It's A Rap! Post #BETAwards By Michelle Stokes

 The 2014 BET Awards we're full of A list celebrities and Entertainers of all sorts. The 2014 awards was hosted by comedian/actor Chris Rock, who's comedic punchline's never fell short of a great laugh. Opening this years awards came from the artist that proved to have this years catchiest song, "HAPPY" performed by Pharrell Williams. Pharrell later surprised the audience with music innovator Missy Elliott. In my opinion, this years awards had some of this best performances to date. Usher Raymond served a medley of his hit records and ended his set with his hot new single, "Good Kisser " as he proved to the world that his mark as a overall talent has been solidified. While newcomer August Alsina , whom left home with his first two awards ever, collaborated with two of r&b's heart throb's Chis Brown and Trey Songz.

Nicki Minaj took home "Best Female Rapper" for the 5th time, performing her new single, "Pills and Potions" from her upcoming album titled "The Pink Print". One of my favorite performance of the evening was from my favorite singer John Legend (You and I) who assisted Jhene Aiko (The Worst), who's taking the music industry by storm with her beautiful vocal tones. The stage was also blessed with a comeback performance by Chris Brown performing smash hit "LOYAL" with Lil Wayne and Tyga. TI raps new single with Iggy Azalea and Iggy finishing off the show with her hit "Fancy". Best  Female Gospel Award went to Tamela Mann.

Jennifer Hudson has gained grave reviews for her black leather pleaded mini dress which was custom designed by my mother, Celebrity Fashion Guru, Linda Stokes of LSO Designs. The Tribute to Lionel Richie, whom received the Lifetime Achievement Award, was deserving. The tribute to those who have transitioned over in 2014 from the Bobby Womack piece, to Phylicia Rashad classy tribute to Maya Angelou and Ruby Dee, was heartfelt. Sealed with a satellite performance of the industries hottest couple, Jay Z and Beyonce's ON THE RUN TOUR.

Coffee With Cream: Still I RISE.... My Tribute To The Remarkable Maya...

Coffee With Cream: Still I RISE.... My Tribute To The Remarkable Maya...:                        Still I Rise You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness,...

Still I RISE.... My Tribute To The Remarkable Maya Angelou

                       Still I Rise
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
By Maya Angelou

On This Day..... Mat 28th, 2014
We lost an Inspirational author, poet, historian, civil rights activist, dancer, producer, playwright, performer, singer, director in Maya Angelou. Born, Marguerite Johnson, on April 4, 1928 in St. Louis, she touched the masses with her poetry. Maya Angelou was best known for her autobiographical books. Letter to My Daughter (2008), The Heart Of AWoman (1981) and I Know Why A Caged Bird Sings (1969), just to name a few. 
Maya's wrote and published many books of poetry. One in particular; Just Give Me A Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie (1971) in which she was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. The first African American female director in Hollywood, she wrote , produced, directed, as well as playing the lead role.  Maya Angelou has accomplished many facets of the entertainment industry to writing original screen plays, producing many award winning documentaries, a two times Tony award nominee for Look Away (1973) and in (1977) for her immaculate performance in Roots. To coordinating the Southern Christian Leadership Conference at the request of Dr. Martin Luther King, in 1959.
Maya Angelou passed in Winston Salem, North Carolina. She was 86 years of age. 
Sleep now Angel, for you have completed your mission. Never to be forgotten, for your poetry will live on forever, You are My Inspiration to Write- Michelle Stokes
