LL Cool J was awarded Hip Hop Icon Award. LL Cool J is "the Truth'period' " said Mary J. LL Cool J said, "as I was coming here I wrote something down that just popped in my head". He proceeded to read from his mobile a speech as deft as any of his raps or rhymes. Here are a few gems. "My acceptance speech, what I wont do is try to preach, what I wont do is assume that I am smarter than you and try to teach, what I will do is set an example and inspire you to reach for the stars beyond Mars that the space bars can't delete. Because without a dream fulfilled your life's incomplete like a Hearst a limousine without a backseat." He touched on politics and being the best. After the speech it was easier to understand why he was anointed with the Icon trophy the man was a triple threat.
