[phatphuck]

good to see

 

[BlackZilla]

Deserves it. Much love to the God MC.

 

[Jerz-2]

uh oh...

This is a well-deserved honor to one of the greatest.

 

[SubLyminalz]

too bad 90% of the people who will be watching wont know who rakim is.

 

[Rakim Allah]

Good 2 hear but it's BET/Viacom...they'll botch it somehow

I'm still waiting on Rakim's Unsung... TVOne.

 

[DaveyDave]

no hate but how did anyone besides run dmc get this award before him especially salt n pepa

they are pioneers/legends in their own right. i agree Ra should have got it before them but they still deserve it

 

[Rakim Allah]

Just one man's opinion.

But even when I was like ten, he just wasn't my guy like that. Not animated enough for me maybe. I think it goes to the Blastmaster,

U mean not enuff c00n

 

[Flav]

Good for the god Ra!

but like people said,he should have one collecting dust already.

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

Salt N Pepa

 

[Artfull Dodger]

Overrated... KRS deserves it.

KRS got it in 2007.......Should they give it to him again this Year

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

lol @ people in here hating on salt-n-pepa.

sounding like a bunch of noob fakkits.

Good 2 hear but it's BET/Viacom...they'll botch it somehow

I'm still waiting on Rakim's Unsung... TVOne.

you shouldve voted. i remember eric b & rakim were a voting option for unsung a couple years ago(and prolly still are). they even had their picture on the commercial.

Yeah, like I keep track of BET awards.

 

[Still Benefited]

Are they going in order of greatness or just who wuz great first....I see nikkas hatin but Cube is better than Rakim and KRS is arguable as well as LL....I wouldn't call it a "travesty" he's just now gettin one...they wuz showin ladies sum love by givin salt n pepa one before him.

Hopefully the awards is good this yr,I don't think I even watched....probaly could just watch last years and I wouldn't miss anything but the cyphers.....and step the beats up on them cyphers nikka,we ain't tryna hear nikkas rappin over old soundin azz boom bap beats in 2012 nikka.....if u don't drop a fukin Lex Luger,Mike Will instrumental for these nikkas to spit over Premier
