To many rappers doing their own material. I know that sounds nuts, but I like the tributes.
When the hell is Rakim gonna get some love?
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! JAZZY JEFF PROVED AGAIN WHY HE IS THE BADDEST MAN TO TOUCH A TURNTABLE! He should have had a longer part.
But in general, I really like the spirit of the event even if the actual production quality of it could use some serious tightening.
Not that I like MTV or anything, but I grew up thinking of VH1 as the old people's version.
As the supposed target audience of this thing, am I that old?!?!
Second thought VH1's been killing MTV for a minute now...I guess I am[/b] that old.
The best part of the show. It just went off, it was crazy. Black Thought, Common, T.I. and the man himself. The Roots playing, Biz on the turntables. It was crazy.
Peace
Fuck the whole show now. I'm a huge BIG fan. That was wack.
Fuck Kanye too. His bitch ass probably had them use his wack beat from the Jay Z song Dream to have Luda rap over it. How the fuck you gonna do a BIG tribute by having him do Big's recycled verse from someone else's album????????????
AND NOW EVERYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY LITTLE CEE'S WAS A HYPEMAN AND KEPT HIS ASS IN THE BACKGROUND.
Props to everything except BIG'S part.
if i have to watch another award show where puffy feels the obligation to pay tribute to biggie because he feels responsible for his death, i might go crazy. just relax soul strutters, it's one man's opinion, and i know a lot of you won't agree with it, and i'm ok with it.
also common's windmills and i love black people tee shirt were pretty cool too.
as well as grandmaster flash, jazzy jeff, and kid capri's DJ segment. anyone notice that the record skipped twice while they were doing the carousel routine?
WHY ISN'T KANE ON DEF JAM?
Well, Def Jam Left is coming... who knows who might pop up on that label.
But most old school rappers can kill it live even to this day. Doesn't mean that the public is gonna want to buy new records from them, unfortunately.
exactly....
the event/performances are dope,
but
some of these camera shots are annoying the hell out of me...the direction/production is
and oh yeah...... NIA LONG IS FINE AS HELL!!!!!!!!
damn she was looking nice....
the dance routine, dog! the dance routine!
i almost jumped on the couch and scared the family!
Same here, well, except for the family part 'cause I live alone. Dudes must be in their 40's and shit STILL bustin' fly shit!

Wrath of Kane studio version on the flip of the I'll Take You There 12" =
Pepa was looking extra fucking sexy. Why did Treach leave her?
?????????
and black thought & common get a pass becuase???? you need to explain these types of sentiments as some of us southern folk don't take too kindly to statements like this...
kane ripped it, and i don't see any reason why TI can't get the opportunity to rap alongside a dude he obviously looked up to.
laughable.
i'll give you that TI didn't come off that great when doing his verse of smooth operator, but "paid more dues".....c'mon man. please let me know who is keeping track of the "rap dues" and what it entails (i.e making crappy records like electric circus????). TI been rapping for a minute (originally as TIP), has a good amount of material out, does some good things for the community and likewise been caught up in some not so good things too.
y'all don't like him, thats one thing, but "paid more dues". can't buy that one homie.
