VH-1 Honors Hip Hop:

[StarFish106]

Where was Ghostface during the Wu Tribute ...as much as I love Triumph I wanted them to do more from Enter the 36..Protect, Da Mystery, anything but CREAM. I am tired of hearing that song....

The 18th Letter--> Doing it with the R..wish he did Lyrics of Fury though but he still rocks it.

Now riddle me this..If they had Cube there and Yella (where has he been, he is the last perosn I expected to be there) you mean to tell me they couldn't find Ren, The DOC and Dre to be there for Easy's tribute? and yes Lil Eazy sounds just like his daddy. I like angry Cube....

Lyte..what can i say...in college that was my nickname (folks thought i looked like her) still can rock it. She has a cameo on one of De La''s later albums (either Grind Date or Bionix I think) and as usual she rips it.


It was good but to me there was nothing that matched Big Daddy's performance from last year.

I loved how Russell was just sitting there like "all this for me? gee thanks!" Thanks Russ (and Rick).

And George Clinton is as crazy as ever....but BOOTSY....BOOTZILLA BABY!


And to my hip hop head MulattoGyrl...we should compare personal collections. ...I think we would have a fabu time with the golden era of Rap..

[TheEpitome1920]

I really enjoyed last nights performance!! Lyte was beautiful and it was wonderful to see Kim with CLOTHES on.

True dat and that's because Kane is the ONLY lyricist/MC/performer/entertainer that has been honored so far.

Afrika Bambata is technically an entertainer/edutainer but he had a different type of stage presence. He wasn't trying to entertain so much as he was trying to educate about the Zooloo Nation or something...LOL.

Lyrics of Fury was hot. And yeah, where was Ghostface?

True.

Yes, we should compare collections...I have a duffle bag of tapes in my car that I haven't even gone through yet, lol.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYUUM @ The Skinny Boys!! My brother, unfortunately, sold our collection of 12 inches. . We had the Skinny Boys though. The only ones I can remember off the top of my head that might still be back home are the single Eric B. for President, LL's first album, MC Shan's first album, Criminal Minded, and The Message. We had SO many more though.

Awww, look at ya'll talking about old school hip-hop. I *heart* y'all.

KICK THIS ONE HERE FOR BROOKLYN!!!!

[DSTCHAOS]

Am I the only one here who only owns records and casettes with old school hip hop? I can't bring myself to buy CDs because it takes away that old school flava.

<----still listens to Smif N Wessun (Heltah Skeltah...Black Moon...Boot Camp...my favorite group of all time) and an old school hip hop compilation cassette everyday.

[DSTCHAOS]

I'm watching the re-run. I respect Wu Tang Clan and I miss ODB's crazy arse. His Brooklyn Zoo was classic.

MC Breeze was one of my favorites! Philly artist never get recognized for their contributions....Schooly D, 3XDope, Steady B...the only Philly artist they ever remember is Will Smith. Although Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince did change hip hop...they dared to be different and kept it clean.

When i went away to school that was always the first ?? i got asked is do you know Jeff and Will. I knew folks that was tight with them but not me personally.

EST from 3X Dope is a songwriter now. He got an award at the songwriter's version of the grammys like in 2003 or 2004 I believe. Few folks want to give Schooly D the credit of the godfather of gangsta rap. But the west coast does give it up to him for that. There were a lot of rappers/dj's from Philly that like you said don't get the credit. There are 3 DJ's that are still around and they are on the international scene: DJ King Britt (Central HS), DJ Viktor Duplaix (from DJ Master Don and Exotic Vic) and DJ Cash Money. They have all been in the International DJ competions that are held worldwide. They used to do a lot of the local clubs and house parties back in the late 80's (those were the days )
