00:00Billboard would like to present this year's 2025 Impact Award to Ms. Cardi B.
00:18Another one.
00:24Oh my gosh, I didn't even write a speech or nothing, honey.
00:28Oh, Lord, let me tell you, but I want to say thank you, Billboard, for this award.
00:37I am so happy to be a part of something that has always been a part of me.
00:44You know what I'm saying?
00:45Like growing up, just not even in the Bronx and New York, like hip-hop is just, New York
00:53is the home of hip-hop, especially the Bronx.
00:55And I don't know if I got some people from the Bronx here.
01:00You know what I'm saying?
01:01You know what I'm saying?
01:02I went to three schools in the Bronx, 126, 232, and Lehman.
01:07And for some reason, they always let you know in music class and in history class, they always
01:13let you know the history of hip-hop and where it started and why it started.
01:17I always say this, hip-hop is more than just rapping.
01:24Hip-hop, because everybody could, people could put words together.
01:28People could do poems.
01:29People could rap fast, talk fast.
01:31But hip-hop is a feeling.
01:33Like when I was growing up and I saw hip-hop artists and I saw some of these female hip-hop
01:39artists, I wanted to be the Shakira's and the J-Lo's and the R&B artists.
01:45I wanted to be like Trina and like Lil' Kim.
01:49I wanted to be like them.
01:51And I'm just so happy that I am part of something that I always love.
01:57And thank you.
02:00And you know what I'm saying?
02:03I always, I always, I always dreamed about this career.
02:10I just feel like the environment that I was in, dreaming was just dreaming.
02:17You know what I'm saying?
02:17The reality crushes your dreams.
02:20So I'm happy that like my career is the career that I always dream of.
02:25And everything that I do, I always want to be at least one of the best.
02:28At least, I don't, I don't just want to be, she was, she was here and she was there.
02:34I want to be, I want to be spoken like forever.
02:38Like we speak about all these hip-hop artists that came 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
02:43I want to be part of that.
02:44I don't want to be a moment.
02:45And I try my best not to be a moment.
02:49I want to be a legacy for me so I could die in peace one day.
02:55And for my kids to be like, yeah, that was my mama.
02:58And I want to say thank you, everybody, because if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be here.
03:05If it wasn't for your support, whether you put, you know what I'm saying?
03:09Hey, God, I have so many kids, honey.
03:12I need to close my legs.
03:17Stitch them.
