Busta Rhymes earned the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 BET Awards on Sunday, June 26. Swizz Beatz and Marlon Wayans paid tribute to the Hip-Hop veteran while a sizzle reel displayed Busta’s genius.
He has worked on music throughout his career with a variety of artists, such as Missy Elliott, Diddy, Mariah Carey, Pharrell Williams, Chuck D, and others. The “Dungeon Dragon” ascended the stage after his group, Leaders of the New School, disbanded and delivered a long, tearful speech about his backstory.
“All right. So, I’m going to wear it on my sleeve. I do want to cry,” Rhymes shared, as the crowd cheered him on.
“I’m going to say I am grateful that the blessing that has been bestowed upon me and this gift that I have been given and this fire that continues to burn as a passion in my soul, that allows me to get into any situation — from the stage to collabing with whoever — and making sure that I am far from the weak link.”
“Because I enjoy walking away from a situation saying, ‘I bust a**!’ It’s just me trying to continue to advance the culture and continue to contribute in a significant way,” the Brooklynite added.
“I see so many people in here that I have known and grown with for a long time, you’re watching me grow and I love y’all and I know y’all love me.”
