EBT Networks feels like their brand is reputable enough to give certain artists the title “Rising Icon”, and so they have partnered with Grey Goose and developed a new series showcasing “urban music’s best and brightest artists” — just remember that they tell lies. A premiere party was thrown in New York last night to coincide with the show’s first episode. Among attendance were Keri Hilson and her Wet Seal wig, The-Dream’s breasts and their suction cup Christina Milian, Ryan Leslie, and some known unknowns. Not one mention of Geisha…bullshit.

Other “rising icons” include Chrisette Michele, Kid Cudi, Wale, and Melanie Fiona.

I bet it would really help these “rising stars” if the channel promoting them actually showed their videos. Fuck outta here with this foolishness. I gave up on BET when they got rids of Hits from the Street, I trust nothing they have to say
