Hip Hop Honors

Of course I watched and was amped the entire time. It was great to see everyone getting and giving love from/to each other, regardless of preconceived musical/coastal differences. Great to see Paul on the tables, Pos smiling, Cee-Lo rockin silver.

I was especially happy to see two acts being honored. De La and Rick have been my favorites forever and are two acts that still maintain their greatness. If you want a rundown/review of the night, go here. Monica's covered it all. I just wanted to pay a little homage of my own by giving shine to some of Rick and De La's greatest songs. Enjoy.
