Kendrick Lamar presented the lifetime achievement I Am Hip-Hop Award to Snoop Dogg at this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta. “He mastered the game through tests and challenges that earned him the respect of a college professor, except his game came from the streets,” Lamar said in his introduction. “Snoop Dogg was the guy, and he continues to be so.” Watch Lamar’s speech, Snoop’s acceptance speech, and a video featuring Dr. Dre, YG, Pharrell, and more extolling Snoop’s virtues below.
