I have to give huge props to BET for the award show last night. That had to be the best award show I’ve ever seen. I hardly skipped any of it on my TiVo, unlike other award shows, which seem to be made to be time-shifted<\/acronym>. The hip-hop tribute was the part that had me on my feet and screaming all kinds of madness at the screen. (They don’t make ’em like that any more, etc.) Flav had me rolling when he snuck in the “mutha-fuck him and John Wayne,” complete with middle finger, and how he was boppin’ to the Isley Brothers. There were so many great performances — Kanye, Rick James & Teena Marie, The Isley Brothers (even Steve Harvey’s introduction of the Isleys was entertaining… mind you this is from a guy who skips everything possible on my TiVo), Mo’Nique’s dance routine, India.Arie’s tribute to Ray Charles, etc. But my favorite part was the “25th anniversary of Hip Hop on wax” performances — The Sugar Hill Gang, Melle Mel (Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5), MC Lyte, Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick, and of course Public Enemy. What’s not to like?<\/p>\n

Is it just me or was it just wrong to have G Unit close the show? That part I did skip over! Ugh!<\/p>\n

If you missed it, it’s airing again next week. Check those listings and set those TiVos! Hopefully they wont edit Rick James saying “I’m Rick James bitch!” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And if you want pictures (bruhs, you DO want to see the pics!) here you go<\/a>.
