Hey Jukebox Heroes... you set up this clip so beautifully and with so much class. Having "Sweet Home Chicago" as an opening jingle is a nice honorary nod to President Obama. Thank you for preserving this herstorical moment. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

18:30-19:07 was the best part of this tribute. Karen Clark Sheard never disappoints.

[@sassyx2048]

Only the best For Queen Latifah. You know you had to come correct! Beatiful she throughly deserves it always carried herself always. Rhapsody brings hope to Hip Hop.❤

[@sistamaryclarence]

The Clark Sisters singing Winki’s Theme a song Queen wrote and dedicated to her late brother is another level tribute 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾 and then “I know where I’ve been ” goodness gracious chills🥹

[@sassyx2048]

[@dawnagordon2333]

There are many good rappers, but there is no one like Queen Latifah. I love Raz rapper. I love her as an actress and I love her as a person. I would love one day to meet her. She’s so inspiring.

[@JohnBest84]

Rapsody and the orchestra killed it with ''just another day''...wooow! mind blowing.

[@wesleybren]

How did she get this before Patti labelle

[@ErthaRizas]

Another one who is forgetting where they came from. Building luxury housing in Newark and no affordable housing. Sad

[@Sean-i7t]

I'm not saying that she has not had a great career but when you look at past Kennedy Center recipients you're going to tell me that her career mirrors people like that ? She's not even the best female rapper, but that's our society now I want to give out stuff to people just because

[@labrne5659]

Why couldn't you just come out and say you don't like her and her music? Far out the distaste from you is so clear and loud lol. You tell me what woman in hiphop has achieved what she's done since she's "not the best female rapper?". You can't compare her career to others as they all brought something different to the scene of music. Yea calm down over there in the peanut gallery 😂

[@Sean-i7t]

@labrne5659 so you going to sit up there and say that she's a better rapper than MC Lyte ?

[@labrne5659]

@@Sean-i7t MC lyte is the fucking queen - thats who Latifah looked up too. Or why couldn't you mention a caliber like Missy with her vast achievements on and off the scene? While we talking about hip hop how about LL Cool J'? He was a significant benchmark because he is the first-ever hip-hop artist to receive the honor and THE youngest: should the board had stopped him getting this award because of his age? Know more what this award is about before coming on here with "she's better" 🤭 this is about impact - Latifah has done that. You barely see black woman let alone a woman of colour that has made a impact in both movies and music like she has - and still going strong.

[@Sean-i7t]

@labrne5659 my comments have nothing to do with Queen Latifah's career, which is great, but not Kennedy Center Honor worthy. And you think a average show at best on Fox, a couple of movie roles, and currently can't be on the side of original is doing a knockoff of already TV show and movie series,, and totally unbelievable to add. So I don't have nothing to do with being a woman but I will tell you this she is the industry's safe black woman. I guess they'll be getting cardi b's and nicki minaj's medal ready soon too

[@labrne5659]

@Sean-i7t safe black woman? What's that supposed to mean 😂 that unconscious bias of yours is written all over you. She's worked hard, and that's not good enough? What more she has to prove to be worthy of this?? Yea, exactly you don't know. Then you have no idea what this award is about. A couple of roles?? Well, you exactly proved my point - that you dont know what she's achieved. It's ok if you don't know lol... but coming on here and sounding so ignorant- does not look good on you
