LL Cool J was honored with the I Am Hip Hop Icon award during the BET Hip-Hop Awards, which aired last night.
 
Instead of giving a traditional acceptance speech, the veteran rapper gave his words of acceptance in rhyme form saying:
 

"My acceptance speech/what I won't do is try preach/I won't assume that I am smarter than you and try to teach/What I will do is set an example for you and inspire you to reach for the stars that's beyond mars that space bars can't delete…" Congratulations to LL Cool J.
