Not only did Missy Elliott make me cry, but the audience standing at her request was a Mind Blower! Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott were my first two female rappers that earned my respect for their music! ❤

Right? Not only two of the most amazing women in the music business, but two of the most amazing women, period.

Queen Latifah and Missy Elliot are both living legends, trendsetters, and icons!

This is what I miss, when female rappers supported and praised each other. They didn’t diss each other or have social media beefs. I love that Missy introduced her, being she is in a lane all her own as well. UNITY, let’s get it ladies!!!! Congrats to The Queen Dana

Yes Missy this was a brilliant speech. ❤

This made be tear up. Queen Latifah meant so much to young girls seeing her on their tv and hearing her empowering lyrics. Missy said exactly how those of us who witnessed it feel. QL was life changing for "us".

And now let's get the ball rolling for Latifah's induction in the R&RHOF next year as an Early Pioneer. She's long overdue for the induction as well.

yes!!!

Missy made me cry especially when she spoke of Queen Latifah's mother and said it is pronounced MOTHA. That was an honorific that brought me back in the day. I'm a near 60 African American gay man. My motha provided me so many life lessons. She was not perfect but her imperfections taught me even more because it was what she did not do like the rest of folks did that made her so damned unique, powerful, and such a presence of fire/love. Fire/Love are the two coins of the essence of what I inherited from my motha. Dana Elaine Owens renamed herself Queen Latifah and created a blueprint that allowed both Black men and Black women and all women and all men if they so choose to recreate themselves in the image of someone who takes no prisoners but can do that with love and respect, which is what she demanded in return. Thank you Missy for capturing that so well. Thank you Queen for inspiring all of us Black folk to not internalize what the dominant culture -- yes that one -- derides and demeans and belittles us and deigns as our destiny. Queen Latifah's roadmap? Demand your respect, and do with a fire and love so brilliant, your star will outshine that which White folk cannot see in us. Amen.

I love the fact that they honored the Queen. They should've been doing that. Also, the females of Hip-Hop showed up and showed out and looked good doing it. Moni, YoYo, Missy, and MC did their thing.

How happy was when I heard she was being honored! Much deserved! Loved Missy and her speech was awesome!❤❤❤

Another Woman uplifting another and not tearing her down.

Missy's speech was on-point and a beautiful tribute. Queen Latifah is a trailblazer. And she is a great person too in a world that is lacking them. Congratulations on this honor, Queen Latifah.

Yoooo Missy the speech was fireee congrats Queen La you deserve it

Missy's tribute moved me to tears....Awesome!

The Queen Latifah with a great friend like Missy. Wow! Two queens!

Queen said 'instinct leads me to another flow'...no matter what she's doin on screen whn I see her I hear the saxophone frm U.N.I.T.Y💪🏾😄 & I love it

As soon as I saw her portrait behind Missy I thought of her mother. Yes, we all reflect our moms of all color for who we are and what we have become. Amen, sister!

Queen indeed!

Crazy how underrated Queen Latifah is, despite being arguably the greatest female rapper of all time that has gone on to be one of the most successful Hollywood stars of as well.

Queen all your accomplishments are well deserved. ❤️ Missy you ain’t no slacker yourself and I see you too Sis and love you. I’m sure just as I’m sure of you being a marker, pillar, turning point, or whatever anyone wants to call it in music and the culture period. That Baby Girl is and always will be cheering from up above “That’s my Sister right there!” ❤️🙏🏽👑

Missy went hard with this tribute and I loved every moment of it 😊

For me, even when there was a plethora of lady MCs, Queen Latifah stood out from the rest. Her talents are many, as she's shown over the years. I even saw her sing and play the piano in those early years. She never fell to amaze me and thanks to Missy, another Icon, for making sure the Queen was uplifted and celebrated. Congrats Queen.

Fantastic! So well said.

Growing up a chubby little tom boy in the ghetto watching Queen Latifah and Missy unapologetically being themselves...wow.

Missy did a wonderful job speaking from the ❤

Two of my favorite, and according to me, the two best female rappers of all time!

Beautiful speech for a very deserving woman. Thank you Queen Latifah.

Thank you Missy. ❤️👑 For that wonderful speech. I’ve been watching Bringing Down the House, starring Queen Latifah and Steve Martin over and over and listening to her music on my playlist. Just genuinely love her so much. Glad to see she’s getting what she finally deserves. ❤️👑💐💐💐

Queen Latifah is the G.O.A.T.!!!

She said you’re gonna stand up for my friend! Queen Latifa is SO deserving. I’m so honored to have witnessed this in my lifetime. ❤️

Queen Latifah is an Amazing Woman, Role model, singer, Actress, and much more. She seems like one of the celebrities who is just down to earth. Love her TV show. CONGRATS!

Wow... That speech was outstanding...!!!

Yesss!!! The Queen deserves her flowers and then some. She was and still is an inspiration to my 40 yr old self.

They weren't ready!!

Congratulations to the best to ever do it. You are rays of sun and we thank you for choosing to be that.
