Hip Hop Honors 07

Tracey Morgan host the 2007 Hip Hop Honors Award Show, paying tribute to Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, Whodini, and the movie Wild Style.

The show kicked off honoring Missy Elliot.Missy is the only major hip hop producers.She also runs and owns her own label.She's worked with people like , Timbaland, AAliyah, Tweet, Nelly Furtado, Eve, Ciara, Fatman Scoop, and Keyshia Coles.
Ciara, Keyshia,Fatman Scoop, Tweey and Nelly Furtado hit the stage to preform some of Missy's greatest hits. You couldn't tell it was tweet under all that hair, but , you could definitely tell Nelly had some J.Lo action going on back there. Missy is known for her creative videos, with great dance routines, and dancers, which put a certain little girl on the map.Looks like Missy has found yet another little star.
Next up was Teddy Riley and Andre Hurrel of New Jack Swing. New Jack Swing is known for making their mark with stars like Heavy D, Guy, Jodeci, BlackStreet, Keith Sweat, and the King of Pop himself, Bobby Brown.
T-Pain, Ne-yo , and Kool Moe D hit the stage to preforme some of New Jacks hits like, 'I like', 'No Diggity' and, 'Rump Shaker.' OMG! Ne-yo killed it, of course. T-Pain was crunk , but the vocals were wack! Teddy and Andre aslo made their way on stage for an awesome performance.Kool Moe D...Now that's a throw back!

LL Cool J came out to present the award to Wild Style. LL was looking so DE-LISH-US, I didn't hear 2 words he said, even though I was looking at his lips the whole time!I wasn't the only one, the ladies in the audience screamed the whole time he was presenting. Yes, the ladies love cool J. But Shot out to Fab 5 Freddy, Lee, Cold Crush Brothers, the Fantastics and Bizzy B.Wild Style was the true birth of graffiti.
Chris Rock presented to Whodini.Signed by Jive based in London, Whodini was the first group to have dancers, and preform in areanas.
Jermaine Dapri, Nelly, and Nick Cannon hit the stage to preform Whodini's unforgettable hits 'Friends' , 'One Love', and 'The Freaks Come Out At Night'.Why the picked Nick to preform , I'm not sure. Hes more Nickelodeon than Hip Hop. JD must have caught a flash back for when he used to dance for Whodini.He busted out a couple of his old breaking moves.
The Snoop D-O-double G was honored next.Snoop has definitely left his mark on Hip Hop, and the world, becoming a well known house hold name, like Martha Stewart. Snoop gave alot of props to Dr. Dre, DOC, and Ice Cube.
TI hits the stage and goes'Deep Cover' L.A. hat and all.Pharell was the 'G-Thang' , giving the best performance of the night.Him and Snoop together is like peanut butter and jelly.Even Fab 5 Freddy had to get up out his seat. Ice T came out crip walking.What??? The big dog , and the little dog , preformed 'Whats My Name' together.
The show ended honoring A tribe Called Quest.Busta Rhymes, Lupe Feasco, Pharell, Common , and the Tribe themselves, hit the stage to preform the grand finale with their hits 'Native Tongues' and 'What's The Scenario'.I don't know what the hell Busta was saying, but ya boy Tip was definitely on point!
What Im saying iz... Hip Hop has become a movement and a lifestyle. Through the years, Hip Hop has come a long way. I would like to see the Hip Hop of today, get back in touch with the roots of Hip Hop , which was about the music , and not bitches and hoes, and bling bling.
