At the BET Hip-Hop Awards on Saturday Kendrick Lamar got to award Snoop Dogg with the I Am Hip Hop honor. During his speech Kendrick spoke highly of Snoop Dogg saying:
“He mastered the game through tests and challenges that earned him the respect of a college professor, except his game came from the streets. He put [me] on game, so I would avoid the same pitfalls. … Snoop Dogg was the god and continues to be so.”
Snoop also shared some insight on stage while accepting his award telling the audience:
“To all the young rappers in the game, a lot of people don’t understand you,” he said. “Y’all are misunderstood. I was misunderstood at the beginning. So you got to keep pushing, be original and diverse. Hip-hop was created many years ago, and it’s taken people so many places. You have to be who you are.”
