Victoria Monét and Usher attend Usher, Rémy Martin and The House of Creed Host Post-Performance Dinner Party at Cathédrale Las Vegas at Cathédral Restaurant on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.chart-topper Usher, decked out in an all-black ensemble and shades, received the Voice of the Culture Award in front of an adoring crowd of peers and press.
The night kicked off with a red carpet on the hotel’s rooftop, which included appearances from Erica Campbell, T.I.,, Ernest Isley, Alex Isley, Deputy, Nascent, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Johntá Austin, The Avila Brothers, and more. Several stars took a moment to speak with, including Campbell, who revealed her favorite gospel song from a songwriting standpoint. “What comes to my mind first is ‘Trust In God’ by The Winans,” she said.
In that vein, T.I. also reflected on his own diss track legacy, reacting to his No. 15 onlist. “This is a spectator sport, that’s what the spectators said! As a contributor to the culture, I’m just happy to be on people’s minds,” he said, before naming Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” Nas’ “Ether,” Jay-Z’s “Takeover,” Dr. Dre’s “F–k Wit Dre Day” and Ice Cube’s “No Vaseline” as his picks for the best-written diss tracks in hip-hop history.
Parenthood also served as a key talking point for Usher, who delivered a rousing twelve-minute speech to accept his Voice of the Culture Award. After a pair of touching introductions from ASCAP president Paul Williams and Dupri — who’s currently cooking up new music with Ari Lennox and Young Dylan — Usher took the stage, doling out infinite thanks to the many friends, family members, team members, and mentors who have helped him navigate his groundbreaking 30-year career.
