The VMA's were a joke this year, they took away almost all the awards that judged the videos themselves, now it's just a popularity contest (more than ever). I remember as a kid I used to be so excited to watch the VMA's. The performances were garbage, the whole show was trashy, and it even seemed low budget.
Dude, I saw the BET Awards this year, they weren't even that bad. It wasn't all about hip-hop and partying, it was very classy, and they payed a lot of homage to older music.
MTV is just trashy.
C'mon though, have you seen MTV Japan's playlist? They play plenty of Western thug rap and emo rock for a Japanese TV channel, but I guess it'd be like that anywhere in the world. At least MTV Japan does play videos, and some very good artists are on their playlists sometimes.
