BET: Uncut was a television program that aired on BET from 2001 until 2006. The music video program contained mature content, including highly sexualized imagery. Because of its content, the show was rated TV-MA and accompanied by an on-air message stating that it is not suitable for children under the age of 17. The show aired on Wednesdays through Fridays at 3 a.m. EST. Though some of the videos were from well-known hip hop artists, most were from lesser-known artists, and the production value of the lesser known videos were often quite poor.
Its last episode aired on July 8, 2006 and was hosted by Jermaine Dupri. BET announced the cancellation of the show on July 25, 2006.
Although the videos featured on the show underwent some censorship, the content has sparked considerable debate. Reports from the Associated Press highlight that certain figures within the hip-hop community, including Big Boi from Outkast, have criticized the show for its potentially offensive and overly sexualized nature, likening it to soft pornography. Similarly, representatives from historically black institutions, including Spelman College and Essence Magazine, have expressed concerns that the show's erotic content breaches the boundaries of appropriateness. Despite these controversies, the show has managed to retain a certain level of popularity.
On August 5, 2015, BET announced that Uncut would return, with the first new episode airing the following Tuesday, August 11, at 11:00 PM EDT.
However, when that time came, after a brief teaser intro, BET instead announced that the whole thing was the first prank leading up to the revival of Punk'd the next week, once again reaffirming that Uncut is gone for good.
The show was mentioned by rapper Joe Budden on the first verse his debut single "Pump It Up".List of artists and songs appearing on the show
