Actress-comedian Leslie Jones began her hosting gig at the BET Awards with a loud and epic monologue in which she dissed the new generation of rappers and also made fun of model Amber Rose's racy picture.

Noting how many things have changed since she was coming up, she said, "When I was coming up you could understand their names because they belonged to them."

Giving an example, she said Ol' Dirty Bastard was exactly that.

"What's a Lil Yachty. Is it a small boat? Why don't you want to be a Big Yachty? I don't understand?" she questioned.

Leslie also joked about herself, saying she's about to turn 50 in September, reported Hollywood Life.
 

"That's right. Black don't crack, but you do have to use some lotion," she said.

Later on the show, the "Saturday Night Live" cast member mocked Amber Rose's raunchy Instagram picture.

Leslie lied down on the stairs leading to the stage to reenact Amber's pose and took her own picture, but with her clothes on.
