Chaka, Charlie, and the "throwbacks".

Not sure about the "fun filled skits". They'll probably have folks laughing AT it, not WITH it.

Am I the only one with a case of deja vu? Feels like every year BET gives an "award" to the same 4-5 people every couple of years. Like if it ain't Smokey, it's Stevie or,if it ain't Stevie then it's Al Green or if it aint Al then it's tag, Chaka you're it. and so on and so forth scooby dooby doo.....lol
