IT WAS AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE
I hope you all were able to watch Vh1 Hip Hop Honors Monday night. If not, I'm sure you will be able to catch the reruns. The highlight for me was the TRIBE tribute, which closed the show. Even though Lupe's fumbling of Phife's verse on 'Electric Relaxation' wasn't that bad...many fans have been getting at him about it. (Poor Lupe). Anyway, Busta came and tore down his verse for Scenario..like the wild maniac we know him to be. ATCQ hit the stage hard and performed a couple of their own hits as well. The Whodini set was a nice one too that basically ended off almost like a dance competition. You really felt the energy up there and it seemed like a lot of fun. The New Jack swing tribute was a little more R&B flavored..but enjoyable nonetheless...Teddy Riley was beast when you think about all the joints he has done over the years and there were so many songs that weren't performed. I was kind of surprised that Missy didn't perform during her tribute. It was a pretty good set with Timbaland, Eve, Tweet, Ciara, Keyshia Cole and Nelly Furtado. Snoop's tribute was solid as expected. T.I. came out and handled his business with 'Deep Cover' followed by Pharrell and Daz doing 'Nuthin but a G thang". Of course Snoop came out with his lil homie Bow Wow..(wait, he's not little anymore..right?) And tore it down..also performing 'Drop it like it's hot'. The Wild Style Tribute hit you with a few originators of the game, Busy Bee, GrandMaster Caz and Grand Wizard Theodore..and the teacher...KRS One. Every one flowing to classic break beats. Overall it was a pretty good show. I'm not going to even get into some of the things I have questions about, that's a whole 'nother post.
