and OneManBand, you think some FOX Executive is gonna do a "Rap Idol" on there?...how many regular ass TV shows do you see on FOX where even more than 2 main characters are black?...I watch FOX a lot and there's no shows I can think of besides "HOUSE" and this other one that comes on Friday nights that have any lead black actors...I don't honestly think they'd dedicate an entire season of a show to a genre most peg to be "black music"...unless they determine that people will watch it like craZy and they can damn near control every aspect of it so that the white suburban people aren't letting what their kids see on TV influence them to do bad things then I don't think they would...if rap in general was in a better place and off all that 50CENT "let's all be gangstas" shit then MAYBE they'd be willing to do it, but in my opinion of how I see television and percievetelevision eXecutives to be, I highly doubt it'd ever happen on a major non-cable network...
