![]() “Any kid up at 3 o’clock in the morning, their biggest problem is not BET,” he said. Stephen Hill, a senior vice president for BET, said “Uncut” is for adult eyes only - a disclaimer runs before the naughty videos air. The show started in September 2000, and airs Wednesday through Friday at 3 a.m. I didn’t even know they could do that on TV.” “What they’re doing now it’s kind of like soft porn. “Some of it is getting really distasteful - it’s like giving it a bad taste, it’s really exploiting women,” he says. In Nelly’s video, he swipes a credit card between a women’s buttocks.Įven Big Boi of OutKast - an avid strip-clubber who had a stripper pole built into his house - has been taken aback by some of the content. Close-ups are reserved not for faces, but for voluptuous posteriors. They typically feature full-figured black women dirty dancing at a frenetic pace. (MTV played it, but only in the early morning hours.)īut the videos on “BET’s Uncut” make Madonna seem as tame as Clay Aiken. Madonna’s “Erotica” video from 1992 featured the singer completely naked, obscured only by strategically placed black bars. There were topless women on Motley Crue’s 1987 video “Girls, Girls, Girls,” which was recently featured on an uncensored rock videos DVD from Interscope. So 'Uncut,’ they don’t let us play the lyrics, but they let us do videos however we want to do it, so, it’s another outlet for us.”Įxplicit videos aren’t exclusive to rap. “It’s almost like the other videos are like foreplay and the uncut videos are the act themselves,” says video director Nzingha Stewart, a woman who has directed clips for artists ranging from ODB to Common to Joss Stone.Īnother outlet for artists“We all want to see videos uncut,” says music producer Jermaine Dupri, who makes a cameo appearance in Nelly’s “Tip Drill.” “We hate making clean versions - I do. And more outlets are growing for those who want to see more - or less - than a bikini. Now, they’re bringing them directly to television, through places like “BET Uncut” and the Playboy network. And these days, everyone from Snoop Dogg to Lil’ Jon to G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks are promoting videos that are actually X-rated.īefore, artists were mostly making sexually oriented material for the underground market - providing them to strip clubs, or selling them as part of videos or DVDs. Tupac Shakur’s “How Do You Want It” video in 1996 featured real porn stars (although they didn’t have sex on camera). Campbell’s early ’90s videos had bikinied women doing the butt-jiggle when “dirty dancing” was considered shocking. In the hip-hop world, sex has long been part of that expression. “It gives an artist a chance to express themselves a little bit more.” I think it’s a helluva promotional tool,” said Luther “Luke” Campbell of 2 Live Crew fame, widely considered the godfather of scandalous music videos. Later, the women simulate sex acts with themselves. And in Nelly’s “Tip Drill” video, women shake so wildly that bikini bottoms pop off, and a posse of leering men grab various body parts. There’s Ludacris’ “Booty Poppin”’ video, featuring close-ups of jiggling posteriors as women take it all off in a strip club. ![]() I wonder where the chick in the gold and the other chick in the black lace are at now.While outright nudity is blurred out, the clips still contain enough sexual content to make R.

Keep in mind, there was no youtube back then ( ) so we couldn't just go online and watch it. So we all huddled up and watch it on the gym's TV/VCR where we watch game tape during practice and shyt. One of the niiggas taped it and brought it to school. I remember when this first came out on BET uncut and word started to spread about it. What were the people around you saying about this video? Where were you when you first saw this video?ģ.
