Wayne was insane in that time. but if u look at all the nominees, they all were great compared to today. like anyone could have won and it would be okay
Damn what a golden era for the genre. This is about as stiff competition as it gets: Jay-Z, Snoop, Lil Wayne, Common, and Kanye all putting Iconic hits out that year. Nostalgia!!!!!
Fr tho! Who we got today toping that line up? And don’t mention the obvious(Kendrick, cole, nicki) because they’re from a previous generation I’m talking now!
The thing people always overlook about Kanye is at these award shows he always stands up for the creatives who most deserve it based upon THE ART. Everyone remembers the Taylor incident but overlooks the countless times he's given awards away to other artists he thinks deserved it more. .... I don't remember the Taylor video that won, but I sure as hell remember how the Single Ladies video looked.
@@jeniffer6388 because the Taylor swift incident is an additional example of how Kanye credited another artist, who he believed deserved the award more .
that was kanye having a moment of “nah wayne should’ve won” without disrespecting the event. he barely spoke of himself he thought wayne should’ve won clearly
Its like he almost said it but at the same time its still the undertone of “nah this IS mine though” he respects wayne 100% but he does it while being 100% confident in himself as well. Its a wild balance.
@@6eoStorm Damn was a pretty bad album and I really like Kendrick. But he's only made 3 albums his whole career, first two were classics, third pretty mediocre. Kanye made 6 classic albums in a row (Dropout - Yeezus) and every single one has a drastically different musical style. Atm Kendrick is nowhere close to what Kanye did in his prime, but I'm excited for his next album.

@@promonant ??? The 2008 awards were basically based on the performance of the artists the year prior, which is when Ye sold like a million first week with Grad. I don't get how anyone is saying he didn't deserve this.
At a separate award show (think it was the AMAs) he also gave his Best Male Artist award to Wayne and said he felt like Wayne was the best male artist that year and that he hopes to get it next year. And gave some award he won to UGK and OutKast for Intl Players Anthem. But people don't remember all that, they just remember the stage crash. He's always been about recognizing the true top talent and highest effort in that year for award shows. He takes it more seriously than the voting committee does
Kanye was definitely doing his thing around this time, but Wayne was on a different level, everything he touched was a hit, Wayne should have won this award hands down,
Damn this might be the toughest ever. They were judging off of late 2007 Kanye when he dropped Graduation that almost sold 1M. The Carter 3 vs. Graduation. Can’t Tell Me Nothing vs. A Milli, Good Life vs. Got Money, Flashing Lights vs. Mrs. Officer
I don’t know bro everything Kanye touched was gold also… Kanye was on top of the world at this point. Wayne and Kanye changed the world together. Modern hip hop owes everything to these two no artist has changed things up as much as them since.
@@d1noly434 exactly 2 amazing albums it could have went either way, but also remember all the features Wayne was on also. Everyone in the game wanted him to put a verse on they’re song around that time lol. But it was a toss up between these 2 for sure
Kanye west been a real G from day one. Showing love to people and respect to creatives. His personality is larger than life. I wish he would be remembered for the great contributions he did for the culture.
Moments like these make Ye noted as so well rounded. How can you hate this man. He’s what I read before in the comments on another post, “Kanye is what a real person who got famous is like.” He don’t hide the good or the bad. He’s human. Gotta love my G. Day one Kanye fan over here🙋🏾♀️.

@@bigdaddy793-1 yes. I agree. I hate that they call him crazy. I hate when small minded people just put people in boxes and categories instead of actually seeking to understand. But I love how graceful Ye is and how he keeps going no matter what them haters say.
Honestly for me 2008 was the pinnacle of hip hop in the ‘00s. And Lil Wayne was the king. Everyone knew it and everyone still knows it. Doesn’t matter if it was one of his many features, his mixtapes, or one of his studio albums, every time he got in the booth he killed the competition. Kanye knew it and that’s why he brought him up with him. Side note: the fact that Young Jeezy and T.I. weren’t nominated is freaking puzzling to me. Jeezy, T.I., Kanye, and Lil Wayne all had huge albums drop that year. Even the Game’s LAX was massively overlooked. Just my opinion though
People don’t know this, but the BET awards goes off who was the best the previous year. In 2007 Kanye West drop Graduation, Lil Wayne drop the Drought 3. 2007 is really when lil Wayne only emerged into it or started approaching “SUPER STAR” status. Now that I look at it, yes Kanye deserve the award and it was the right pick. Lil Wayne won the fan favorite award this year at the BET awards too. I think if they let the fans choose who were the best everyone would have voted Wayne and he would have won the award. That’s why Kanye West literally pushed Wayne on the stage and let him walk first!! Bro he’s not STUPID! They all knew LIL WAYNE WAS COMING and it was for sure possible he was going to TAKE OVER EVERYTHING! And he did, the dude drop the Carter 3 and sold over 1.5 million in the first week. That’s shit NEVER happened before with no rapper! Kanye said “Wayne you scare me” bro Wayne was extremely dangerous back then he fucked clean over ANY and EVERY ARTIST for 3 years straight! That will NEVER happen again. Birthed a new generation of rappers, everyone literally dress like him talk like him and always admit that Wayne is one of their biggest influences. But best believe who won the best hip hop artists the very next year. Lil Wayne. 🙏🏽
Carter 3 had just came out a few weeks before this award show and the graduation album was fire and been out for like a year at this point for the people saying Wayne should of won. That being said Wayne’s the goat though lol
This takes me back to when hip hop was everything to me. The period of 04-10 that I grew up in was just banger after banger and everything was either a classic or close. In 08 it wasn't just Ye and Weezy in prime form but TI too. It was like a rap trinity of epic music.
@@iam_champ They leave him out of every great list ever made. Even back when he was literally running things the industry found ways to go around him. Like how they gave Luda the grammy over TI's King album during the 06/07 season and that shit was beyond impressive. Only some of the top artists themselves would acknowledge him mostly back in those days. Eminem, Wayne, Kanye & Jay. Almost everybody else overlooked him
Lil Wayne was my favourite rapper at the time from 2006 to 09 boy had hits for days aha and the genius himself Mr Kanye west is the greatest artist of the 21st century
Kanye did the same thing with Outkast and UGK, when he won at the BET awards in 07. And gave the award to them. Cause he felt they should have won it over him for Intel 'Players Anthem. He respected their creativity of the song. He always have shown love to other artist before him and artist he felt was his competition.
From 2003-2010 was when I was living my best life! No money in my account and a high-school dropout solely surviving on music!! Thank all these artists and many more for the bangers created 🙌
I need my UA-cam recommendations to be filled with videos like this. Nothing from today could compare to the feeling of watching awards shows of the past and literally all your favorite music artist and stars were there.
Thank you so much for this video, I been trying to find this for the longest, I love this!!! Wayne my favorite rapper & Kanye goood, so for him to bring em on stage & call him out of being one of the greatest, that's RESPECT‼️❤💪🏾
I know people say the 90s was the golden era of hip hop but idk.. the 2000s has multiple artists that could be considered the goat.. kanye, wayne, em, jay z, 50.. it was crazy back then.. we really didn’t appreciate all this greatness.
The crazy part is people during this time period, people thought hip hop was dead. The subject matter and lyrics were really dumbed down at this point. A lot of one hit wonders came out during this 05-08 period with something like a song and dance. Kanye and Wayne were on fire during this era and put out some classic material. Both are 🐐
This is the moment I realised Kanye was a true fucking great. I was disappointed when Wayne didn't win but when Kanye brought him along and admitted he was scared of him I realised he was deserving of it too. To this day I always give Kanye the benefit of doubt even when there's a shitstorm around him.
Dude won the award & spent most of his speech talking about Wayne, just shows the level Wayne was at during these days man 🐐🐐🐐
