BET Music Matters at SXSW

BET Music Matters at SXSW special guest and performers.

T.I. - @Tip: I’m shocked & saddened to find that the world has lost such a great spirited person. Paul Walker was not only a passionate, talented actor, he was also a sincere man with a genuine personality, that filled a room immediately upon introduction. My family’s hearts & prayers is extended to his family, especially his daughter. He will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace. #RIPPAULWALKER   (Photo: Daniel Boczarski/Getty Images for BET)

If I was out there I ain’t taking no pictures ... 'cause it ain’t about me. It ain’t about me selling my music, it’s about a cause." Listen to more here. (Photo: Candice Lawler/BET Networks)
