Grandmaster Flash was awarded one of the most prestigious BET awards. He took hime with him the show’s lifetime achievement award, I am Hip-Hop! “To get an award for my technological ability means a whole lot more than anything else I’ve accomplished in my life,” the deejay said.
The show also took a brief time out, courtesy of Diddy, to honor R&B singer Gerald Levert, who passed away Friday from a heart attack, and veteran CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley, who passed away Thursday from leukemia.
“Let’s celebrate their lives,” Diddy said. “People will forever miss y’all.”
