“Boycott B.E.T” by MA Shalom is a powerful, socially conscious anthem calling out the negative influence of mainstream media on Black youth. The song critiques the way entertainment can distort values, glorify harmful behavior, and misrepresent Black culture, framing it as a “forbidden fruit” that subtly poisons young minds.
Through vivid metaphors—“chemical attack,” “nerve agent in the rhythm”—the lyrics highlight the psychological and cultural damage inflicted by media content that prioritizes spectacle over substance. The track urges listeners to reclaim cultural integrity, protect the next generation, and empower children to rise above deceptive influences.
