Jasiri X isn’t a fan of BET’s programming, but his plea for them to switch up their style is framed in a much more loving way then you’d expect from someone taking offense at their shows:

This is a open letter to the BET and their CEO Debra Lee. “Dear Debra” is a critical but loving letter exploring the possibilities of Black Entertainment Television. “Dear Debra” was produced by Kai Roberts and directed by Paradise the Arkitech of X-Clan. No ducks were harmed in the making of this video.

Whenever he has time to spare from those efforts he writes (about music, mostly), hosts a radio show and designs graphics for a living. He lives in The Netherlands where he continues to be winning.
