In recent years, BET has aired a TV special in association with the charity Black Girls Rock. Throughout this TV special, many of the leading black women in the music industry perform. In 2011, I argue it is time for BET to acknowledge the independent talents of artists such as Syleena Johnson and Tweet, who have collaborated on a song entitled 'Angry Girl' for Syleena's new album 'Chapter V: Underrated', released Sept. 27. In the 2010 TV special, an overwhelming majority of the performers were signed to major labels. But what about the equally as talented, under-promoted independent artist? Shouldn't BET acknowledge them too?

I just looked at the screen and saw the triple digit mark which is honestly wild because when I started this I was just thinking about how much I need to hear that song live. It feels like people actually get it and want the same thing which is just cool because sometimes you send these ideas into the void and feel like you are just shouting into a dark room.

So tired of seeing the same people every single year. Give these ladies the spotlight they earned.

Angry Girl stays on repeat over here. BET needs to stop ignoring independent artists who actually have real skill.

It is sad how they overlook real talent just because someone isnt on a big major label. Syleena is underrated for sure.
