Strip clubs and sensationalism have been in hip-hop’s DNA for a long, long time, and BET played its part by rolling its late night hip-hop video show, BET Uncut, showcasing some of hottest and rawest videos from your daily rotation. It’s also home to Nelly’s epic classic “Tip Drill,” a cut that every thug and pre-pubescent youngster had on VHS for obvious reasons.
On Tuesday (Aug. 11), BET Uncut will make its return after the series finale of The Game. More than just a hub for booty-shaking visuals, it served as an outlet for underground artists and up-and-comers to showcase their explicit visuals before yelling “Wooorrrrlllllddddstaaaarrrrrr!!!!!” was even a thing.
