& so do whites on blk oriented magazines…robin thicke, eminem, timberlake, probably about the same percentage.

& the ones your taking about are ones that been accepted. haley berry, mariah carey, etc… same with whites on blk oriented mags.

& the reason you see hiphop on MTV is because its becoming more mainstream… yrs ago MTV had to ahve a specific show…MTV raps, but not its gotten into the mainstream. & really its because its POP… “popular music”  
you don’t seem much good “non pop” hiphop on MTV

just like you see music by white artists on BET.
