But first we honor Marley Marl with an explosive tribute
featuring Rakim and LL Cool J.
Want more music?
Just tell Siri play some hip hop.
They say rap's changed, they want
to know how I feel about it.
You ain't up on time.
[hip hop music]
- From the beginning, DJs have played a fundamental role
in the development of hip hop, dating back to 1973,
when DJ Kool Herc spun at a back-to-school
party in the Bronx.
- That party was a moment that we can look at and go,
it started right here.
- (RAPPING) Salt-N-Pepa's here, and we're in effect
- The DJ was so important in the story of hip hop
because they actually introduced
the crowd to the music.
- Coming up in the '80s and '90s, your local
radio station didn't play West Coast music, down south music.
We were actually breaking the records before the radio
station broke the record.
- I started DJing really early because I
realized that it soothed all tension in the house.
Going from being just a DJ to an actual producer
was a natural progression.
- The significance of the DJ starting
back then to even where the DJ is at today is just amazing.
Like, look at DJ Khaled, DJ Premier, DJ Marley Marl.
I started as a DJ.
Most producers started as DJs.
Timberland started as a DJ.
- I was like, yo, I want to make my own beats.
And then it started from the sampling break beats.
Then it led to-- evolved to something else.
- (RAPPING) Roll out
- I think the role of the DJ-slash-producer is
the backbone of the culture and was
very important to Atlanta becoming
the mecca of hip hop music.
- We're, like, the fuel for the artist,
the fuel for the creatives, and we're, like, the heartbeats.
- They make my sound special, you know,
the melodies, the chords.
When I play 'em on minor keys, I use my sample
more as an instrument.
- Being from the West Coast, we make breezy-ass records that
match the weather, that match the environment, make you want
to jump up and dance the jig.
- (RAPPING) My name is Quik, but you can call me daddy
- It's more important for me to make music
that you feel than that you hear.
- The best thing I ever did was creating
my own identity, original and have a distinct sound.
Make a spectacle every time.
You know, like, be the artist yourself as well.
- (RAPPING) ATL Jacob
You pray for my demons
- Me setting the tone for the next 50 years of hip hop,
I feel like I'm a part of history.
I feel even more motivated.
- The people who paved the way built the legacy,
so I just want to continue it.
- I would love to leave an amazing trail of creativity
and just leave my mark all over the world.
- Now artists are realizing the magic is made in the studio
with the producer.
Because without us, there is no artist.
[applause]
- Hip hop is many things-- self-expression,
creativity, originality, and, most important, authenticity.
When my guy LL created the Rock the Bells Award,
he wanted to acknowledge the artists
who think outside the box, pushing the culture forward.
Tonight, the honorees got that and more.
They're DJs.
They're rappers, business moguls, innovators.
Super-duper producers produce for the biggest artists ever.
And it was a tough time when the world shut down.
And, you know, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland came
together with that verses.
They had 6 million people racing to their phones
to hear hit after hit.
They damn near broke the internet.
That's how you change the game.
That's how you shake the culture.
It's my privilege to present the 2023 Rock the Bells
Cultural Influence Award to my brother, straight out the BX--
I love you, Swizz--
and my brother, Timbo the king.

and it ain't over.
Owned, Black-owned.
Me and Swizz Beatz versus--

- Tim, Tim.
Zoom, zoom, zoom, za, za, za.
I want to dedicate this award to all the producers coming
from nothing, making it into something, to all the
creatives, all of the artists.
And I also want to dedicate this award
to my Ruff Ryder family.
I want to dedicate this award to my brother DMX
because, without all of these foundations,
I wouldn't be where I'm at.
And, you know, like what Tim said,
you know, we own verses again.
We got quiet for a minute, but we going to come back strong
and show y'all what it is.
That wasn't just something for the pandemic.
That's something for the world.
Let's get it.

[cheering, applause]
[instrumental music playing]
- (SINGING) So I typed a text to a girl I used to see--
- Yeah, working with DJ Paul, we did a lot of hits.
This song was originally on a Project Pat
album, Layin Da Smack Down.
The song was called "Choose You."
We produced it for Pat.
We got a call from Pimp C, when he was in jail,
and he was like, man, give me that same beat
that's on that Project Pat album, man.
He said, I want that same beat.
Don't change nothing.
- (SINGING) My [muted] a choosy lover.
Never [muted] without a--
- When he got out of jail, we sent him the beat.
At first, we actually did verses on that song.
And then, when it got close to shoot the video,
Pimp C had told me, he was like, hey, man,
the label didn't clear y'all.
I won't say no names, but somebody in there
was like, well, we don't want that record
to interfere with what we've got going on with "Stay
Fly" and "Poppin' My Collar."
They told us they put OutKast on it.
So I was even more excited.
I was like, well, if we've got OutKast on this, shit,
you know, we're good, you know what I'm saying?
We produced the beat, so, shit.
When I heard the version with OutKast, I was blown away.
To have Pimp C, and Bun B, you know, kings of the South,
you know what I'm saying, and you mix ATL
with Texas and Memphis production,
the biggest record we ever produced.
Legendary.
- (SINGING) Need a real street stalker--
[instrumental music playing]
- Put your hands together for Swizz Beatz and Timbaland!
[applause]
- Got us working tonight.
- Still.
- Shoutout to the producers and DJs.
We love this awards.
To be considered a trailblazer, one must embark on a journey
that no one before has gone before,
to set the path that others follow, creating a new cause
that gets added to the map, giving others after them
a new place to explore and expand.
- Tonight, we honor a trailblazer
in hip hop, every producer's favorite producer.
- Biggie Smalls immortalized him with a line
from "Juicy," "Every Saturday, rap attack, Mr. Magic, Marley
Marl," and he is doing it big, from Queensbridge,
his hometown, setting it off with the Bronx.
He went to war with the Bronx.
I'm from the Bronx.
We felt that.
But the bridge wasn't over.
It was moving forward.
Let's go.
- This is the man who invented sampling in hip hop.
He's a visionary.
He gave birth to me, and Swizz, and to countless others.
The originator, Marley Marl.
[applause]
- Marley Marl was the first hip hop producer.
- He's produced some of the greatest
hip hop beats of all time.
- He set it off for all of us.
- His production was just next-level.
- (SINGING) Thinking of a master plan--
- Hailed as hip hop's first super producer,
Queens-born Marley Marl originally gained recognition
from the prominent DJ Mr. Magic,
making way for the iconic collective, the Juice Crew.
Marley garnered his first hit in 1984,
with Roxanne's "Revenge."
- (SINGING) Well, my name is Roxanne--
- I went up there and just did a freestyle for about seven
minutes, and I remember looking over at Marley,
and he was like, something special is about to happen.
- Marley was the real producer who gave each artist on that
label a different sound.
- (SINGING) He got real mad--
- They knew what they needed.
They needed the Marley Marl vibe,
and it was important for hip hop.
- Marley became a sampling master before we
even knew what sampling was.
- He was a genius at, like, really
finding different drum patterns and different drum sounds.
- He's that much of a master, a sensei,
a swordsman that I didn't even think he was sampling.
- If I could just get the kicks,
the snares, and the hi-hats, I could make my own patterns.
- And I know "Symphony" was, like, the record.
[humming]
- I was just like, oh, my God!
- That was hip hop's first posse cut.
- Marley tapped into everybody's superpower.
- He kind of composed it and caught that moment.
They were about to explode.
- Marley Marl was sitting on a plane on the album cover.
Oh, It was a whole vibe.
- (SINGING) Cars ride by with the--
- Since the '80s, Marley has remained a pioneering voice
in hip hop history, producing enduring classics
such as LL Cool J's double-platinum
album Mama Said Knock You Out.
- The energy that LL had, mixed with Marley's production,
lit a fire under LL to make that album what it was.
- For me and LL, when we used to work together,
it used to be crazy, because we took that vibe from the studio
and put it right on the wax.
- Marley means everything to Black culture.
- He is hip hop.
Like, that's when hip hop, to me, started to elevate.
- He is the main ingredient to the whole thing.
- We all need to thank Marley Marl for uniting hip hop.
- Marley, man, one of the greatest.
What can I say?
He deserves the award because he's [bleep] Marley Marl.
So what are you gonna do about it?
[applause]
His body of work truly a trip through classic records
that birthed a golden era.
- Please welcome BET I Am Hip Hop
Award-recipient Marley Marl.
- (SINGING) Chief Rocka.
Chief Rocka.
Boom shaka laka, yo, here comes the Chief Rocka.
Rock it down.
So jump up off the tip.
You're not my nucca.
For sharper type to battle, make the people say, ooh, aah.
Think I won't curse, I'll break down and say puta.
Hey, madrigon--
[applause]
- Wow!
Yo, I'm gonna tell y'all something, for real.
This started out as a dream at 41-17 Vernon Boulevard, Long
Island City, Queensbridge.
My window faced Manhattan, so that's all I could look at,
and wonder what's happening with them lights over there,
so I wanted to be there.
I had some people inspiring me in my life.
I mentioned them in the bridge.
It was T-Tom, Jappy Jap, Larry Lar, and Gas.
But they weren't the ones that put me on.
When I got with Mr Magic, through Dr. Bob Lee,
Shaheen's father, in my building,
brought me to Mr. Magic, and we changed
the world, being the first rap show on the radio.
[applause]
Back in New York, at WBLS, I was the first hip hop
DJ to rock live on the radio, and then
I brought sampling to hip hop.
That changed my world.
[applause]
After that, I would produce the Juice
Crew, the whole Juice Crew.
We moved on.
We were with Andre Harrell, with Uptown Records.
Then I made Mama Said Knock You Out.
Me and LL had something to prove, and we proved it.
We did well.
I accept this award, but I've gotta share it with Mr. Magic.
Rest in peace.
One of us made it, brother.
And this goes to you. - Marley, hold.
- What's up? What's up?
- Hold on.
Timeout.
He said something that's very key that
I don't think y'all heard.
He invented sampling on a record.
This is Marley Marl right here!
What are we talking about!
[applause]
- Stand up!
This is the man who invented sampling!
- Stand the [bleep] up!
Stand the [bleep] up!
Stand up!
- Move you head and bow!
Yeah!
- Yo, it all started from a little dream in the crib.
Queensbridge, I love you.
This goes out to you too.
I accept this award, and thank you for giving it to me,
because I am hip hop, DJ Marley Marl.
Peace.
[applause]
- Coming up, a special tribute to Marley Marl,
featuring LL Cool J and Rakim.
Then a celebration of So So Def Recordings,
featuring Lil Jon, Bone Crusher, Da Brat,
Chingy, Tyrese, and more.
And, later, I hit the stage with Fabolous, Tip "TI"
Harris, and Jeezy, only when the 2023
BET Hip Hop Awards returns.
[music playing]
- Hip hop, born in the heart of the Bronx,
is a movement that transcended the boundaries of music.
It emerged as the voice of a marginalized generation,
a platform for those who had been
silenced for far too long.
It was a rebellion against the status quo,
a lyrical revolution that empowered
individuals to express their truth no matter
how raw or uncomfortable.
As we celebrate five decades of this remarkable culture,
let us remember the battles fought,
the stories told, in the lives changed by hip hop.
Let's honor the pioneers and trailblazers
who paved the way.
And let's continue to use this incredible force for good,
for social justice, and for inspiring the next generation
of artists and activists.
Hip hop, with its roots firmly planted
in the struggles and aspirations of the people,
has done just that.
Happy 50th anniversary of hip hop.
Here's to the next 50 years of innovation, creativity,
and cultural impact.
- Let's give it up once again for my brother
Marley Marl, the legendary straight out of Queensbridge,
producer for Kool G Rap, Roxanne
Shanté, RIP Biz, Masta Ace, Craig G,
I mean Big Daddy Kane.
And tonight, we're going to celebrate
his legacy with a performance by the one
and only God MC Rakim.
Let's get to it.
[cheering]
- Get up, say what?
Put your hands in the air like this.
Come on.
Yeah.
- Respect the DJ.
Just watch your head into the breach.
Smooth, big bro.
We'll do it like this. Yeah.
Get 'em Marl.
[ERIC B. AND RAKIM, "ERIC B. IS PRESIDENT"] I came
in the door, said it before.
I never let the mic magnetize me no more.
But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme.
I can't hold it back.
I'm looking for the line.
Taking off my coat.
Clearing my throat.
The rhyme will be kicking until I hit my last note.
My mind remains refined.
All kind of ideas.
Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build.
But still say a rhyme after the next one.
Prepared, never scared, I'll just bless one.
And you know that I'm the solist.
Marley Marl, make 'em clap to this.
Hey yo, everybody over here.
People over here.
Hey, yo, and all my people over here.
Yo, yo, and everybody on track, yo,
from all of y'all in hip hop.
[ERIC B. AND RAKIM, "PAID IN FULL"]
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Yeah.
- My name is Jack the DJ from the Bronx, New York.
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- And it's the Magnificent Jazzy Jeff, the God Rakim.
We're all here for hip hop, for Marley Marl.
Salute.
Yo, God, whenever you're ready, sing my song.
- Yeah. - Hit it.
[ERIC B. AND RAKIM, "PAID IN FULL"]
Thinkin' of a master plan.
'Cause ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand.
So I dig into my pocket.
All my money spent.
Dig deeper, still coming up with lint.
So I start my mission, leave my residence.
Thinkin', how could I get some dead presidents?
I need money.
I used to be a stick-up kid.
So I think all the devious things I did.
- Talk about it, Ras!
[ERIC B. AND RAKIM, "PAID IN FULL"] I used to roll up.
"This is a hold up. Ain't nothing funny.
Stop smiling. Be still.
Don't nothing move but the money."
But now I learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous.
I feel great.
Maybe I might just search for a 9:00 to 5:00.
If I strive, maybe I'll stay alive.
So I walk up the street, whistling this.
Feelin' out of place 'cause, man,
do I miss a pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of me
and Marley Marl, a nice big plate of fish,
which is my favorite dish.
But without no money, it's still a wish.
'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid.
I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made.
So now's a test to see if I got pull.
Hit the studio.
[cheering]
[change tempo] Cool, Cool, Cool J. Cool J. Cool,
Cool, Cool J. Cool J. Cool J.
- God is great.
[ll cool j, "jingling baby"]
New York City
You're jingling, baby.
Get 'em out.
Uncle L, Future of the Funk.
Records are recorded minus all the junk.
People spread gossip and believe
what they must while I slam dunk punks
and make 'em bite the dust.
A minute is needed to make a phony roni bleed.
And put 'em in a bucket like he's chicken feed.
Check out the pick of the litter, not a quitter.
I'm nice.
I'mma dust you off and dust you off twice.
You never heard it so observant,
hysterical fanatics of the Asiatic miracle man.
Prominent, dominant, McCoy and I'm real.
Another brother's fan?
Forget how you feel.
He's so-so, I got the instinct.
They call me Deputy Dog to put your booty in the clink.
And hands it to a Marley Marl remix single of let me see
your earrings, jingle, love.
[cheering]
[ll cool j, "mr. good bar"]
- Hey, yo, Marley, you remember this one?
[ll cool j, "mr. good bar"] Hello, my name is Mr. Goodbar.
I came to offer champagne.
Later on, maybe I'll tell you my real name.
But for now, simply drink and be merry.
Be a good girl and save me a cherry.
Me, I'll have a Kahlua and milk.
'Cause champagne always stains my silk.
Got a man?
It's something we won't talk about.
He's smart enough to have you and dumb enough
to let you out.
I like ya Fendi bag, your alligator
shoes, your hairstyle, and your whole point of view.
The way you lick your lips and stare,
you tell me that's a habit, hm, yeah.
Honey-coated legs with not one scar.
Stylish wardrobe is up to par.
Here's my number.
Call me in my car.
You deserve a visit.
Yeah.
You deserve a visit from Mr. Goodbar.
Break it down.
[LL COOL J, "AROUND THE WAY GIRL"]
I need an around the way girl.
That's the one for me.

[LL COOL J, "AROUND THE WAY GIRL"]
I need an around the way girl.
- Hands in the sky.
[LL COOL J, "AROUND THE WAY GIRL"] You got me shook up,
shook down, shook out on your loving.
- God is great.
[LL COOL J, "AROUND THE WAY GIRL"] I want a girl
with extensions in her hair, bamboo earrings,
at least two pair.
Fendi bag and a bad attitude.
That's all I need to get me in a good mood.
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang.
Love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing.
Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop.
She gets pumping, it's hard to make the hottie stop.
She likes to dance to the rap jams.
Sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams.
Honey-coated complexion, using Camay.
Let's hear it for the girls that's from around the way.
Sing.
I need an around the way girl.
Around the way.
You got your hair done, nails done, everything did.
Right!
Hair done, nails done, everything did.
Right! Come on.
I need an around the way girl.
You got me shook up, shook down,
shook out on your loving.
- Come on, man.
Take it low.
Now, bring it up.
And with the local DDC News, LL Cool J
with a triumphant comeback.
[LL COOL J, " MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT"]
Don't call it a comeback.
I've been here for years.
I'm rockin' my peers.
Puttin' suckers in fear.
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon.
Listen to the bass go boom.
Explosions, overpowerin'.
Over the competition, I'm towerin'.
Wrecking shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you
call the cops.
Don't you dare stare.
You better move.
Don't ever compare me to the rest.
That'll all get sliced and diced.
Competition's payin' the price.
I'm gonna knock you out.
Mama said knock you out.
I'm gonna knock you out.
Mama said knock you out.
I'm gonna knock you out.
Mama said knock you out.
I'm gonna knock you out.
Mama said knock you out.
Break it down.

LL Cool J is hard as hell.
Hold up.

Gonna crack shells.
Double-L, must rock the bells.
Rock, rock, rock, rock.
That's what I'm talking about.
Hands in the sky.
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock.
You've been waitin' and debatin'
for so long, just starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J song.
If you cried and thought I died,
you definitely was wrong.
Took a thought, plus I brought Marley Marl along.
Thinking of E-Love down with the Cool J Force
specializin' in the rhymin' for the record, of course.
I'm a tower full of power with rain and hail.
Cut Creator scratch the record with his fingernail.
Rock the bells.
Rock, rock, rock, rock the bells.
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,
rock, rock, rock the bells.
Some girls will like this jam.
And some girls won't.
Cause I a lot of money and your boyfriend don't.
LL, go to hell, gonna rock the bells.
All you washed up rappers wanna do this well.
Rock the bells.

But we gonna talk about my brother selling
over a half a billion records.
That's 500 million records when you had to go to the store
and stand on line.
He got hits with everybody from Mariah, Jay-Z, Luda, Usher,
and that's just the beginning.
This guy's catalog is unmatched.
And he came here tonight to celebrate 30--
30 years of So So Def Recordings.
Get loud for A-Town's finest, the mayor,
my brother, Jermaine Dupri.

# Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad.
I'm the mac, and I'm bad.
Give ya something that you never had.
I'll make ya bump, hump, wiggle, and shake your rump.
'Cause I be kicking the flavor that makes you want to jump.

All invisible, set in little ice cube blocks.
If I can call it a drink, call it a smile on the rocks.
If I can call out a price, let's say I call out a lot.
I got like platinum and white gold, traditional gold.
I'm changing grills every day like Jay change clothes.
I might be grilled out nicely, oh, in my white T,
oh, on South Beach, oh, in my wife B.
My VV is studded.
You can tell when they cut it.
You see my grandmama hate it, but my lil

Open up ya mouth, your grill gleamin'.
Gleamin'.
Eyes stay low from the chiefin'.
What you got? I got a grill.

So if you catch me in your city somewhere out in your hood,

What you looking at?
Let me see your girl.
Yeah, let you see my what?
Your grill, your-- your grill.
Robbed a jewelry store and tell her, make me a grill #
- St. Louis, what's up?
["money ain't a thang"]
# In the Ferrari, the Jaguar, switching four lanes.
With the top down, screaming out, money ain't a thing.
Bubble hard in the double R, flashin' the rings.
With the window cracked, holla back, money ain't a thing.
Jigga, I don't like it if it don't gleam-gleam.
And the hell with the price 'cause
the money ain't a thing.
Put it down hard for my dogs that's locked in the bing.
When you hit the bricks, new whips, money ain't a thing.
Y'all say y'all want to floss with us 'cause all across
the board, we burnin' up.
Drop a little paper, baby, toss it up.
You slackin' on your pimpin'.
Turn it up.
See that money ain't a thing.
My cake thick, I live the life.
Eating crab, watch your lady shake it up all night.
I make the big moves, do the big things.
Take small groups, turn them into big names.
The big dog with the big chain, frost bit bracelet to match.
Can't say I'm the [muted], man.
The type that you need in the crew,
type of dude that'll do it like you won't do, can't do.
Get more burn than a candle, too hot the hold,
too much to handle.
In the black C-Low.
He know if she look, she goes bye-bye with Da-Da.
And I ain't got to say no more.
I'm the truth like AI.
Got the proof and stay fly.
I'm the safest things you can never buy.
Know why?
'Cause I write the songs that the whole world sing,
like every time I try to leave, something
keeps pulling me back, me back, telling me I need you #
- JD, what's good?
# Every time I try to go, something
keeps telling me that-- me that everything
gonna to be all right.
Every time I try to leave, every time I try to leave,
something keeps pulling me back
- So So Def in the building.

# And it means we get to make it work.
It was all good at first, spending
money, going shopping, eating at the finest restaurants.
And if I'm club, yeah, she was right there with me bottle

She just didn't understand my lifestyle,
and that I ain't like.
All the jewelry in the world. Got you diamonds.
Got you pearls.
But I can't help it if ching-a-ling

Baby, I'm a superstar, and that come with it.
Got a good [muted] on your side.
You better run with it.
Even though I'm on the road doing shows,
I made time for me and her relationship to grow.
They tell me don't trust a woman in this industry.
But she not any woman, more like a sacred friend to me.
'Cuz when I'm out of town, I always think of her.
Might conversate with some chicks,
but no one come above her.
Oh, I thought I was your man.
Guess you ain't understand.
And now I'm sitting here looking crazy, like damn.
Every time I try--

Great till this day.
Been in love with the mic since Run DMC.
I talk this way 'cause I'm gangsta, a Chi-Town legend.
I'm not ordinary people.
It's a star in your presence.
I'm so icy that my earlobes hurt.
For what it's worth, don't test me,

Thick in the thighs, can top that.
Stay on my grind.
I buss back if I must act.
What's your name?

Trust that I'm crazy.
Crazy.
I'm such a [muted] lady.
I'm Bow Weezy, prince of the O-Town.
Just got the wheels clean, so I'm riding slow now.
I'm in a fast car something like a NASCAR.
If you want to know how much it cost, you should ask Paul.
Well, as far as the rocks and chains, I dropped some change.
Yeah, and it's easy for me to cop them things.
And I don't stop.
I got rocks and rings.
You know, the same size as a boxing ring.
Swimming pool in the front and the backyard.
I ain't got to act hard.

But the dough for the So So don't come slow.

- What up, y'all?
It's a beautiful thing celebrating
50 years of hip hop.
As I was coming up, I formed allies and partnerships
with some legendary hip hop groups
that helped me grow my brand as an artist and business.
We've seen how much hip hop has provided
opportunities for our families and shape
the culture globally.
In collaboration with Ally Financial,
we dove into the business of hip hop and the coffee brand
I started and how it's helped me make better
financial decisions over time.
Hit up the website, kisscafecoffee.com, take
a look, and grab you a cup.
Ha-ha.
- What's up?
It's your boy Timbo the King.
And this is the Hip Hop Awards Cypher on BET.
I got a crazy group of emcees with me

We got Lady London, Gloss Up, Bun B. But first, Lola Brooke.
It's easy, you know what to do, homeboy.

First get it up in NYC.
Please don't burn your bridge to a chief.
I don't eat red meat, but we can if it's beef.
Don't be juicy to feel rich, the chain that's
around my neck, it was a gift.
Pound on my neck.
Sitting on my [muted] with JF Kennedy.
You can't even catch a Lyft.
I don't need licks to get active base.
They can turn dick in the active stage.
You got to listen what the captain says.
If I could kill the bar, I'mma rap for days.
They grind to me was never in them.
Talk too fast, it could have been 'em.
Snakes fight with the venom.
Michael Murray can't save you. You like you're denim.
You said you fly. Well, I'm fleeing.
That's on me.
They don't play 'bout me.
I ain't never been scared to walk without a leash.
Girls too tough to get attacked by fleas.
Ah, paid you sis.
You complain too much, Miss.
I was on stage while you were singing disco.
Don't come around me with that lazy shit.
Hit the uh.
Pack the Mac.
Had to hit em with the Draco back-to-back.
Sent the medical bills for the aftermath.
'Cause you know I ain't having that, no.
But now that that's over, could have rapped

Uh, I ain't even got to show them.
BET hip hop by Lola.

Happy birthday, hip hop.

I'm in your top five, top five list.
Fly shit, get a grip. Do not buy drip.
Be sick when I slide through.
Pick by pick.
Of course, I am not taking the loss.
Check that I'm making a day as a flawless.
Every day, I'm a boss.
You, they call you Miss take-that-shit-off.
You rob Peter just to settle with Paul.
I rob Peter for leather and faux.
With feathers and all, I've beem on my pedestal, dawg.
I strip away at every level and get better with God.
But how many times will I make this beat mine?
IPhone ringing 17 times.
I know singing every line, my flow, listen,
everything shine.
Lady, what?
Lady who?
Stop acting like lady new.
Made $100K rappin' in the back of Mercedes coupes.
It's true.
Mismanaged, look at my wrist bandage.
White diamonds, Klux Klan-ish.
No mileage, top on the truck vanish.
Uh, and you know I does damage.
Oh, difference between me and you

I don't have sex for the shoes.
And I wear my Rolex in the pool.
And, dude, did, I think when I'm moving.
I don't want to link like a cube.
And, shit, pop it, I don't go out sick.
I met you in the set as your profile pic.
Lady, what?
Lady who?
Come on, let's get it.

- Yo.
Peep this.
Hey.
(RAPPING) Hood rich, bought a mansion
just to twerk on the counters.
Money long, got me counting now for hours and hours.
Doing me, that's the only thing they can't do.
Buy the crib cash.
Bust and whine it like that rent due.
Having in my way get on this track and run like gym shoes.
Way too rich to argue with a grown man in a rental.
Beaches overseas, see through baguettes like seawater.
Gloss been poppin'.
What you know about that, Lil Mama?
Man, I'm from Memphis.
The girls y'all callin' fire, they
don't even spark my interest.
If you looking for me, you can find me in their mentions.
He ain't ballin' on you, baby girl, you need to bench 'em.
Face pretty, waist small, gloss thick as tension.
Better than the temple.
How that girl my opp and I ain't never even met her?
Every day a different hater.
I guess I'm gettin' better.
How the diamond shine and show how much I love that pressure.
[hip hop beat]
- Hey, BET.
Let the OG get some, know what I'm saying?
(RAPPING) Back like I never left,
but why was I supposed to?
The trillest OG, the one you can't get close to.
Don't make me expose you.
Because I'm nothing to sneeze at.
But I can still wipe your nose too.
Straight out of Port Arthur, the land
where they trill at, where you can
get more than your crawfish peeled back.
Been reppin' the Lone Star State and still that.
So I don't really care how you feel.
You gotta feel that.
Since '92, I've been too hard to swallow.
Wrap it super tight and don't beg and don't borrow.
I was ridin' dirty while chasin' the dirty money.
I'm an underground king.
Can't take nothing from me.
RIP to the pimp.
You can see in my eyes that I still miss my brother
every day that I rise.
But it's UGK for life 'til I get to the gate.
So we'll get you a Trill burger when you get to the H.
I get you straight.

that I touched some.
Rock about a bag and I double up my income.
I feel like I'm better than everybody, I mean it.
Thought the girls would get it when I said it or concede it.
Walk it 'cause I talk it and I breathe it and I bleed it.
Get a bag, spin the bag, rinse it and repeat it.

Hop check in to a Hallelujah, no barracuda.

couldn't get his shit back. Let's go.
Uh.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[cheering]
- Yeah.
After DJs founded hip hop, mixtape DJs
showed us how to market it.
In the 1990s, DJs like DJ Kid Capri, Primo,
Ron G, rest in peace Kay Slay, Clark Kent--
clu-clu-clu-clu-clu--
[laughter]
- --and many more had the biz on lock.
Mixtapes became a direct line to the streets.
In 2007, one mixtape DJ created a movement
with his debut album, Gangsta Grillz,
adding rocket fuel to rising stars like TI, Young Jeezy,
and, most recently, Jack Harlow and Lil Uzi Vert.
Not to mention the DJ is the only one I know who brings
his mama to every single show.
That's a fact.
I know Mama Drama.
Right, don't play with this man.
He's on another level.
Go crazy for ATL's own DJ Drama!
[cheering]
[fabolous, "you be killin em"]
- I'm new to the competition.
- BET!
- Salute to the DJ.
Salute to mixtape.
Salute to Gangster Grillz.
Yours truly, DJ Drama.
[fabolous, "you be killin em"] Hey, yo, what's up, girl?
Ain't gotta ask it.

You be killin' 'em.
Girl, you be killin' 'em. Let's go.
You be killin' 'em.
Girl, you be killin' 'em.
Talk to 'em.
You ain't got to worry 'bout her.
Shorty straight.
Been chasing her for two days, first 48.
A bad chick cost.
She worth every cent.
She look like the best money that I ever spent.
Just watching my cutie pie get beautified.
Make me want better jewels, a newer ride.
Louboutin shoes, she got too much pride.
[fabolous, "you be killin em"] Her shoes killing her.
I call it shoe'icide.
Looking good has its sacrifices.
Chilly weather bring four-figure jacket prices.
Her body nice, face dime.
Give you that iPhone, what, tell her FaceTime.
Shorty in the streets, still handle the home.
Enough class for wine.
Still handle Patron.
When them other hoes call, I hand her the phone.
Let's go.
And she hand 'em the tone.
Hey, hey.
Oh.

Plenty of room to get paid for those that ain't scared.

Generation now.
- Hey, what's up, y'all?
It's your "Living Single" dancer Big Lez.
And while we are here tonight representing for the producers
and the DJs at Hip Hop 50, you know I have to represent
for the dancers, right?
So I want to shout out to the "Living Single" Fly Girls.
I want to shout out to the BBD STR8 Ahead
dancers and all the dancers from the golden era
of hip hop, like myself.
Now, you know hip hop don't stop,
and so we are going to keep things moving
tonight as we, of course, have the opportunity, myself,

And I am so honored to stand here with my guy,

[cheering]
That's right.

[cheering]
Here's a sneak peek of the second episode
airing tomorrow at 8:00 PM.
Let's get it.
- Take one, mark. - Y'all know what it is.
Rap City forever.
- It became a phenomenon that none of us expected.
- If you wanted real hip hop, you went to Rap City.
- The longest running hip hop show.
- Rap City, it was a religion.
The hosts were the disciples.
- And this is still Rap City.
- Hip hop, Blackness, culture, creativity.
- Iconic moments.
- But now there's a Illmatic, super heroic visual to it.
- The booth was what really took it to that next level.
- That was a moment to just have fun.
- It was the magnum opus for hip hop.
- And he just spit some bars.
I was at home, like, damn yo.
- There was no place you could get pure, uncut raw.
- Here's the thing that people didn't know.
- There was a beef between 106 and Rap City.
- Competition that we weren't prepared to deal with.
- We can't get who because they're
going to the other show?
- Dudes, be professionals.
- Rap City was truly authentic.
- It was for the gritty.
It was for the grimy.
And that's what made it so special.
- We were introduced to so many other artists
just at the beginning before they started to blow.
- And Rap City changed people's lives, man.
- It showed me that I had a shot at it for real.
- There's no other show like it and there never will be.
- I mean, that's television history.
- Welcome to Rap City, the three-part
documentary continues tomorrow at 8:00 on BET.
(SINGING) Then I would by myself
Oh, I can't believe it.
- I think what made "Can't Believe It"
a hit is the carelessness of it.
You can feel the vibes of the studio.
I had a keyboardist that goes by the name of Preach.
I was messing around on the keyboard
and came up with the [vocalizing]..
And I did that little thing.
And I was like, yo, Preach, come make this sound good.
I came up with some lyrics, started
rattling them off with words, and all these places
started coming out.
And log cabin in Aspen, and mansion in Wisconsin.
(SINGING) Somewhere in Wisconsin
- Once we finished the song that night,
I was like, dude, this needs one more thing.
And why not, Lil Wayne?
(SINGING) Shawty, I was just drinking.
- Having a T-Pain song with Lil Wayne
on it was just a no brainer.
(SINGING) Oh, I can't believe it.
- The music video came out so dope because I
didn't have any limits.
The crazier you can make it, the better.
I couldn't have asked for a better video for that.
It was weird as hell.
That's what the world wanted, and that's what they got.
(SINGING) Oh, oh, she all on me
She on me
- Tonight, tonight, tonight, whoa!
Legendary, give it up for the DJs and producers
on stage tonight.
Hip hop has been incredible to us.
My brother Krayzie Bone, get better in the hospital.
I love you, brother.
We the biggest in the game.
Don't get it messed up.
Why fight the time when you can rewind the time.
Shout out to BET.
Happy birthday, Jesse Collins.
Big up everybody out here for making it happen,
and I love you, hip hop.
See you next year, baby.
[LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND, "CHIEF ROCKA"]
The Lord Chief Rocka, number one Chief Rocka
Well, boom shack-a-lak
I got the flavors, the
funk Whew!
And it's smellin' up the hip hop
A little bit of this, a little bit of that
Mixed a little with this and now I got a rap
I'm the Chief Rocka, so I guess I am in charge
I freak it with a twist so you'll boom it in your cars
I'm the one with the flow and the grip like GI Joe
I snatch, I grab, and then I grab the dough
See if I was an Indian, I'd still be the chief
The only other difference I smoke weed in a leaf
To the hip, the hop, to the hibby to the hibbidy
Hip hop, oh no, I don't want to go pop
I got too much soul, rhythm and blues
R&B, ya see, all that's cool
But hip hop and rap, yeah, that's where my heart's at
Even back when I used to break on a box
Backspins for backspin, even while I'm rappin'
Before I had a record, I always kept 'em clappin'
Freestylin' on the block, now I Chief Rock
I always entertain, by diggin' in my crux
My brain, so if it's gonna rain, let it rain
I spook with the hit, make you jump like house of pain
Boogaloo Boogaloo, shake and jump
And remember, remember, Chief Rocka won't front
The Lord Chief Rocka, number one Chief Rocka
The Lord Chief Rocka, number one--
- Look, Daddy.
