HOPEFULLY BET WON’T MESS THIS ONE UP!! PRINCE TO GET LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!

Maybe they can make up for the epic fail that was the MJ tribute!!

NEW YORK — This month’s BET Awards will be a royal affair: Prince is getting a lifetime achievement honor.  The 51-year-old joins the likes of James Brown, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and Al Green in being honored by the BET Awards, which will celebrate its 10th year in Los Angeles on June 27.

BET says the Prince tribute will stand out. Stephen G. Hill, president of programming, music and specials for the network, said BET will celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s “unique style.”

“Prince is dynamic. Prince is genius. Prince is music,” Hill said of the performer, who has 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles to his name.

The BET show will be hosted by Queen Latifah and include performances by Kanye West.



WHAT BLACK MUSICIAN COULD ROCK THIS ‘EBONY’ COVER TODAY? NONE!

Happy belated Birthday Prince!!

Hey Prince. It’s me, Carlton Jordan. Looking at your recent ‘Ebony’ cover reminds me that you didn’t give a phuuggg about what other people thought of you. You truly had your own sense of style, and definition of what was sexy. What modern day Black musician could get away with such a dandy bejeweled affair that this cover is, without all of our people calling the names [gay!]. NONE!

BUT – I’m still a little salty because after Michael Jackson passed you basically were silent.
