The 2010 Bet Awards had several memorable moments, including a diva-packed tribute to lifetime-achievement honoree Prince, a pregnant Alicia Keys rocking out harder than ever and comebacks from Kanye West, Chris Brown and El DeBarge.
However, viewers have been abuzz since Sunday's live broadcast about a moment that was noticeably absent from the show: a tribute honoring late lyricist Guru. A Bet higher-up, however, has insisted that the lack of recognition for the Gang Starr Mc, who succumbed to cancer earlier this year, was not an oversight but rather the product of a technical snafu.
"It was nothing more than a technical glitch," said Bet Executive Vice President of Entertainment and Music Programming Stephen Hill, who was involved in staging the show, according to AllHipHop.com.

The youngest member and former bassist of the Isley Brothers, Marvin Isley, died on Sunday. Although his spokesperson did not release a cause of death, The Washington Post reports that the musician died from complications related to diabetes. In the 90s, both Isley’s legs were amputated following the diagnosis of the disease. According to ABC News, he stopped performing in 1996. Although Isley joined the group in 1973, many years after some of the Isley Brothers’ most recognizable hits—”Shout,” “Twist and Shout,” and “It’s Your Thing”—he did play bass on the popular remake of “That Lady.” According to the Post, “[t]he infectious song, with Marvin Isley's kinetic bass grooves and Ernie Isley's stunning, Hendrix-influenced guitar work, gave notice of how mainstream soul was changing under the influence of Hendrix and such funk bands as Mandrill and Parliament/Funkadelic.”...

The Isley Brothers have lost their groovemaster. Marvin Isley, the youngest of the R&B siblings who provided the thumping bass lines that helped drive the band's chart success in the '70s and early '80s, died Sunday morning. He was 56. Cousin and Isley keyboardist Chris Jasper told the New York Times that Marvin died at an inpatient hospice at Weiss Memorial Hospital, where he had been residing after suffering complications from diabetes. The disease forced Isley to retire in 1996 and cost him his legs, which had to be amputated, and the use of his left hand. He had also been stricken in recent years by high blood pressure and a stroke. In his prime playing days, however,...

Bassist and youngest member of The Isley Brothers, Marvin Isley, died on Sunday morning, June 6 at the age of 56. The New York Times reported that Marvin's death was caused by diabetes, the disease he has fought for more than 20 years.
Marvin passed away at the Seasons Hospice within Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, according to representatives at both facilities. The late musician stopped performing five years after The Isley Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
Marvin's retirement decision was made because of complications from diabetes. By that time, he'd suffered a stroke and had a kidney transplant. Diabetes also led him to have his both legs amputated in 1997 and he, additionally, lost the use of his left hand.
Marvin Isley, who was born on August 18, 1953, joined The Isley Brothers in 1973, when the group who were initially formed with three eldest brothers of Isley expanded to six performers.

It's a sad, sad day here at MTV News. Even as we all recover from last night's Movie Awards, we're forced to confront the cold, harsh reality of another talented artist leaving us too soon. Marvin Isley, The Isley Brothers' bass player, died yesterday in Chicago at the age of 56.
The Isley Brothers were one of the premiere pop funk-soul groups of the '70s, responsible for a range of hits that include "It's Your Thing," "That Lady," "Between the Sheets" (which Notorious B.I.G. famously sampled for Big Poppa) and, of course, "Shout," among many others. They've released more than 30 albums since "Shout!" debuted in 1959. What's more, many of those songs have gone on to put in memorable movie appearances. I've embedded my very favorite, a true classic, after the jump. R.I.P., Marvin... you will be missed.
To be fair, this rendition of "Shout" comes from Otis Day & the Knights,...
