There are many good rappers, but there is no one like Queen Latifah. I love Raz rapper. I love her as an actress and I love her as a person. I would love one day to meet her. She’s so inspiring.
Only the best For Queen Latifah. You know you had to come correct! Beatiful she throughly deserves it always carried herself always. Rhapsody brings hope to Hip Hop.❤
Hey Jukebox Heroes... you set up this clip so beautifully and with so much class. Having "Sweet Home Chicago" as an opening jingle is a nice honorary nod to President Obama. Thank you for preserving this herstorical moment. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I cried for most of this video, bc this was a recognition that is not only well deserved, but long overdue for Queen Latifah. Long story, but it’s a good one. In the fall of 1999, I was a 16 year old girl who was living in the inner city of Cincinnati Ohio. I had started smoking weed and drinking at around age 13-14. Not old enough nor wise enough to recognize the long line of addiction on my maternal side of the family. By the fall of 1999 I was a few months shy of my 17th bday. (My 42nd bday is today, just thought I’d add that, lol). But I was definitely on a bad path that would have inevitably ended with either me dead, or a life in and out of the DOC. I had pretty much been on my own since 15, but still had a semi decent relationship with my parents. I just didn’t wanna follow their rules and I was extremely rebellious. My parents were very concerned about me, so they contacted the Queen Latifah show. The show called back and the next thing I knew we were on a plane to NYC. I was on the Queen Latifah show titled “Parents Who Fear For Their Teens Lives”. We discussed my drug and alcohol use and the issues with my rebellion and the dysfunction in my relationships with my parents and siblings, due to my addiction turning me into someone I was not. I was too young and naive to understand that I was on a very bad path in life and if I didn’t turn things around, like I said, drugs or prison were inevitable. But I said all of this bc Queen Latifah saved me from the inevitable. She saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. She saw that I had potential and she wanted me to see what she saw in me. Queen Latifah didn’t want to see me continue to stay on the path I was on. So during filming, she offered me an opportunity to do kinda like a scared straight program, where the producers take me and a few other of the teenagers to a prison in Maryland. And I agreed to go. So after we taped the episode, production was getting us all off stage to head backstage to the green rooms, and I heard my name being called. I turn around and Queen Latifah was walking towards me. She came up to me, put her hands on both of my shoulders like a big sister would do if they were concerned about their little sister. And said “I’m very proud of you for accepting this opportunity to get help, and to see what it’s really like when you’re in prison”. And then she proceeded to make me understand that I was so young and had so much life ahead of me. And she told me I was very bright and that I had so much potential, and advised me that those streets would ultimately lead me down a path of lifelong problems and heartache. After she talked to me, she pulled me in and gave me the biggest, most genuine hug and told me she believed in me. I will always remember her words for the rest of my life. And I owe a lot to Queen Latifah bc she definitely was instrumental in saving me from a life of crime and drugs and other terrible things. If only I could thank her in person! ❤ I adore Queen Latifah so much. I wish she knew how much she really helped a young, lost, scared 16 year old girl, who was making very poor choices in life. Queen Latifah will forever be my hero and my idol! ✨❤

What are the songs the Clark sisters are singing? My mom rest in peace use to play them and it’s on the tip of my tongue just can’t put my finger on it. Someone please help me
Couldn't firefighters, doctors, scientists be awarded? I respect queen Latifah but honor should be granted to people who actually contribute to society in another way more meaningful than entertainment..
She actually does contribute to society in more ways than entertainment tho she’s just not one of those celebrities who want a cookie for giving back on top of that entertainment is literally what the Kennedy cent was build for and centered around who else would they be honoring except entertainers
No, they can’t receive an honor dedicated to those that contribute to the arts. They do receive other honors though - Nobel, Bates, and Fields to name a few. If you don’t know this, you should not comment
I'm not saying that she has not had a great career but when you look at past Kennedy Center recipients you're going to tell me that her career mirrors people like that ? She's not even the best female rapper, but that's our society now I want to give out stuff to people just because
Why couldn't you just come out and say you don't like her and her music? Far out the distaste from you is so clear and loud lol. You tell me what woman in hiphop has achieved what she's done since she's "not the best female rapper?". You can't compare her career to others as they all brought something different to the scene of music. Yea calm down over there in the peanut gallery 😂
@@Sean-i7t MC lyte is the fucking queen - thats who Latifah looked up too. Or why couldn't you mention a caliber like Missy with her vast achievements on and off the scene? While we talking about hip hop how about LL Cool J'? He was a significant benchmark because he is the first-ever hip-hop artist to receive the honor and THE youngest: should the board had stopped him getting this award because of his age? Know more what this award is about before coming on here with "she's better" 🤭 this is about impact - Latifah has done that. You barely see black woman let alone a woman of colour that has made a impact in both movies and music like she has - and still going strong.
@labrne5659 my comments have nothing to do with Queen Latifah's career, which is great, but not Kennedy Center Honor worthy. And you think a average show at best on Fox, a couple of movie roles, and currently can't be on the side of original is doing a knockoff of already TV show and movie series,, and totally unbelievable to add. So I don't have nothing to do with being a woman but I will tell you this she is the industry's safe black woman. I guess they'll be getting cardi b's and nicki minaj's medal ready soon too
@Sean-i7t safe black woman? What's that supposed to mean 😂 that unconscious bias of yours is written all over you. She's worked hard, and that's not good enough? What more she has to prove to be worthy of this?? Yea, exactly you don't know. Then you have no idea what this award is about. A couple of roles?? Well, you exactly proved my point - that you dont know what she's achieved. It's ok if you don't know lol... but coming on here and sounding so ignorant- does not look good on you

Another one who is forgetting where they came from. Building luxury housing in Newark and no affordable housing. Sad
