@@BearFaceTV the thing is, you don't have to personally know someone for them to touch you or inspire you. That's why entertainment was created, and that's why there's different outlets and medias to it. Don't get too invested in how you feel that you try to put it on other people.

[@BearFaceTV]

@@MiamiBlossom we have to agree to disagree. Nobody should be that emotionally invested in others lives to bring them to the point where they cry if somebody else’s daughter does something cute for their father.

[@pathom252]

This was AMAZING & I keep rewatching it with Pride & Joy, “BROOKLYN” but, How come Jay didn’t perform like all the other Artists or have someone perform his stuff like they did for Tina Turner??!! WTHECK!!

[@taneshah.1260]

I'd actually read in an article prior to the show that there was no performance during his segment, but it was still disappointing.

[@neysaherbert7573]

He has evolved from being a performer. Rap is different than other music genres. It would be hard to have someone else performing is songs without it coming off corney. Instead he took the performance time and really broke down what made him what he became. I think it was fitting for where he is in life now. Also to have his hits sliced and mixed to be performed would do no justice. They knew that hence the spoken word performance which was well done.

[@AfricanGirl]

r u thinking about the Kennedy award show?

[@katlego720]

No F'n ways. Diddy KILLED it. funny enough, on monday I was asking myself "if Hov was still spending money from '88 in '96 what about 2021?" i like when random thoughts manifest themselves. :)

Our little girl came home from school. She said Dad do you know about Jay Z. I said no my darling who is that. Then she said do you know who Beyonce is? I said sorry my darling i do not know who Bouncy is. She said Beyonce Dad, Beyonce, not Bouncy!!. No television, no radio, no newspapers. I said to myself I better look this person up on the net. Whoosh........ Shawn Carter defines courage and perseverance in the face of hopelessness and utter futility. Congratulations for taking the path to the right. Congratulations for inspiring, uplifting and sharing to everyone who came in contact with you. Most of all congratulations for having the faith in yourself (universal) to let in the love and cherish those around you sufficiently to realise that allowing them to love you for you fulfils both your reason for being and their destiny to leave the desert forever and never go thirsty again..........one generation.........healed in one generation...... Now that is success manifest.....that rocks!! Thank you for being you and having the conviction of belief to walk on water by stepping out....one step at a time.... on the rocks beneath the surface. All power to you and your loved ones......A big acknowledgement to your mum......a proud day for her when her baby lives to enter the rock and roll hall of fame, without the 'rock'.
