Small Error @ the End, it should say the Lifetime Achievement Award was for James Brown! 😭 Also Big Ups to the voiceover artist in the video | Tailor Mariee IG : instagram.com/tailormariee?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
This was the first awards I watched and was mad excited to see Michael Jackson there that was the greatest moment in BET History nobody can top this moment he's forever the 🐐
This was PEAK black star power. I'm so happy to have watched it in real time. I do not think we'll ever experience this echelon of BLACK MUSIC TALENT in one award show ever again.
That Michael Jackson and James Brown moment so ICONIC. It gave me goosebumps fr I still remember when I was a kid and this came on my whole house was freaking out. EPIC
Remember when BET awards meant to us is was fun entertaining and memorabilia to live in those happy moments when we didn't have social media and all the great moments
so are we going to ignore that most male rappers don't have the stage presence and show females give? and nicki isn't bad AT ALL. If you make it a sex fight you gon lose, women get more judge for what they do on stage so they are more prompt to improve and come out with something fresh
It was James Brown that got the lifetime achievement award that year! Michael Jackson was a surprise guest for James Brown and the whole audience. BET should definitely put all the award shows in their entirety on BET+.
Don't diss James Brown like that, he performed great at 70 years old, I think he performed a few songs on stage. To me he was the best performer of the night, and to be that great and refined in his 70's makes it even better.
@@ThePanther97 If you took that comment as a diss says more about you then it does that person it’s facts tho MJ KILLED IT! Nobody can touch that man shoutout Mr James Brown tho
@@pressurejawn That says nothing wrong about me. I get it you're a fan of Michael Jackson and he did great for the short time he was up there, but I wouldn't dare dismiss a great legend like James Brown who actually did multiple full songs before Michael even showed up and they were great, plus he's 70 years old while he's doing it. Imagine if he was Michael's age of 44? He was doing amazing acrobatic stuff at that age and moved ridiculously fast.
@@5300trilla Alright calm down, you guys are acting like I said something bad. Just don't dismiss James Brown's performance, pretty much the best performance of the night from a 70 year old and stop treating it like it was just another performance.
Back when I knew nearly every artist and their music catalog. Also, does anyone remember when Nick Cannon was in the band lineup when Lil Kim performed bc of Drumline’s prior release?
I remember we had this particular award show recorded on vcr. Used to watch this over and over and over when I was younger… pretending to be Beyoncé lololol 😅😂😂
lil Kim used to be so gorgeous! She had this natural chocolate beauty and her confidence was imbedded in that persona. Once she got surgery and lost access to her skin, she seemed to dwindle from that point. If we could turn back time to go get her 😭😫
Free looked SO GOOD! I almost belive those Jay z rumors. And why was Paris Hilton invited ? lmao 🤣 I know Kim Kardashian begged that woman to be her plus one lol
I get the point but he did make R&B music at that time. It’s a shame we can’t do the same even today. Everyone gets to be pretend blk and when they get big they get to leave it behind like Chick-fil-A trash..
Back when celebrities fashion was relatable to their audiences ain’t have people going broke trying to wear name brands and they actually wasn’t half naked. The joys of the early 00’s
Yeah this was pre-internet age.. All our stellar black celebrity gatherings, and stability in entertainment basically became sacrificed, scrambled & all over the place with the internet.. Plus Viacom had recently bought BET.. So these awards (and BET as a station) basically went downhill after about 08'..
I forgot about Stevie playing 21 Questions on the harmonica. It sounds so good. Very bluesy. That song should've been like Drake - Doing It Wrong where Stevie played it toward the end.
Michael Jackson didnt recieved Lifetime Achievement Award.. James Brown was honored and Michael brought down the house. That is my favorite moment. RIP to the legends.
It may be laughable now but back then that fashion was the shii 😂 in 20 years we might all be wearing leaves 🍃 for fashion and laughing at this shinny Jean/showing skin era
as a kid born in 2006 i rlly wish i could've experienced life in the early 2000s everything seemed so fun and everybody seemed happy, its like life didn't have as many problems back then (besides racism and homophobia)

Yes ma’am! All facts spoken!!
YES KING M.J., I CRIED SEEING HIM ON THERE...OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
Back when you knew who EVERY performer was.
😂 that part
or maybe you were young and were more aware of what's trending
I think the 80s had more clearer performers/stars. the 2000’s went down hill meaning alot more names to the industry but less talent needed
Thank u! B/c now it's a circus, mixed with Instagram
@@mile_851Wrong because people of all generations knew those artist. Who know these today artist but Gen ZZ people?
The only time Beyoncé ever sweated on stage, after this she bought every fan sears had and brought them with her😂😂
LMFAO
*HOLLERING* ‼️‼️😂🤣😭😭😂🤣
lol
This was the best year🔥 M.J.🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
When life was different and social media didn't dominate most of our lives. I was in high school during this time, and music was fun
This was PEAK black star power. I'm so happy to have watched it in real time.
I do not think we'll ever experience this echelon of BLACK MUSIC TALENT in one award show ever again.
Listen!!
Wow good point..I really enjoyed the show didn't realize it was history
You said it right there girl! True star power!!!! AND IN FULL BLACKNESS 🤍
2003 BET Awards will always be the most Iconic and Legendary one. Everyone was there, that reflected Black Culture. What a beautiful time to be alive.
Kim looked so beautiful on ‘03 😩
The Birth of Beyoncé
Seeing paris hilton at the bet awards is so random to me 🙈
Rightttt, if there was a photographer she was there
Paris was always on photo tours. Anything major, she always needed people to see her. That Hilton name got her every where.
*TOTALLY*
This is the best BET awards ever
Lord the way Vivica looked after 50 shouted her out 😆😆😆
she was smitten AF😂❤
@@WillWize like a mfer 😂😂
She was so happy lol 😂
Classic moment
Mya, Lil’ Kim, Missy & especially Da Brat looked amazing! Excellent breakdown btw
Thanks! Means a lot!
I’ll always love the early 2000s makeup. The natural sun kissed , glowy makeup era.
That Michael Jackson and James Brown moment so ICONIC. It gave me goosebumps fr I still remember when I was a kid and this came on my whole house was freaking out. EPIC
This was my favorite year of the BET Awards. C/O 2003🎉So many great moments and performances.
if only I could go back in time, to relive all of this.. sigh
What a time to be alive..All those Legends and Icons shared the same stage this was a great yr!
Everyone from this era had personality
Michael Jackson will foreva be a legend the best of all Times🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love you AALIYAH
The BET Awards back then was booming !
LAWD MJ, all he has to do is just be there and he makes the show. Now that was the best show Love! Love it!
Remember when BET awards meant to us is was fun entertaining and memorabilia to live in those happy moments when we didn't have social media and all the great moments
i wish someone had the full show
Amazing!! It was James brown and Michael jackson moment for me! That’s what real legends do.. Nicki, latto these females need to take notes
Dont ever put nicki in the same category as latto
@@Meko_tah *period*
nicki ? sdfu
so are we going to ignore that most male rappers don't have the stage presence and show females give? and nicki isn't bad AT ALL.
If you make it a sex fight you gon lose, women get more judge for what they do on stage so they are more prompt to improve and come out with something fresh
Nicki been in the game for 15 years,so idk why you putting her with latto lame ass.
It was James Brown that got the lifetime achievement award that year! Michael Jackson was a surprise guest for James Brown and the whole audience. BET should definitely put all the award shows in their entirety on BET+.
7:47 the look on 50 Cent face, as he’s trying to figure out who’s song Stevie Wonder’s playing 😂
Garcelle’s fashion choice looks so timeless
Paris hilton picture always cracks me up Lmfaooooo 😊
What was she doing at the BET awards?!?! 😂😂😂😂 but she was at the 2013 awards too
Michael Jackson had the best performance that night by far, and he wasn't even on stage that long.
Award shows are not the same without him.

This video brought me so much joy!!! Thank you 🥰
These looks lmfaoo whew chile took me back to a time when life was simple
2:36 Monique hair, outfit and makeup was on point! Looking like LIZZO Aunty!
This is so nostalgic😊😊. Great recap!
I enjoyed this so much. I hope you do more of these!
B2k brought the whole You got served crew on stage 😍
Wack
I remember we had this particular award show recorded on vcr. Used to watch this over and over and over when I was younger… pretending to be Beyoncé lololol 😅😂😂
Michael Jackson speaking in his natural deep voice
Man Paris Hilton look higher than a light bill 3:04 😂
They gave a bet award for everything 😩😂 best fry cook head ahh
😂😂😂
Omg 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks soooo much for this 🔥🔥just put me in such a good spirit…this was an amazing era of life !
50 Cent The King Of Rap and MJ King Of Music
Award shows hit different back in the day. I miss those days.
They had everybody there!!!!
So grateful for this video!!! This was my year ❤
I would give anything to go back to this time 😥
lil Kim used to be so gorgeous! She had this natural chocolate beauty and her confidence was imbedded in that persona. Once she got surgery and lost access to her skin, she seemed to dwindle from that point. If we could turn back time to go get her 😭😫

B2k killed that lol🔥
Ashanti that night = nice gowns , beautiful gowns
Lol 😅😅
Justin Timberlake being nominated is HILARIOUS
It is but he does make r&b music along with pop music, so it makes sense why he was nominated
For a Black Entertainment Award initially created for Black People at a time when BET was Black owned?? Very Hilarious!
@@hiphopurbanpop EXACTLY MY POINT‼️👏🏽‼️👏🏽‼️ you get it🙏🏾
I get the point but he did make R&B music at that time. It’s a shame we can’t do the same even today. Everyone gets to be pretend blk and when they get big they get to leave it behind like Chick-fil-A trash..
@@dwa3210 GIRL BYE I SAID WHAT I SAID‼️ EVERYONE CANT COME TO THE COOKOUT SIS‼️ SIMPLE.
6:40 Actually, They Both Won the BET Award for Best Male R&B Artist
Meaning That It’s a Tie
Jaheim Also Wins the Award with R. Kelly
My favorite BET awards year
The Y2K era was interesting
The diversity back then. We have regressed.
Back when celebrities fashion was relatable to their audiences ain’t have people going broke trying to wear name brands and they actually wasn’t half naked. The joys of the early 00’s
I miss these times
Back when award shows was LIT and we watched the WHOLE ENTIRE show
The outfits definitely were kinda tacky. But I like Lol Kim’s fit
Yeah this was pre-internet age.. All our stellar black celebrity gatherings, and stability in entertainment basically became sacrificed, scrambled & all over the place with the internet.. Plus Viacom had recently bought BET.. So these awards (and BET as a station) basically went downhill after about 08'..
Paris Hilton was at The BET Awards wow 😅
I forgot about Stevie playing 21 Questions on the harmonica. It sounds so good. Very bluesy. That song should've been like Drake - Doing It Wrong where Stevie played it toward the end.
Most of these celebrites still look this young!
Thank you for this!
Beyonce performance cleared everyone..but ASHANTI BABY! GREASED down in oil wow lol she did that
To this day I don’t understand why lil Kim changed her look. It’s so sad. She looked stunning here!
Lil Kim was so bad 😍
It was iconic
What a time to be alive 🥲
Michael Jackson didnt recieved Lifetime Achievement Award.. James Brown was honored and Michael brought down the house. That is my favorite moment. RIP to the legends.
Yes, I corrected that in a comment 7 months ago, probably should’ve pinned it to avoid confusion.
For the love of everything that's good, does anyone know where I can watch the full shows of these older BET Awards? I've been looking everywhere.
The KIM I miss geesh
I miss BET old logo 😢
James loved him some Michael
It may be laughable now but back then that fashion was the shii 😂 in 20 years we might all be wearing leaves 🍃 for fashion and laughing at this shinny Jean/showing skin era
DAMN I MISS NEO SOUL! BET MIDNIGHT LOVE WAS EVERYTHING! IYKYK
The greatest BET awards ever cause of the James Brown and Michael Jackson moment on stage
Can you do 05 too that was a year
The best ..u had james brown & mj on stage at the same time
Correction… Jaheim and R Kelly tied for best male RB artist
Memories 😍
Free was so sexy, classy, and beautiful… I loved her personality
not paris hilton at the awards, cheesin😁. that girl did NOT stay in the house back then, didnt matter what the event was.
Lil Kim was drop dead gorgeous 😍
2:07 OH Lord Have Mercy 🥵
You got a real dope channel I'm definitely gonna sub. BTW do you have anything from 2005?
They snubbed Missy out of everything lol
How when she won Best Female Hip Hop Artist??
as a kid born in 2006 i rlly wish i could've experienced life in the early 2000s everything seemed so fun and everybody seemed happy, its like life didn't have as many problems back then (besides racism and homophobia)
Why wasn’t bey nominated especially for crazy in love!
That year she had just came out solo but that next year in 2004 when Monique did the crazy in love dance she won everything
@@jsti5060 yes she won everything and it made it difficult for other R&B females to exist.
Yeah since she released all her solo work alongside her album in 2003, they would have to be submitted for 2004.
@@hiphopurbanpop could you do a video of the 2004 bet awards ?
@@shannystylez right this was a good year at BET but 2004 had the best show ever.
Foxy was there 😂😂😂😂😂
LaToya Jackson looked so cute
Summer of '03 was Litty AF
Smh 😩 well…. Ashanti’s skin was 🤩
My goat didn't show up to receive his award lol, bet you he was getting them shots up.
Latoya Jackson/Kim were at the 2030 bet awards 😂 if future proof was a dress/bikini it’d be the one on them
The last time it was actually good, And social media wasn’t here like that yet.
Idk what made Kim get plastic surgery cuz she looked fine back then and would've now
The same criticism she faces for her looks today
Paris Hilton felt so random her being there lmao
