BET Awards 2011 vs WET Awards 2012

When it comes to entertaining black people on a platform where anything goes, the award would, unfortunately, have to go to WorldStarHipHop. They’re entertaining, inspiring and poisoning an entire generation at the same time. Shouldn’t they be as credible if not more than BET, to have a show acknowledging those content developers and producers? Damn, I can see it now: WorldStarHipHop Entertains Them Awards 2012, Hosted by Flava Flav w/ an opening perfomance by Odd Future featuring Lil B, ending w/ Pinky awarding Heather Hunter the Lifetime Achievement Award. SMH!
