[VIDEO] Chris Lighty Tribute Performance From The BET Hip Hop Awards

Say what you will about, the BET Hip Hop Awards, but the Chris Lighty tribute was very well done. It started with LL Cool J talking about his contributions to the music industry even though he wasn’t an artist. The theme of the performances were songs that wouldn’t have been possible without his influence, which led to performances by A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, 50 Cent, and Fat Joe. It was definitely cool to see Joe and 50 put their differences aside to pay tribute to someone who influenced both of their careers.

Throwback Thursday/Thoughts Of A Jeanius Top 5: Aaliyah Songs

It’s absolutely insane that it’s already been 10 years since Aaliyah passed, and it brings back so many memories. The day after she passed I started at a new store working for Alberson’s, and the day after that was my first day of college. I wanted to do something more than the typical Throwback Thursday to celebrate her memory, so I decided to combine it with my Throwback Thursday with the Thoughts of a Jeanius Top 5: Aaliyah songs.
