confessions of a BET producer
David K. Far-El, former producer for BET’s “Rap City: Tha Basement,” released a series of videos titled “Confessions of a BET producer” on March 9, 2007, the 10-year anniversary of Notorious B.I.G’s death, to “set hip hop free” with “the truth.”
In his series of videos/home-made documentary (who needs a big documentary production when you can record a video of yourself and upload it on MySpace for free? DIY homey!), he touches on a variety of topics including payola and the role of women in BET programming.
On his MySpace page, he writes, “Anything you thought was foul about B.E.T. and the music industry…CONFESSIONS will confirm it for you!”
I’m not sure what his circumstances are as there seems to be no mention of dude on the internets. But whatever, we all know that out of bitterness comes the truth. If you’ve got (a lot of) time, watch the videos below.
