​@@ebonywoods2319Do you even know who the crowd consists of? Those aren't regular people who get turnt up for every song, those are celebs trained to keep calm.

[@strengthwithin7256]

This is Hip Hop straight up performing no lip singing just pure talent. When Busta hit the stage your energy should go to 1000. You couldn't help to get hype up, still sounds great and still gives a great performance. Congratulations to Busta well deserve award. Many Blessings! ❤😊

[@davidestick9936]

Good to see Busta get the recognition he deserves. He belongs in any conversation of greats. Lyrically, stage performance, versatility…he’s got it all. Mad respect

[@kenishamccutcheon3516]

Long overdue

[@PurpleLighters]

This was my favorite rapper as a kid. When I saw him perform live a few years later, I couldn't believe how LIVE he was. There will never be another Bussa Buss 🙏🏽

[@rogermoyo3451]

Amen and amen!!!!!!!!! He is still my favourite rapper.

[@MCGZay]

Man busss & spliff have always been a standard in friendship & putting up a solid performance. Love to see it

[@Alicetcoley]

Yesss!!! They been tight like forever!! 💯❤

Oh,they were crazy back in the day, everyone up there was!

[@acenewb1e]

Busta is a once in a generation talent... His genuine love for hip hop and artestry are like no other. Truly loved how he brought everyone on, ftom Coi to Dexta to Swizz

[@busbey61]

Busta and Spliff are half way through a second generation.

[@manaman8608]

This brother is very deserving of this award! He has been at this game for a long time and has always brought the energy! My favorite performance of the night!

[@newflower8974]

I love how Busta let Coi get her shine loved her performance and her paying homage to female rappers was 🔥

[@drphot6050]

Benzino made a call

[@renelvital]

The performance was solid!

[@elijahstraight402]

​@@drphot6050You think he didn't? It's quite obvious 😅😂

[@jessicadouglas6039]

The crowd was definitely super young and uninformed! I remember turning the radio up real loud when Busta and a bunch of the vets come on Foxy 103! The vets can get hood and then turn that professionalism on real quick when it’s time to be an adult! Salute ❤🎉

Rah Digga looked amazing, happy to see her perform ❤

[@deet9217]

When I saw Busta, I knew she had to be somewhere. She is like a sister to him. I loved it

[@tonic5673]

She’s looks so different

[@charlesbarclay8181]

Man rap back then was just amazing. Hear the confidence when they rap 👏🏽👏🏽

[@cotmh5135]

Yess!!!

[@jdc_jblair]

Spliff star has got to be top 5 greatest hype men of all time. Youngsters today take notes. Everybody ain’t gotta be the man. Play your position and you can last 25-30 yrs. Not going around on people podcast, broke at 50. Hating on Busta. His energy still on point for his boy like day 1. Much love to them two boys

[@stacyh9286]

It's official, everyone in these comments shoulda had front seats for this! ❤ I know this group woulda shown out.

[@QiyasDenae]

Listen! Bc I was in my living room HYPE!

[@Jin04115]

Audience was on life support. Love Bus since the leaders of the new school, been shining ever since. What a great time to get this award at his 51st year on earth.

[@shawntab86]

Half of the crowd don’t know nothing about this greatness!!! I would’ve been in the audience acting a fool. This was my era!!!

[@slightreflections2921]

Busta shared his spotlight to new artist, throwback artist, the pioneers, he got alot of love for Hiphop.

[@cheftone1985]

This new generation better hope that 20 30 years later they can still get this kind of reaction from busta to splif to remy to rah diga THEY STILL GOT IT 👏🏾👏🏾

[@caper087]

Busta is a true legend !!! This new generation will never know what the 90s early 2000s music was, best time to be alive!!

[@desgaming4721]

Yessss

[@weiss1377]

I also see in the crowd people who look old-enough-generation reacting weird. This is so bizarre. I wish I was there. I’m not American and never even been there, maybe some of y’all take this for granted?

[@mom2babygkaterad946]

In a room filled with GREATNESS, yet this crowd is absolutely clueless. If only the younger generation could appreciate & celebrate the artists who paved the way for them. We LOVE you Busta Buss!!🎤💫💛❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@girlmom1312]

It's sad, because the 80s babies appreciated our predecessors. Absolutely, which were the artists that started Hip Hop. We respected them and still rocked out to their music. These lamest today are so whack they know real and good even if it slaps them. Shame.

[@niamakaylahcaldwell9742]

The way I woulda FAINTED seein Busta, Remy, Swizz AND Digga on the SAME STAGE?!!! Gotta love Coi Leray too she made a hit from a hit 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and put the whole genrational difference to rest cuz for one that's not needed or accurate for everything and two u don't know what our parents or grandparents brought us up on, and MY parents brought me up on EVERYTHING. Most of the time you'll catch half of us singin and rappin our hearts out to classics when they come on, respectfully 💯

[@GenF91]

So happy for Busta. He’s always had hits. Thank you BET for honoring him with the Lifetime Achievement Award!! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@adquilantang]

4:11 , I've rewatched this part over and over. That's a smile that can brighten anyone's day.

[@andreasrutledge93]

This proves why Busta is still the greatest to ever pick up the 🎤,wicked performance from all those involved including bus-a-bus himself.

[@rccadena5744]

As long as Busta Rhymes has been around and collaborated with so many artist, Mad celebs should have showed up for him. He is and will always be one of the best live performers and no one will outshine him on stage WELL DESERVED AWARD!

[@kulahgordonlove7030]

Exactly!!! Same thing I said. Diddy, his buddy for years rapper QTip, many others.

[@tobuku23]

I was thinking the same thing and yes I get it a lot of shows are and have kick off for the summer. But they should have been their( quick flight in be present, flight right back out). EITHER WAY GREEEEAAAT SHOW!

[@Angelica-fd1fe]

@@tobuku23no major celebs are there because they don’t do these low budget award shows, people don’t watch tv like that either 😊

[@damianconyers449]

Man this took me back to the craziness of Busta Bust!! This crowd is just dead!! Look at how far hip hop has fallen 😢. This did is a legend!

[@ruff1draft]

Busta Rhymes has always kept his breath control on point when behind the Mic and people do not always realise how many hits he has had.

[@brandongordon2392]

Busta Rhymes Touch It Performance was one of my favorite BET Award moments of all time… It was amazing seeing Remy, Digga, Scar Lip and Coi, and showing love to some great female talent past and present

[@richsneaker8559]

A legend on the stage and majority of the crowd don't even know his hits. Pisses me off but he did his thing last night

[@jay062882]

Him and big pun were 2 of my favorite artists when I first got into hip hop. Busta is a true artist and performer. Salute one of the best.

[@Marie-qt1fb]

This new generation could never touch or understand how these songs touch our souls 😢🎉😊

[@alanai1981]

BIG FACTS. THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS WHY THEY GET TO DO WHAT THEY DO. HE PAVED THE DAMN WAY.

[@chantalgrauwde1441]

NEVERRR....

[@ginaly197071]

This tribute and his solo performance was amazing. I was so glad to see Spliff Star as well. Their friendship spans decades.......and he is just as an amazing artist as well. The energy over the TV was exciting! Must have been 30x times that there in person. His acceptance speech was terrific and inspiring as well.

[@newflower8974]

That transition between “put your hands where my eyes can see” & “players” was crazy 🔥

[@rushyacousticangel2892]

Big up big time to Jamaica and Trinidad. Because spliff hold down for busta for years and he is from trinidad. So big up to the jamaicans and trinis

[@bslorbust]

Didnt know Spliff is Trini! Wow you learn something everyday

[@nellec6987]

You've got to know the history of music and understand the levels to this... This was one of BET Awards most iconic performance.. Early 90s and 80s babiew will enjoy this performance. Great performance.

NOW THIS IS HIP HOP. This new generation needs to take notes

[@madisonfarris4879]

What new generation? What era?

[@Z-xm2bz]

I agree. They just need to create a new name for the music of today. I don't think it's hip hop. It's just different. And we gotta accept each other's differences generationally. Music is forever evolving. Today's music isn't my cup of tea but it's NOT for me. I will forever be an 80s 90s hip hop head. I'm just sayin. So I'm here for this!

[@spiritualhussle1297]
