Similar to what Eminem had to go through in the past, many people found it to be an oxymoron that Harlow, although a huge presence in the hip-hop world with tons of support from the Black community, was nominated for awards given to Black people for their excellence in the arts. Heres what Lorel had to say:  He shouldnt be nominated  its called Black Entertainment Television. Imma say it again; Black Entertainment Television. The point of the matter is, we used to not be invited to no award shows, so we had to create our own to acknowledge the talent in our community. [sic]  Of course, HeadKrack came through with an interesting rebuttal himself. Is he not rapping better than a large percentage of dudes who, quote-on-quote, can rap?  Angie Ang put things in perspective in a good way as well. Peep where she stands on the topic:  To bring it back to BET though, its also about Black excellence and Black music. I do think that Jack Harlow, while he may not be Black, like Krack said hes making Black music. He also seems to respect the culture.  Simply put, they each come through with strong points to defend their respective opinions on the matter, but ultimately we can all agree that WHATS POPPIN was a catchy single that Black people and urban radio surely helped get to #1 on the US Rhythmic chart. Whether it deserved to be nominated for an award in Black excellence, well, lets take some of your theories when it comes to that.
