I can't get past the humor in this. I could joke and hope it's not drawn like graffiti with rap and beat-box music between takes, but I'll refrain. Just thought it was kinda funny and worth sharing.

I don't really know the character other than by name. I'm surprised to learn that there's a TV channel dedicated to "black entertainment" (whatever that's supposed to mean) though, but I guess it makes sense in the context of US culture and history. Anyway, I hope this new series won't be as bad as the cartoons that have been coming out these past few years.

Sadly, it's just as bad as you might imagine.

Really? The description says it's a satirical observation of the current state of hip hop.

That's hilarious, and I love it. No, I don't normally listen to or enjoy rap and hip-hop and r&b and whatever else they're making these days.

I wouldn't undercut the series just because it'll be run on BET. It'll be good for the "black community" to be entertained by something other than some black guy talking about "bitches & hoes" or senselessly killing other black guys in an act of irrational and bigoted hatred, and even if it does have a rap soundtrack I can only imagine it is to pander to BET's viewers.
