The debaters got together to discuss the recent nominees for the BET Awards Best International Act: UK.
The nominations are as follows:
Wretch 32
Estelle
Sway
Emeli Sande
Labrinth
The debaters discussed who they felt deserved to be nominated and with the lack of the representation of the grime genre, @DJLoganSama gives his opinion on the matter.
…
Did I hear correctly? Did Jump Off regular Poet call DJ Logan Sama ( Caucasian guy looking like he just stepped out of Top Gun the movie) “a real nigga”???
*rubs temples*
Can we please just stop the madness people!
Anyway Emeli Sande will take home this award.
Your thoughts please?

So no one said it’s just BET involving the UK acts purely for UK fans and UK media recognition. It isnt about who will appeal to America. I’ll be surprised if the winner collects the award from the stand and makes a speech. More time, they announce it on the red carpet and tell the UK viewers lol. Well, judging by the ciphers and previous awards.
They have an International Act: Africa award too. It’s all free promo. Americans still won’t care, but we will thank them like it’s a blessing from God, UK urban industry experts will say “[insert winner] has blown in America”… Bun the illusions man, its free promo
Well said.
They never televise the catagory or the international ciphers for the US audience
It’s unfortunate that we don’t get to see the winner of the UK acts. This has been going on for years now. Sad…but you can change it by writing… There is and always have been power in numbers. It’s also sad that there is such a disconnect between Black Americans and Black British people. But there is hope if we just unite. BET award are whack!! But i do watch them anyway… There has not been an UK artist that i know of..,.that many Blacks here know about… SAD…… I was pissed about not seeing the UK cypher last year….
