Yo Tribute to ATCQ....yup, LOVED IT!!!! I agree with ladylike if Latifah, JB, De La, Monie would habe been there and did Buddy...I wouldn't have been no more good.

A Tribe Called Quest is being celebrated for their ingenuity and creativity tonight on Hip Hop Honors, but one of its members, Phife Dawg, gets extra respect for the courage he’s brought to his battle against diabetes. The ailment afflicts a big chunk of the African American population; reports tell us that 13 percent of blacks over the age of 20 suffer with the condition. Phife, one of the Tribe’s founding members, is fighting the condition with dialysis, and a recent switch in treatments has made him feel much better, one of the reasons he was able to participate in the Honors show.

“For the last 3 yrs I’ve been a dialysis patient,” says Phife. “The first two years I was on peritoneal dialysis, which caused me to gain a great deal of weight. For the last seven months I’ve switched over to hemodialysis, which has caused me to lose weight and has me feeling a whole lot better. Most people aren’t used to seeing me at this weight. Initially, I weighed too much for my size and height and now I’m where I need to be.”

As for his future outlook, Phife says: “My best friend and manager, Rasta Root, volunteered to be tested as a potential kidney donor, and he passed the screening process. It’s great news for me! Hopefully that will happen sooner than later. It’s been a tough year, but things are looking great for me.
I am grateful that my group is receiving this honor, and would like to thank friends, family and fans for their prayers and well wishes.”
Hip Hop Honors CO-Executive Producer Fab 5 Freddy was thrilled that his friend’s current condition allowed for full participation. “Working on this year’s show was a labor of love, our best ever, and Phife’s health was constantly on our minds as we re-worked shoots and interviews to accommodate his good days and bad days all the while hoping and praying that he’d have a good day on show day so the world could nod there heads once again to A Tribe Called Quest, one of hip hop’s most unique and creative groups. They were prime representatives of young black artistic intelligence throughout the 90s, a rare commodity in today’s hip-hop landscape. Phife had a great day at Hip Hop Honors and Tribe closed the show with a big bang.”

The man with Teddy Riley was Chauncy from Blackstreet.

WHY oh WHY was T-Pain singing "I Want Her"? They couldn't find Keith Sweat?

Keyshia Cole needs to sit down right next to T-pain.

ATCQ was THE BEST tribute. I would've lost my mind of they did Buddy.

I wish Missy would have mentioned Aaliyah during her tribute. I believe producing Aaliyah's cd One in a Million solidified Missy as a producer.

And where did Harvey Keitel fit into all of this

?

Really, that was Chauncey, well whatever he has been on, he needs to leave it alone.

I was asking some of my friends that same exact thing earlier today when I was watching, because I couldn't figure out the connection, but hey maybe they weed buddies...he he he

I thought the show was okay, but here is my assesment.....

When Tweet came on I callled my friend and I said "Some one needs to call Tweet's kids and have them come pick up their momma"....She looked the fool and her singing was a H.A.M.

T.I- not that great but I still like him, and I think he's cute so he could still get it. Eventhough he only comes to my ankle.

T-Pain WRECKED that song, and not in a good. Somebody needed to page Keith.

Teddy Riley looked as though he may have switched "teams". I bet he's dating Chauncy cause he looked like he switched "teams" too. Not sure when that happened though.

Ne-Yo and Key Key- No words. This was a travesty. She was off key, he was a mess....uggghhh just no words. I agree, her stylist needs to be shot.

Timbo was mad swoll(sp). He has lost a lil bit though. He was on Justin Timberlake's concert on HBO and he has lost weight since then.

Sidenote: If anyone has HBO and you can catch reruns of Justin's concert......OFF THA HOOK.

Overall....The show was okay. They sure as hell did a better job than what BET or MTV could have done.

My friend told me that he and Snoop are good friends. I don't know how that true that is.

Amen! When he came out for Snoop's tribute of all I was like, Shyne must not be available

Him and Young Berg need to drop the wannabe gangsta act FAST

Had only seen a little bit last night (had to watch Boondocks) but saw the whole thing tonight.

Who told Tweet that the poodle hair was in style?

She looked a HAM. And Ciara is not Aalyiah reincardinated (sp)!!!!

To me, Ne-yo was o.k., channeling his inner-MJ. But Keyshia and T-Pain: SMH.

Loved the Whodini tribute. Everybody was good on that one.

ATCQ:

Didn't know Phife is ill, but glad he is doing better. I wish they would hurry up and do that reunion album they've been talking about for years.

Snoop: they went and did songs when he still had Doggy in his name.

The reaction to Kool Moe Dee was the same to the one when I saw Big Daddy Kane in Dave Chappell's Block Party:

And Busta need to stay away from the drinks.

Call me old but 80-90's rap is still the best to me!

LMAO! That's exactly what I said! I had to dust off my Best of Tribe this morning.... I miss the OLD Busta.... I loved it!

*sidenote* Seeing my 2nd husband (Common) perform my favorite song by my all time favorite group...... PRICELESS. I straight up had a moment.

Thanks for this. I knew that he had diabetes, but I didn't know about the dialysis. I knew he didn't look good last night, though.

OH
MY
Goodness.... I would probably still be laying out in the family room. LOL

That was so good for me. I miss my Tribe. They even brought Consequence out for the last song - I was wondering if he was gonna show up.

Right...I missed the memo announcing Vh1 as more hip hop than BET. At any rate, the show was pretty awesome.
I think you could tell that T.I. was a fan watching him perform that song. He nailed it. And when T came out and started to walk...awesome

Yeah I thought it was a little early for Missy to be getting honored but more props to her though.

T-Pain - not so easy without all the tricks huh? Tweet? Back to wardrobe dear

I think I had forgotten how big of ATCQ fan I was but I appreciate the reminder!

I LOVED New Jack Swing...but they could've done a better job with it IMO
