Big Ben Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thought you guy's might want a link. I've been hoping for a new Heavy D album and his performance just demolishes so much of today's current climate. I really hope he get's an album out. http://www.bet.com/video/hiphopawards/2011/fullshow/hha-full-s8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turntable Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Dind't Heavy D just release an Album on iTunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes, Heavy D did recently release a new album...more like and EP. It's good but a few tracks are a bit compromised for today's sound. It's still a good album tho.' I was surprised to see that he gained some of that weight back in his performance. He had a good mix of hits but I hated that he rapped OVER the tracks. I loved the dancing and the throw back feel of the performance. LL's acceptance speech and rhymes was ILL!!! Loved it. The Shady 2.0 Cypher was also dope....and funny. I didn't see the rest of the show on TV because I forgot it was on. I tuned in as LL was being honored.

bigted Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 speaking of the bet awards: http://www.islanddefjam.com/artist/news_single.aspx?nid=10269&artistID=7309 Check out LL Cool J accepting his "I Am Hip Hop" award at BET's Hip Hop Awards last night. Read his speech below. My acceptance speech/what I won’t do is try preach/I won’t assume that I am smarter than you and try to teach/What I will do is set an example for you and inspire you to reach for the stars that’s beyond mars that space bars can’t delete/Because without a dream fulfilled your life’s incomplete/A hearst, a limousine without a backseat/the worst, this Usain Bolt without feet/Real life aint Hollywood, it’s Halloween/Every day is trick or treat/It aint a red carpet it’s a bloody sidewalk from the wolves eating red meat/and these spotlights don’t come with money they come with police/Millionaires cry about raising taxes on the elite/they won’t feed us, as they’d rather defeat us/like an aborted fetus/but your greatest feat is to get back up on your feet/Did I mention, life aint a sprint it’s a marathon/Really stressful on your tendons/and with the shape the economy is in today, you better run to the polls like skinny Kenyans/26 miles miles and two hours and three minutes/It wasn’t weeks or months/It took us 400 years to raise the debt limit/So don’t lose faith, there’s a sweet life out there and one day you will taste/And just like any marathon, you must monitor your pace/and watch out for the haters pushing drinks up in your face/maintain your focus through the ups and downs and debates/and when you win your award, make sure you put in a safe place/and be prepared for whatever…just in case.
