Scarface, known for his gritty street wise narratives, received the “I Am Hip Hop” award at the 10th annual BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.

The singer was reportedly taken away from the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center minutes after accepting the coveted career achievement award from Ludacris.

Scarface said before the show: “It’s definitely an honor”. He became popular with his group when they released the 1991 Top 10 hit song “Mind Playing Tricks on Me”.

According to the Associated Press, Diddy rocked the mic alongside Lil Kim and Styles P. The rap mogul debuted a new song called “Workin'”, which will probably appear on his next solo project under his new deal with Epic Records.

“He helped build a culture”, Rick Ross said of Scarface. “I look up to him. He deserves it. He along with the Geto Boys made a movement like no other”.

– Snoop Dogg hosted for the third year in a row.

– There were several recorded freestyle sessions, including Eminem and Redman.

Future also performed at the show albeit it was taped before Friday’s ceremony.
