It left me scratching my head on that one. Quoted post Well, Tupac WAS from the Bronx...but I'm still wondering as to why they didn't give Big his due, as well.

Guest 455 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 it was alright.....the five part documentary was sick though......the classic footage of everyone back then was nice to see----Rick Rubin's promotional skits for DefJam are priceless......

But he was just born there but really didn't grow up there. He repped the West. He spent more time growing up in Oakland, CA than NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably had on boots or somethin. This is probably more accurate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as can flavor flav...who knew?!) *kid capri is not a good dj. *flavor flav is awesome. *i hate fat joe more than i hate nas (which is a lot.) *im really stoked p.diddy has taken such charge of voting shit. i wish jay z and A.I. would put in as much work on it. the whole east coast would be in the booth. *a tribute to tupac, but not a single mention of big?!?! fuck tupac. wack ass midget. the only good song he ever did was 'mind on my money' with mc breed. that shit right there is the jam! *no mention of jam master jay?!?! *vivica fox was funny (and would get banged). *no moment of silence for big L? just kidding, i dont like him. *no fat boys?! *no mention of any of the movies that exposed hip hop culture to the world: beat street, breakin, wild style, style wars, etc. *ice T is awesome. *scott ian from anthrax is awesome. *mike D looks like he lost all his money to a bad gambling addiction and now lives on deaths doorstep. *MCA could give snoop a run for his money at the 'pimp of the year' awards (provided that oppression of women was not a stipulation of entry). *did i mention hating the entire terror squad? now i did. *krs-one makes want to throw up on myself and those nearest to me. *DMC is awesome as shit, but run is played out. *how come addiction and over dosing makes artists better, but jesus and sobriety ruins their careers? wtf is up with that?! *no russel simmons or rick rubin?! *adrock is still cool. *grandmaster flash is pretty useless as anything but an icon. *mad seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek end to ends in 05. *south, what?! south side bronx!! *no awesome dre and the hardcore comitte?! what, they cant show detroit some love?! thats bogus. *everything after illmatic sucked nas, die. *no MOP?!?!?!?!?!?! somebody's gonna get clapped (bucka, bucka, bucka, bucka, BLAWWWWWW). *smashing pumpkins 'siamese dream' was not mentioned at all, but is a very good album none the less. these have been my talking points for the afternoon. Quoted post everything you didnt see on the vh1 honors was indeed on the 5 part series they played last week. i missed the honors but the 30 years of hip hop was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perhap Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 i thought it was good overall,lacked a little in the graff sector, they had lost everything old and new....flash and kidrock, RSC and whatever the new crew was, blah blah. Yea, i think it woulda been nice to see someone doing a huge piece in the background and see it evolve as the show goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual T. Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I liked Ed Lover & Dr. Dre rocking the old-school Yo! MTV Raps leather jackets on VH1. That's like selling Big Macs at Burger King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
