The BET Awards ended memorable Sunday night, while Snoop Dogg – celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut album, "Doggystyle" – departs from "Who Am I?" (And What's My Name?) "The Next Episode" to two songs from his recent gospel project, "Bible of Love". With an elaborate staging of the church in the background, Snoop sings "Sunrise" and "You" a pulpit.
In case you missed the 3 hour telecast, here are some other highlights:
1) The performance of Meek Mill.
Mill went back on stage after his released from prison in April, when he was released on bail by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after an outcry over the length of his sentence (two to four years) for breach of probation.
He debuted a new song, "Stay Woke", with the most powerful performance of the night, which tackled everything from police brutality to incarceration. He opened with a newspaper that had titles such as "17-year-old teen killed by a local policeman tried as a homicide"; "Trump supports the new politics of the national anthem of the football league"; and "Meek Mill's fight for freedom is still unfinished." At one point, the show portrays a girl pulled by the police; the character playing a policeman covered his body with an American flag.
Mill also wore a sweatshirt with the face of XXXTentacion, the 20-year-old rapper who was shot in Florida last week.
2) The "Black Panther" tributes.
During his monologue, host Jamie Foxx shouted at the blockbuster "Black Panther": "We have to address the panther in the room.Not forget, we do not need of a president right now, because we have our king, Ryan Coogler has given us our king, for that director, "said Foxx, while the crowd applauded. "Black Panther is the third biggest film of all time. A black man did that."
Then he called Michael B. Jordan (who plays the villain Killmonger) on stage to recite his famous line of dialogue, which Foxx said "is so important for today, now." After verifying that Foxx was serious, Jordan reiterated, "Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped ships, because they knew that death was better than bondage." . "
Coogler also went to the public after winning the Best Film Award. "The film talks about our experience of African-Americans, and also tries to capture the experience of being African on this planet – when so many factors are trying to tell you that it's something something you should be ashamed of, is something you should hide "he said. "For us, it was to tap into that voice that we always hear that tells us to be proud of who you are and where you come from."
3) The tribute of Anita Baker.
The legendary R & B singer won this year's Lifetime Achievement Award, and was moved when Foxx, Marsha Ambrosius, Ledisi and Yolanda Adams sang a medley of his most famous songs: "Same Ole Love", "Give me the best ". "" Caught in the kidnapping, "" Sweet Love "and" You Bring Me Joy ".
During his acceptance speech, Baker encouraged new and veteran musicians to stay together.
"When you see young people, tap them on the shoulder, they need you, young people, now that you're here tonight, look around the room and find a veteran and tap them on the 39, shoulder and show up, "Baker said. "Let's take care of each other, we need each other, we can not do it alone."
4) The moment Childish Gambino.
The violent video of Donald Glover (or more precisely, his alter ego rapper Childish Gambino) for "This Is America" won millions of views almost immediately when it was released last month. Foxx forced everyone to give Glover an ovation.
"Everyone begged me to make a joke about this song." I said, "This song should not be joking," Foxx said, calling Glover a movie star singer-songwriter-philanthropist. "They say he's young, but I think he's more handsome, he's amazing, and his hairline is real."
Glover looked a little embarrassed as he walked on stage ("It's uncomfortable for him", Foxx informed everyone) and thanked Foxx. He also shouted at his fellow writers / TV stars, Lena Waithe of "The Chi" and Issa Rae of "Insecure".
5) The performance of Janelle Monáe.
In the penultimate song of the night, Monáe – and 20 backup dancers – dropped the house with a combination of "Django Jane" and "I Like That" from her latest album.
6) The possible hint to #PermitPatty.
While they could have referred to many incidents, presenters Jacob Latimore and Jason Mitchell of "The Chi" have addressed a recent trend, which has still occurred this weekend when a San Francisco woman (#PermitPatty) became viral for calling the cops. 8 year old girl selling water.
"It's a recent trend that whites are calling police on blacks for no apparent reason," said Mitchell, adding that they wanted to throw away alternatives.
"If you see a black family barbecue in the park, instead of calling the cops, practice your touch or something," Latimore offered. "Play a little Coldplay or practice the guitar."
"9-1-1 is for emergencies, not your insecurities," Mitchell said. "So stop calling the cops!"
7) The combination of the power of the stars.
YG has tried to give life to his new video of "Big Bank", collaborating with Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj on stage. And yes, Minaj sits on a pink horse – just like the video – only this one had more glitter.
8) Shout at politicians.
In presenting the award for best collaboration, Regina Hall and Amandla Stenberg (co-stars of the upcoming movie "The Hate U Give") applauded all of the "real life black superheroes here".
"Like Maxine Waters, who has the superpower to recover his time," said Hall.
"And Kamala Harris, with her real Wonder Woman lasso of truth," added Stenberg.
"Two things I do not want," said Hall. "It's to repel Pusha T or be interrogated by Kamala Harris."
