Are the dancers still dancing? Are the rappers still rapping? Here's what we know so far: : It was really the video that brought BET Uncut into the mainstream, and according to some, destroyed Nelly's career. Just watched the Tip Drill video and was reminded of my younger days when this blew my mind.
