FBA won … Fat Joe steps down from hosting the BET awards

Rakim is a tether....

Tariq has been after Latinos for a minute

Could be a million reasons he stepped aside if he even did so.

If they havent secured another host this might be cap.

Either way they didnt bush him for the FBA cause it was likely a money issue

The show has fallen off and he gains nothing by continuing to host it. Last year it was held at a night club in vegas (Drais). No major artist will care to be affiliated with it anymore or even show up.

Somebody check on @Plankton if true

He has which is cool, but do you think The Latin American Music Awards, the Billboard Latin Music Awards, and the Latin GRAMMYs would let a Black American or Afro Latin who's dabbled in Reggaeton/Salsa host any of them awards?

Why not? If they knew the host was genuine why the fukk not?

Fat Joe is more Hip Hop than anyone on this message board. He's a Cuban/Puerto Rican. He's made a lot of black people money, and all of a sudden were supposed to hate him? Naw.

I have zero problem with him hosting the BET awards. What's next, we erase Angie Martinez from the culture because she isn't black? Start erasing Stretch and Bobito from our memories because they weren't FBA?

How long have those awards been on and it hasn't happened? Let's keep it a buck those awards know if they did it would be mad pushback from the Brown Coalition. Also, you can't erase any of those you mentioned because they "Contributed" hugely to the Hip Hop Community.

That's a dub for the "internet only cult," right guys?

I'm picturing him going to into his 80's flow every time he speaks.

"I'm Kurtis Blow...and these are the nominEEES"

"We got Mary J.....and Bey-on-SAY....."

YOU WENT ALL IN AND YOU DIDN'T WIN...THESE ARE THE BREAKS.

Found it nevermind. Billboard...2 Chainz congratulations

2 Chainz is a good pick. Everybody rock with 2 Chainz

A 3 year run as host is good enough. You left out the part where Joes' been executive producer of the Hip Hop BET awards for years and Joe didn't say anything about not being an executive producer anymore.

Wake me when that happens, until then....

Glad to see you took it well and that, that cape is still nice and snug

 

[Standing on business]

FBA we did it, finally reparations

 

[feelosofer]

Wow. The Black community is certainly better for this. I haven't watched a BET Awards in forever.
