LL Cool J Gives Powerful Acceptance Speech at '2011 Hip Hop Awards' (VIDEO)

Filed under: Reality-Free, TV Replay

LL Cool J took home the 'I Am Hip-Hop Icon Award' at the 2011 'BET Hip Hop Awards' (Tue., 8PM ET on BET), and to prove that he was indeed, he brought some rhymes with him that he read in lieu of a traditional acceptance speech.

He proved himself an impressive wordsmith still, with a social conscience, touching several members of the audience with his politically charged words.

"Millionaires crying about raising taxes on the elite," he read. "They won't feed us as they'd rather defeat us like an aborted fetus, but the greatest feat is to get back up on your feet."
