Well MAINSTREAM BLACK ARTISTS don't respect BET and Soul Train award shows (even though Diddy attends them often). STOP begging for white people's acknowledgment. JayZ and Bey NEED to attend black award shows then maybe the shows will grow with a better budget and up-and-coming artists could rub elbows with the A-listers and receive some gems. STOP BEGGING! SUPPORT YOUR OWN!
