MTV Base has recently changed their advertising campaigns to suit the british youths needs.
We used to be bombarded with american artists and maybe one or two uk artists, which is fair, as R&B and hip hop to my knowledge started out in the USA.
Now when i turn on to base, i see these adverts that pop up, representing UK talent, yet im not seeing talent, im seeing steriotypes, negative steriotypes. black youth (and some white) spitting lyrics which ain't saying nothin. Garage MC's with no real lyrical content, just bragging about what they can do, and what the next man can't do.
There's clips of them making conversation with each other as well, and showing signs of being brainwashed by gangsta rap. Seriously, im just thinkin to myself wtf kinda of influence, is this having on other potentially brainwashed hip hop heads.
Im young just turned 24, and still feel under 19. I wanna know if for one, anyone has seen the change in MTV Base, and two, what do you think about it?
