I just watched the VH1 Hip Hop Honors. Here are the major discussion points:
- Never has a human looked more like a real life Scooby Doo than Tracy Morgan.
- Whodini pretty much ruled the night. People enjoyed their set more than any other (myself included). The 80s dance off at the end of the set clinched their place as highlight of the show.
- Kool Moe Dee got fat.
- Missi Elliot songs exist in a timeless vacuum. They sound so unlike anything else that they could be from the 80s or the 2050s.
- Andre Harrell looked like a Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor clone.
- I thought Skateboard P was a stupid rap name for Pharrell, but after seeing him on this show rocking the pleather backpack, it somehow strangely fits.
- Busta Rhymes is a lunatic. Everybody rocks out to him because they don't want him to eat there still-beating heart and make a matching hat/hoodie combo out of their skin.
- Wildstyle. Eh...
- "Rumpshaker" and "No Diggity" might be two of the greatest songs ever. If we could share these with Al Qaeda, peace would be a reality. Like a modern day "Kumbaya".
- With a couple of notable exceptions, A Tribe Called Quest really weren't in the same league as the rest of the inductees (I fast forwarded through the entire performance).
I am hip hop.

Ask me if I'm a grape.
