I don't remember the last time an acceptance speech made me tear up, this is the kind of vulnerability we need more of as black men. Really long overdue but better now than later!
Mann $hut yo soft azz up with all that emotional $hit 🤣🤣🤣💀
When I try to be vulnerable like that they call me emptional and gay. Guess when u have money it makes the difference. I work hard to everyday most of us 9 to 5 people do just saying
Listen !!!!
True facts
@@JonJon-co3zjit doesn't matter what "they" call you. As long as you know who you are and stand on that with honesty dignity and integrity.
The fact that he used his platform to call for reform while he's being celebrated. He's such a class act❤❤ He deserves it all💐💐💐💐💐💐
Busta's speech represented the original and authentic core of hip hop 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🔥 🔥 🔥
That speech represented our future as humans, if it was applied more throughout every aspect of this world…we could leave this world a better place for our future.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you!
Long over due. 30 plus years of hits and consistency. Now lets give this man his Hollywood walk of Fame Star.
Hear Hear - I know the perfect star to replace..

Glad he got his 💐
And he's style is still relevant to this day
'82-'83 crew knows what it is!!
SUPER FACTS!!!
Busta speech gave me chills. Im so happy they gave him his flowers while he’s still here. He defiantly dropped jewels for the NEW AGE RAPPERS.
I was born with Sickle Cell Disease and my condition causes many long Hospitalizations...often, I am fighting for my Life. When I come home, it is Busta Rhymes' music that I listen to. His music makes me feel alive again. His music gives me the courage and the energy to WANT to live again. Busta Rhymes is a legend and I am so moved to see him being rightly honored in this way.
Much love. Ease a little of the word into your life too. It’s amazing how it mixes so well.
My young cuzn has sickle cell anemia I was reading Prodigy’s (MobbDeep) book on how he controlled his with changing his diet & lifestyle.. whatever helps.. strengthen to you bcuz I seen what that can do physically & emotionally
God bless you abundantly
Keep up the fight. 💜
Love and light to you❤
Probably the best acceptance speech I’ve ever heard. Busta is always top tier

Facts 🎉❤👏
I had the honor of meeting Busta when I interviewed him on a red carpet back in the day out in Westwood, CA. He honestly hugged me like I knew him and when I told him how much he meant to me, he was so humble. I'll never forget that day! A true legend!!!
I remember that from back then
He seems real kind ❤

Same here💯
Ich beneide sie für diese tolle Erinnerung! ❤

This really meant the world to me. Finally the “GLUE” of Hip-Hop finally gets his just due. Congrats Icon, you are connected to every major moment and figure in the history of hip-hop.
For years I’ve been listening to this man. And I’ve struggled so hard to find an appropriate and deserving phrase that describes him. And I think I finally found that phrase from you. “The Glue to Hiphop”. Thanks.

Spoken Like A True Elder!!! Thank You Busta Rhymes…..Congratulations
SALUTE!!!
So glad BET let him speak his mind this long. Busta def got the wisdom and the powerful messages behind him and he needed this moment
He needs to make an autobiographical documentary. Nas did it, I really wanna hear from Bustah about the game, PRE-INTERNET, and how GRIT and survival skills pays OFF like it did and continues to do him! He needs to write books and do documentaries because his life is amazing and what he did to get here and still be all types of relevance is RARE.
THIS 🙌🏾
Same, I'm so glad they let him have the time he needed to get to his point. Cuz that was an incredible point!
Yep on Busta writing a BOOK! Come on Busta, share that wisdom, Sir!
Facts on facts
Never heard anyone say anything bad about BUSTA. That's saying a lot in todays world where everyone is caught being up to no good. Congrats my guy!!!!! You deserve this

Busta Rhymes and Spliff been together for decades! That's loyalty. Being Jamaican, I'm so proud of Busta and his accomplishments. He deserves it!
Never thought I’d see Busta cry. Takes courage to be that transparent with the crowd 👏🏽 👏🏽
Busta truly deserved this moment 💯
Need to get his emotional azz off stage with that boring azz speech 💀
When you’re at a certain age you could care less what people think. You say what you mean and mean what you say. Rapper or not.

"They are scared if we get together" ...is facts! When the new school get it, they'll see more love than they can imagine!!!
Not gonna lie one of the best acceptance speeches I've seen in a very long time, not just in hip-hop, but in general.
That moment he hugged Spliff Star I had tears in my eyes 😢 their chemistry in music videos is untouchable ❤❤❤ South Africa🇿🇦

Seeing Busta getting real emotional and hearing his voice crack about Spiff Star, is true friendship right there.
His influence on the culture is undeniable as is his artistry and presence. Hes having an amazing career. ❤
His influence?? When the last time you heard an artist name Busta as an influence? Me, never.
@@kingintef5017 😂 be honest. There’s a lot of people that copy that Busta flow or who rate him as one of their influence. Even if they don’t sound like him he’s made several classic hip hop tracks that people still reference now. Plus he has shown other artists how innovative hip hop can be with his videos, style and sound.

@@bri310 relevant artist only
@@bri310 I'm not trying to hate but I don't know anyone who BOUGHT bustas albums
This was long overdue, and very well deserved🥺🙏
booo
Busta is correct, he waited entirely too long for this but better late than never. Been a fan since day 1. Best speech ever in my opinion! Truly one of the best to ever touch a mic! The killing, the robbing, the hate, the jealousy is at an all time high. Praying for us all!
They gave him his moment. Love this. He said he had 2 minutes and the OG took his time and gave us 13 minutes of greatness.
Brought me to tears because I've been a Busta fan since day one. To see how far he's come and finally get his overdue flowers is amazing. I love hearing him speak his wisdom and truth. A true legend!
Buster is the greatest Walmart Big Bin artist of all time, right up there with ICE-T. 😂🤣
Congratulations Busta, well deserved sir! You're one of the few hip hop artists whose music I really enjoyed from the 90s. Raw talent and true lyricists.
umm
He is so underrated. Congratulations 🍾 you deserve it!!
Not underrated. Just not celebrated enough…
*Definitely not underrated everyone knows busta Ryhmes a beast*
He not underrated
Learn words.
y'all and this underrated 🤦🏿♂️
The word doesn't even fit the person's career at all.
My taste in music would have been very different if this man's music didn't come into my life at a young age,I saluted him for earning this very special award for all that he did for hip hop.
Nobody touching Kanye West or Drake or me !! We lead this generation

Yes sir
To hear those roar die down, and pick back up, then seeing busta smile was an amazing moment. This dude pushed out some great music throughout the years and stayed relevant amongst the new generation. To be inspired by an artist whose as wholesome as busta is very heartwarming.
Exactly what happened from my end right now 😊
Seeing the repeat of the event
I remember when he was a part of The Leaders of the New School and they looked like kids just having fun...he climbed the ranks with them but they let him go and then....that unforgettable breakout performance on SCENARIO...that was all she wrote after that. This award was a long time coming. Busta IS Hip Hop, and we love this dude for life.
I could of swore he left them. I mean he did say it’s better to not split the money. But whatever 🤷♂️
@@absolute7250He just said they kicked him out 🤷🏾♀️
@@absolute7250facts I homes think that was foul how he said they kicked him out.
I think he got kicked out but made it look like he left. I know he had major problems with Charlie Brown. But then they all showed up on his first album. 🤷🏻♂️
I remember when they broke up with him he was on the MTV Raps so they did it on the air he was so hurt and confused but he came back full force and look at him todayb🖖🏾🖖🏾🖖🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It was so heart warming seeing him tear up from all the emotion.
Congrats to busta 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾👐🏾

Busta Rhymes is Built DIFFERENT!!💪🏿👊🏿🎤🖤😎
True definition of an artist, definitely deserves his flowers
Okay. I’m not the only one that feels this way! Busta is that loyal “big cousin” that’s always there! Wether it’s supporting other artists, attending parties, giving advice, pullin’ up to the studio, or jus chillin. I’m so proud that he got his flowers. Well deserved.♉️💯
I agree with you 💯
I felt that speech. Had me tearing up. This long overdue but I'm glad he got his flowers. Respect bus, thank you for helping me grow up with your music. Salute.
Busta will forever be immortalized.
He is the definition of perseverance and class. 30+ yrs of pure 🔥
We pay homage to a pillar of the culture. Give him his flowers...✊
This has me in TEARS😭🥺💗 We love you OG‼️‼️
This acceptance speech from a rapper had to be #1. You could truly hear the love from his heart directed to the ones that help it happen for him. Busta had attendees in the crowed crying. congratulations to one of the legends of hip hop.
Woo Haa! He got them ALL IN CHECK!!!! He definitely deserves his Lifetime achievement award and I can’t wait to hear his new album that’s out for this summer 💚
Right !
U right, pretty lady. 🌷Dm me
Nobody wanna hear that tra$h azz music 💀
One of the best lifetime achievements honorees and that speech was 💪🏾
Busta and Mary j blige and queen Latifah. Was the best.😊
He’s almost 40 yrs deep in his career and still got the gift & respect !!!!
23yrs of Bet awards Every lifetime achievement recipient been a R&B act from yesteryear (respectfully)
On HIPHOPS 50th anniversary the first time I’ve seen a rapper get a lifetime achievement on BET ITS BUSTA RHYMES nobody else deserves it more above all others ….beyond overdue very satisfying to see 💐 💐 💐….dropping 💎’s along the way
Busta said, “Secure to WIN”! Continue to empower our young entertainers. I love you Busta!!!Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
Well deserved, King. I remember him telling a story about his son who passed away & that being a big motivator for him. Someone asked him what’s your plan B & he said “There is no plan B. This HAS to work.” That stuck with me. He’s always just had great energy & radiates love. 💕
So he originally had 7?
@@katiesmith2985 idk if he had 7 or if the one who passed away is the one who isn’t there. The child passed away in the womb prior to the birth of his oldest. 😔
Seeing Busta Rhymes cry showing his love for hip-hop and and life it self and the fans that supported him to get the Lifetime Achievement Award when he thought that something like this was never really possible for him he never thought that he would come this far ,, that touched my heart 👊
The culture needed this moment so much! True Greatness. Excellence at the highest level. If MJ was the Jordan of music videos, Busta n Missy are the splash brothers…they changed the game. This is well deserved, and maybe a bit overdue.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🤴🏿✊🏿
They need to couple more songs together tho
Every once in a blue moon I come back to watch BET awards, this was one of those must see year 🎉🎉🎉🎉 50yrs
Glad I watched it this time too
I’m going to watch it today. Thank you.
This is a long time coming. Album sales, videos, ability, presence…Busta is part of the foundation of the game
Classic monumental speech...I listened heard...& soked in every word🙌🏿🎉
Need to get his emotional azz off stage with that boring azz speech 💀
He deserves more than this award! Busta is a legend
People don't even understand how powerful that speech was. How much knowledge and gems he just dropped. I'm over here crying with him. We love you Busta ❤️❤️❤️
By far the best award acceptance speech I’ve listened to from a rapper. Hands down.
Busta Rhymes is a legend through and through and he thoroughly deserves this honor. Big W for the culture.
That energy has been there since the beginning of his career. Kilt every beat he’s been on. We’ll said sir. Get your flowers and keep spreading love and positivity.
I've been mesmerized by this man since the first time I heard him. The skill, the flow, the charisma. Rapper of excellent calibre. Congratulations Busta, you deserve every award and acclaim.
Finally! Busta Rhymes is a true culture carrier of hip hop. He is the definition of an elder and OG. Not in being old but being a curator and mentor of Culture. He selflessly promotes and supports everyone, so I am happy that he is finally getting his just due.
Absolutely, well said
