Tyler, the Creator accepts the 'Rock The Bells Cultural Influence Award' onstage during the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center on Oct. 1, 2021 in Atlanta.snagged one of the top honors at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards, and, as his name so accurately pinpoints, he created one of the moments of the night.
The 30-year-old artist was on hand to receive the cultural influence award, which he did with an emotional speech on the power of hip-hop, and all those who blazed the trail. At the top, Tyler paraphrased Playboi Carti’s “RIP,” and the line, “Bought a crib for my mama off that mumblin' shit.”Hip-hop is a force of good, a game-changer and a life-saver. “This thing that’s a hobby, or a pastime or a passion for us, a lot of people here that shit kept us out of trouble,” he explained. “And it allowed us to change our families’ lives, our friends’ lives, our lives.”
He recounted hearing the prose of the old school, from Jay-Z to Wu-Tang Clan and others, and thinking at the time, the “community is just crazy that the things that we were able to see and experience because of this thing called rap and hip-hop. With rap, it’s like a pathway for a lot of us to really just go, to leave, to experience.”Tyler also paid tribute to those who laid the blueprint for himself and others.
