Queen Latifah is such a legend that they had to call on someone equally legendary to pay tribute to her at VH1's Hip Hop Honors last night. None other than the Internet's favorite Golden Girl, Betty White, did a dramatic reading of the Queen's classic anti-disrespect song "U.N.I.T.Y."
It was everything you've ever dreamed, and more.
From the moment she delivered that famously mouthy demand—"Who you calling a bitch?"—in withering tones, we knew White was going to nail it. "I walked past these dudes," she continued. "When they passed me, one of them felt my booty. He was nasty. Since he was with his boys, he tried to break fly. Huh! I punched him dead in his eye."
To end her tribute, the actress lamented, "They don't write 'em like that anymore."
They certainly do not.
