BET Honors Hip Hop Pioneers and Poster Boys

Smh..... Hip hop is dying. Wut a shame.

Lol @ jermaine dupri...with his wack ass beats.....hip hop is being ressurected

Hip-hop ain't got nothing to do with anyone or thing on this award show, really bet on the same level as mtv. Everthing they play all day is whack as hell to hell with bet and this slack ass award show. Hip-hop got a couple of bullet in the belly and the chest and it leaking bad.

F*ck bet and katt williams for helping to exploit hiphop

Man y r yall hating i mean real artist are winning here. Hiphop isn't dying eastcoast hiphop is dying. Tha south is taken ova man and if ur really a hiphop fan u will suppport it. If u dnt like then dnt listen to it. Real talk so deal with it, i agree wit some things isnt real hiphop snap music noway dance music noway. We have real lyricist down here and t.i. Just proved it if u dnt want to c my homeboi wit awards dnt watch tha show or grab a mic and do wat da rest is donig and flop. Keep tha south on top!!!!!!! thanx!

Oh congrads to grandmaster flash! and evry1 else who did thier thang last nite.

Lol aint no one hating]wut people cant lend they opions on the culture ne more w/o being considered a hater? east coast hip hop will never die]i dont care who is hot rite now] its good that the south is shinning yall werk hard and stick together]something that has been lacking in the east for sometime]even the west is werking on building and restoring relations in their hip hop community] but theres trash coming from all sides] theres no balance to supplement all the commericalism thas played on the meida out lets. Hip hop is being exploited by greedy corporations- and a new generation is being programmed by these companies on this garbage they pushing]but like all things in life-theres a season]and a change will come! --a toast to hip hop- the way she use to be!! to hip hop.................]

Why does "our" art form have to be the only reigonal genre? i have no idea. Kinda like sports...cause i dont care whut nobody is doing....i bleed black and gold (saints) i wouldnt care if they went 0-100. But imma still enjoy all the other games and give credit when its due. I think its the same thing with up north cats.....they bleed that hip hop shyt. But i bled geto boys, no limit, cash money etc. But i still gave jay, nas, bigs and the rest cred. And i'll ride geto boys before jay back then. Idk. Southside is something serious....fa'real....serious.

We do fam] and hip hop dont have to be regional-east west south]we;re all under that hip hop umbrella..... Jus want to see hip hop with some balance pop commerical/and underground!

And dont forget the global hip hop scene is serious too] real hip hop forever!~

Ti wins best album!?!?...garbage!!! his cd was good but its definitely not better than tha carter 2. Jeezy & kanye even had better albums in my opinion.lupe disappointed me though,hes better on a mixtape.i dunno y he was even nominated,even though he is the only hip hop artist on this list (not rap...theres a difference bet,i thought u of all ppl would know then again this comin from a channel that promotes nuttin but garbage). Mvp ges to t.i. Too!?!??! in the words of nas' upcoming album "hip hop is dead"..well put nasir.but then again f*ck award shows.biggup to grandmaster flash for winning. Props to j dupri outta repsect even though most of his artists r degrading hip hop.hes gotta come up wit new beats. Snapping ur fingers and doin "follow-the-leader" type dances isnt hip hop. As for best movie, it should go to snoop.my cuz from the states got me that boss'n up dvd its a straight up good hood movie.u could tell snoop had fun with it.get rich or die tryin was good too even thouh im not really a big fan of 50 nowadays.i have to respect him for his ambition and hunger though.in the end,im not wasting my time in watching this award show.every day i lose faith in bet. Hip hop needs to be saved.jah bless.

But on the real cense.....who put it yall mynd that we hate whut yall do? or that hip hop is dead? it aint to me...maybe because i aint from up there i cant feel the same....hip hop has just went back underground to me. But they do have cats over saturating the game with a million bootlegs a million djays, a million labels.....a trillion bosses....a million clicks...a million free styles. Its like when you try to franchise the "moms and pops"....or when a kentucky cat tries to open a gumbo shop. Or you go to another state and they have a mardi gras....they cant do it right. My point is...to many ppl doing it for the money, without perfecting their craft. Its too many "im not a rapper, im a hustler" attitudes flying around. I say, if you want it back to the real....cut out the criminal element outta hip hop, and bring back the censorship (trust me).....alot of cats are selling off of shock value. Started with nwa...now you have one cat wanting to top another. One dude says hes gonna kill a brother, the next says hes gonna cut his head off and screw his mother and kids. One dude is riding 20's the next is riding 26's on a ufo. Its getting comical. But music wise..i love the direction of the production and the deejays.

When ti wins mvp of hip-hop then you know that bet is retarded.....id rather watch the grammys then that piece of bullsh*t....if i was flash i wouldnt have accepted the award and gave a big F*ck you to everyone associated with bet

Why is everyone screaming hip hop is dead?? its very much alive to me, it just has a sock in its mouth, bet is a disgrace to hip hop i love my black people and anything that promotes our people im all for it but bet has to go!! im serious its time that someone cut that sh*t off the air....vh1.....a station that wanted nuthin to do with hip hop when it 1st started puts together a real hip hop show, bet puts together some half-a** show and call it a hip hop show??? its a mutha f*ckin shame!! t.i. Is ma boi now, but how in the f*ck does he win mvp and hip hop album of the year!?!?! come on are u serious?? urban legend was much better than king trap musik was much better to...he tried way to hard on the king album it was so mediocre, and all this blamin the south for the death of hip hop is so . For real whats with all the regionalism, does it really matter?? garbage comes from all over. And why does jd win best producer?? i dont even think he's that good of a producer...f*ckin punk ass midget!!

Garbage does come from all over] hip hop to me is dying because the core values are being sucked out by corp greed. Im from new york and ima say i aint blaming the south]cuz just like the east and west]yall doing wut yall know] who i blame is corp amer for exploiting the art for thier personal greed!

Hip hop is dead cats in the south has nothing to say t.i is cool but he a poster boy

Im sorry F*ck that hip hop show yung joc was nominated for all the damn categories and that n*gga openly sucks..... But t.i winnin makes me happy bout that and jermaine dupri aint that bad wit beats he makes club joints. Respect it for what it is and stop randomly overusin hip hop is dead. Because it aint.

Hip hop is dying vause of the whack south and the broken new york plus stinkage of the west new comer

Not sayin ppl cant voice their opinion but alot of ppl saying that tha south is tha cause for hip hop is dying and that shouldnt be tha cause. I agree wit alot of u by saying hip hop is being xploited for tha money. Garbage is coming from allover east south west hell midwest. B/c its not all about tha lyricist anymore more of who has wat and wat i jst bought. I was tryn to make tha point that its alot of negative fingers pointing towards tha south b/c of snap music songs about grills and nothing but cars. So im wit u on all of dat t.i. Is a great artist but king was not album of tha year being from louisiana tha carter 2 should have got it. Thanx to those who are seeing tha real talents that tha south has and looking past all tha b/s that is snap music.i give cred to east coast and west dat are tha real artist. Tha whole region is grindin and have their own outlook on things but hey all cred isnt being giving to evry region. Keep tha south on top!!!!!!!!

Hip hop done dead already] all im waiting for is one of the P*ss* cat dolls to come out wit a rap album]feat j-timberlake on a single rappin]or k-fed's album to go multi platinum]then for him to knock nas or jay- out the box lyrically-pretty soon the snap finger/ dance rap wil reign supreme over lyrics]and then it will be all over] lol

To say hip hop is dead is to say that immortal technquie, krs, souls of mischeif, talib, mf doom, little brother, ghostface, the roots, nas, lupe, murs, rass kass, mos def, danger mouse, 9th wonder, the heiro's, and the other cats underground aint active.....it just aint marketable. Like you said, most of the acts i mentioned have put out music recently but they aint trying to market a product like rap acts do. They aint selling rims, watches, rims...etc. So "the machine" has no reason to push them. Because at the end of the day "hip hop" is kibbles and bits compaired to the revenue "the machine" is bringing in. They wanna use music to sell something other than records. Like a burger, a watch, a car, rims,a reason to get an ipod, support something bigger than just beats and rhymes. And cense c'mon dawg...we have been here before...remember bone? how cats went crazy and hip hop cats aint like that singing?....or how about das efx? how long did that trend last? or how about dana dane biting slick rick? how many followed? whut about the shiny suits with puff? thug life? da' afros? horror core (rza) witht the grave diggas? man, when i think back....snap music aint that bad compaired to some other trends and fads that came out? hammer...think dawg. Our music is just trendy...the good ones stick...but you have to try it to see if its good or not. Lol. C'mon bruh....jeans with holes in em..all kinds of shyt.

Hip hop has died and the south surely killed it, with it openess about being uneducated barbarians that only like shiney materail and big objects. The south is simple but the midwest do get the basics. We look at ya'll as retarded art, it's nice to see a n*gga dance or be sambo or chicken georgia....in the 1960's the south inspired the nation of black youth without the south we would still be getting oppressed. But now the south's music has taken the place of those cracka's who made fun of us and opressed us mentality. Grow up the fact is the midwest and the north east and west has produced garbage i.e. 50 cent and g-unit along with fat joe commercail albums, detroit's trick trick, the west coast, e-40 bullsh*t hyphie but the south has 75% of the nations garbage minus t.i., outkast, ludacris,scareface, and lil wayne(who has lyricism but talks about the dumbest sh*t on the planet) the south is the toilet of music, you guys are the most pop, you guys support that i'ma hustler not an emcee bullsh*t...if you guys are not emcees why the F*ck are u guys emceeing??!!!!!! that sh*t goes for the sellouts up norteast and the west to...work with illterate motherF*ckas

Man this site terrible wtf it's uncaptailized all my words and mispelled a few purposely

Alot of people always talkin about who's garbage and the south aint sh*t and all that. But that's all you doin is talkin. If you can do better, then step up, and kill all this hatin bullsh*t. This is the entertainment business and if some people are entertained by snap music, t.i, or sh*t,even the chicken noodle soup, then that's their perroragtive. Hip hop will surely be dead if all we had to listen to was alot of that up north bullsh*t. T.i was the biggest thing in 06 and he deserves his awards

Fed up you obviously crazy...the north is way beyond some bullsh*t and to complex it has your little mind perplexed stretched into thinking that i won't do better.... Well if the hip hop life rests on the shoulders of men like me then i will surely svae hip hop that's why i'm in music school getting a production degree

Killa! yo y'all know that im the best rapper ever hands down even tho i chew penises and lick scrotums... Yo hear this new line off my new cd, "shade of black" out on 12/04/2006. "unh, check it drivin in the scooby-doo / pass the fat-where you at? /// im stealin waffles, clappin rugers / im the best, smokin bats" yo my sh*t is klassik... Look for killa season 2 wher i do more, , fakeass sh*t with my digital camera... Killa, out!!!

I agree w/ certifiedsouthernboi eastcoast rap is on the verge of dying hopefully j can breath some life into them...the midwest is gone especially since kanye's g.o.o.d music label was dropped from sony hopefully common will grap the ring for the midwest and the game is doing it for the westcoast. I think the south has a lot to say and is proving it w/ t.i., jeezy, chamillionaire, rick ross etc. If hip hop is dying, its happening everywhere but in tha south.

I want to comment on the artist known as g. From nothin' to lose.. I'm not sure, if he is with nothin' to lose anymore, but he is one of the realest artist out there in the detroit scene right now. G. A.k.a. G. G.u.t.t.a. (pronounced g dot gutta) dropped a compliation album with nothin' ii lose featuring a song with him and bobby brown called ghetto life. G. G.u.t.t.a. Also dropped a song called don't make me that hit 25 on the billboard charts... It's funny because, i was downtown at hockeytown that night the fight went down with styles p, and it was g.g.u.t.t.a. From nothin' to lose who beat the sh*t out of styles p and a couple of his bodyguards that night... Trick trick mentioned it a couple of times and gave g. His props for holding him and the good squad that night... Trick trick mentioned it in the mass appeal article and in the illest magazine article... Since that night of the beat down, like a real n*gga should do... I've noticed that g. G.u.t.t.a. Has not mentioned too much about that night and let trick trick take all of the shine for the beat down... Where the realness in that trick trick? anyway, i came across a website: .n2lmusic, where you can see more on the artist known as g. A.k.a g.g.u.t.t.a. I also see that g. Performed with trick trick and the goon squad at the mt. Clemens concert with obie trice and paradime.. From what i hear, g. Blazed the stage... Giving props to g. G.u.t.t.a.,,, keep dropping them blazin lyrics... You are definitely one of the realest artist in detroit

Thanks for the information on g. From nothin' ii lose a.k.a. G.g.u.t.t.a... I will be checking out for his music... That's what's up... Your girl.. The sexydime... Holla.

Hip hop was dead cuz of dat whack snap music sh*t from atlanta and that whack sh*t tat rap about cars, money, jewelry and sh*t, that sh*t got no point to the songs..the reason why ppl like dat sh*t its cuz of the beat? come on now, the beat? hip hop is music and these "bubblegum" rappers are ruining it. Take an example: "crank dat soulja boy" yeah its a new dance but does everybody in the u.s. Gotta give a F*ck about soulja boy? point: they care about the song, not the artist..thats why ppl out here hate the political rappers, hardcore, and raw rappers out in the midwest...if u see dem videos wit rappers showin off jewelry and money and sh*t, they playin around wit it.. Thats the trap of hip hop right there. Rappers are sellouts these days cuz they here in the rap game for the money, not for love and not cuz of "street credibility", u dont need street cred to be famous, you are what you are
