new style

[cj hood]

this was flawless.....nice to hear the original beat and lyrics......tracy morgan sucked.....it wasn't an honor, it was a diss......but nice set.....rush was even mouthin the words!

[JasonP]

I was happy to see Meth into it.

[Laver1969]

I think they pieced together/edited it together on SWW. On the second take MMM's beat that he dropped in was a late and it kicked in on Adrock's part instead of Yauch's verse.

But they "fixed" it for what just aired. (y)

[dirtydan11]

that was so dope! beastie's sounded perfect! i had it turned up so loud it was like i was there. man oh man congratulations Beastie Boys! Morgan didn't diss them. i only wish it was longer:( oh well, now im waiting for Rakim after the commercials:)

This is one time it sucks to be on the left coast. Still over 2 hours away.:(

[Chicka B]

Damn, that was cool! So Whatcha Want and The New Style, they were so badass. Their lyrics even had to be censored! :D I really thought the whole interview thing was cute, they were really crackin eachother up. And when it showed a bunch of clips from when they were younger til now I got all emotional. MMM was fuckin dope! When he dropped that fast brass monkey beat, I was all "shickashickashicka" I donno, can't explain it. The tribute was a bit short, BUT I was still noddin my head and smilin the whole time. The crowd coulda been better of course but ehhh who cares. I was just happy to see the Beastie Boys take the stage because they're sooo fucking gooood! Seriously, I hope this gets on youtube 'cause I wanna see it again!

[kleptomaniac]

the beasties' performance was insane! i enjoyed every second of it haha

and in the clip mike and yauch just start laughing at the same time, that was
so adorable awww :o

the opening where ice t's like "mike d from the beastie boys?! i don't know who
the hell mike b is" that was hilarious.

uhhh...


MIX MASTER MIKE! what can i say?! :cool: (y)
the man can rock a crowd, but the crowd wasn't feeling it i guess. me, on the
other side of the television, i was definitely feeling it.

[ggirlballa]

it was aight but this year's HHH crowd kinda csucked

the crowds in the past years were a lot better

they weren't bad for just for the beastie boys but for other artist too

[ggirlballa]

MMM was amazin so was Q-Tips & of course the beastie boys were awesome

[pip07]

it was aight but this year's HHH crowd kinda csucked

if you ask me the crowd always sucks ass for these things

[Jmoney77]

is anyone gonna have the performance on the HUB?

[pm0ney]

I thought that whole thing was incredible. They really gave the Beasties their due, and the performance was off the hook. It was almost as if performing in front of all those legends brought that LTI-era swagger back, cuz they killed The New Style. That was off the hook, man.

[PBandJ]

nice to see the guys into it. I was glad that tip came out and saved Diddy's ass. Man I always forget how exciting their shows are.
By the way, When is Tribe called Quest gonna get their props? I think they could have replaced MC lyte.

[Pootytang]

I must say that I was not impressed with most of the editing. Afrika's tribute was much much better live than on the airing tonight.

[pshabi]

Just saw the bboys and Lyte's performance on the West Coast.

I got a little teary eyed during the, "You know it's... When ya... In the...." part of SWW. It's definitely the high point of the song and seeing them give it their all is moving to me.

It's subtle, but I also love how Horovitz flips it a bit and says, "What you see is what you get, and you see WE." That's hot shit.

Also, I get emotional when I see others getting into it and feeling the music. It happened a lot watching AIFST and also tonight when they were showing some of the other artist's getting down to the last part of the New Style.

All in all, it was a solid performance, although I kinda wish I didn't know it was edited (damn spoilers!;) "

Props to three true hip hop legends. I didn't think it was possible but I'm even more excited to see them this weekend.

[Kid Presentable]

I've only seen M-dubs' recording, but I get that feeling. That's a real good thing.

[b i o n i c]

some of the editing could have been better, but i the sound editing of the audience vs. the music was TERRIBLE.

when we were there. i remember the crowd being MUCH louder and into it, and when the camera showed them you could see everyone feeling it.

regardless, i LOVED the performance, how everyone above said that the honorees were all groovin along and the performance itself was ill.

[b i o n i c]

where the fuck is the full show stream link?

[cj hood]

couple things......were the beasties in the balcony during the whole show (except their performance) cuz they weren't shown a lot when they would pan on the honorees.....

tracy morgan's intro sucked.....

this show's becoming a joke when mc lyte, and cube are honored over whodini, the fat boys and kurtis blow......

yo pooty....were you wearing a striped shirt and no hat...cuz i think i saw you during the rush honor when kid capri was playing 'childrens story'.......

The Fat Boys? Come on. "I'm starvin, I'm in the mood, plain and simple I need food. Eat some beans and very soon everybody in the place would leave the room. And for some reason, I cant reveal! So pass a banana, so I can peel!"

Kurtis Blow and Whodini definitely need to be honored, but The Fat Boys cant hold a candle to Cube or MC Lyte. Cuz she's MC Lyte and she's light as a rock.

fat boys rhymes were goofy.....but they broke ground (no pun intended)......before cube, ice-t and tupac were movie stars.....the fat boys were in 'disorderlies'.....before people started ripping off songs......the fat boys did 'wipeout'.....its true!

I just watched Beastie performance on vspot, for those who don't have vh1 click here (mms://a988.v158079.c15807.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/988/15807/v001/vhonecomstor.download.akamai.com/8603/_!/vh1.com/shows/hip_hop_honors/performances/vh_hhh06perf_s2_rt76389_416.wmv?auth=caCbbbnawaYax aMdjbIdlbUa9dldfbmbSad-bfnJnl-dHa-wDHwpC&aifp=v1).

What's up with all this censoring. Even the word "trigger" was cut out.:confused:

Anyway strong performance by the beasties. I love it.

yeah, i thought the boys mics cut out again, i can't believe they would sensor that shit of all things, when they're playing worse stuff on mtv all the time , it made no sense and may take away from teh performance a bit for those who don't know the lyrics

[dave790]

yeah the censoring's a pain...but fucking top performance. cheers for that link Midz

Yeah, I hear that and I dont mean to take anything away from the Fat Boys, cuz I am a fan. But I mean, "Disorderlies" is a far, far cry from Boyz N The Hood. Or even Juice or Poetic Justice for that matter. Vanilla Ice made "Ice Cold", but it doesn't mean he should be honored.

[M.C. Guevera]

"Ice Cold"? I think it was called "Cool As Ice". Either way, it still sucked, although when I was a kid I loved it.

[pm0ney]

Tight. Cube, Deck, RZA, Meth et al on the beastie tip.

[b i o n i c]

yeah, CJ... they were sitting in the balcony the whole time. i remember them being into almost everything.

but the Fat Boys 'give you much much more'.....

[Laver1969]

yeah, CJ... they were sitting in the balcony the whole time. i remember them being into almost everything.

They got up from time to time during the commercial breaks but they were up in the opera boxes most of the time.

Pooty had the contruction-cone-orange shirt. (y)

[cAm]

the beasties rocked!

whats that second beat mixmaster drops in So What´cha Want??

[dave790]

breathe by fabulous.

this has probs been posted, but if not:

some red carpet action, beasties with ice cube about 3 minutes in.

[mudfoot]

I enjoyed Q-Tip with his Busy Bee-like glasses. I'm not much of a Fab fan. Was Fab supposed to be Jazzy Jeff with his glasses? But seriously, I feel the Beasties deserve better than the treatment from Tracy Morgan. Regina honored Lyte, Diddy honored Rush, KRS-1 honored Afrika. Tracy did not honor the Beasties. His intro felt like a time killer. MMM killed it beyond words. The beat selection for So Whatcha Want was like an encore from their last stop on Letterman. Did they have to use Breathe again or did they select again because Fab was there performing? It was very cool for them to do The New Style. However, there was too much editing. Even Ad-Rock replaced "fly skimmies" with "party people". Hopefully because Afrika was there & not because he doesn't want to anymore.

[cj hood]

i noticed a lot of the honorees brought their littles......someone said yauch brought his daughter.....i didn't see this....any pix or vids?

[ggirlballa]

i think i saw her sitting next to him on the balcony when the Wu-Tang was performing ...i think :confused:

the only problem i had with this year's hip hop honors was the crowd & tracy morgan & diddy...

but tracy didn't bother me as much as the crowd did. this morning the local hip hop radio station was discussing the show & they said that tracy really wasn't that funny & shud of been honoring them instead of joking around or that VH1 shud have gotten someone else to do it...also the crew on the radio station said the b-boys whole tribute was too short...i totally agree with them!

Yeah...she was up there towards the end. I'm not sure if they had any shots of them together though.

[JohnnyChavello]

The Fat Boys? The fuckin' Fat Boys? Seriously? Dude, come on.

[gorilla]

The problem with the whole Tracy Morgan shit is that it wasn't funny.
If he tried to do a roast it just didn't work because it seriously was not funny.

I don't know what to tell ya.

what does "skimmie" mean? on another note, i always thought it was skimmers

[Mr. Juice]

I thought it was quite humorous how VH1 censored the Beastie Boys' lyrics in "The New Style". In a room filled with members of NWA, Ice-T, and Diddy, the Beastie Boys were probably the least likely group to pull out their firearms and shoot up the place.

Adrock's "you know I get high" lyric was also censored.

Are you seriouly still not allowed to say "high" on television? You can have reality shows with 14-year old kids having orgies, but you can't say "high" or "22 automatic" on VH1? What's this world coming to?

Ha...They edited out the word "cursin'" also.

A lot of beer, a lot of girls, and a lot of ........"

Wow. They should have just left in the version with the mics cutting out. :)

[YoungRemy]

regarding Tracy Morgan-

when you open a segment, let alone the first tribute of the night, with "I never understood this next band" you cant get much worse than that...

he hit the high note with "the Beastie Boys came from a different world..." and the bit about "Free Tibet" meant well, but he didnt higlight all the positives over a 20 year career...

my vote would have gone to Ben Stiller

[ggirlballa]

my vote would have gone to Ben Stiller

i would have liked Jay-Z honoring them cuz he actually respects & likes em but i know booking Jay-Z especially right now isn't easy especially if you're VH1 :D

[mudfoot]

VH-1 and/or Tracy Morgan should go back & watch the the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards segment when Chuck D presented the Video Vanguard Award to the Beasties. That's how it's done.(y)

I haven't heard Adrock say anything other than "party people" in that spot for years.

And "Breathe" during that verse is straight ill, that's why they did that shit.

[ggirlballa]

oh there should be a video for that on youtube

do u remember how it went?:p

[pshabi]

Why isn't this shit on youtube yet? What a bust!:mad:

[laurie_hammy]

Why isnt it on the hub ? Or is it ? I type "honors" "vh1" etc in the search, only last years stuff.

B-Boys were tight as always. Puffy ruined Paul Revere though, what a sorry excuse for a rapper.

I watched the show again last night on that other VH-1 channel, VH-1 SOUL. They usually play a lot of boring R&B, but this week has been off the hook. They had guest VJ's Big Daddy Kane & MC Lyte. They played lots of late 80's/early 90's rap (Kool G Rap, the Biz, X-Clan, KMD, PE, etc.)

Anyway, back to the Hip Hop Honors. As I was watching the show again, I realized why VH-1 chose Tracy Morgan to present. Since he was the 1st presenter of the show, what better way to promote TOTALLY AWESOME, that 80's movie which premieres next month where -> on VH-1 & starring who -> Tracy Morgan. So that's why; just a shameless self-promotion. On top of that, just about every time the Honors show goes to commercial they of course show a spot for the movie as well, which the DVD goes on sale just a few days after it airs on TV? Where's the logic in that? Well, I hope nobody watches the movie or buys 1 damn copy!(n)

dude i wanted to see that movie though. chris kattan's in it....*dillemma*

[pshabi]

Shit quality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGDld1QsozQ), but who gives a fuck?

[mudfoot]

I clicked on the link, started watching, then just happened to glance over to the right & noticed Miramanee has got the raw, unedited footage. From the extended MMM intro (which VH-1 cut) to the 1st run through of So Watcha Want until they stopped due to technical reasons. "Do-over, do-over". It was also nice to be able to hear The New Style as it happened without those several edits. Major props to Miramanee! Makes me feel like I was there.(y) Now I can forget about Tracy Morgan.:D

[M.C. Guevera]

but tracy didn't bother me as much as the crowd did. this morning the local hip hop radio station was discussing the show & they said that tracy really wasn't that funny & shud of been honoring them instead of joking around or that VH1 shud have gotten someone else to do it...also the crew on the radio station said the b-boys whole tribute was too short...i totally agree with them!

Wait? You mean a hip-hop station actually talked about the Beastie Boys? I'm shocked! Seriously, I am.

VH1 is a channel that makes shows where they say that white rappers are lame, and then go ahead and honor the Beastie Boys with Tracey Morgan doing bad jokes beforehand. It's like they were trying to be fair and honor them, but at the same time stick true to their opinion that white rappers shouldn't be taken seriously. *Shakes head*.

[birdfloatindown]

Tracy Morgan's a jerk. Not that I was ever a huge fan to begin with, but after seeing his awful "tribute" to the Beastie Boys, I hate his guts. Not only was it not funny, it was disrespectful to them. And, VH1 should be ashamed of themselves for getting him to do the Boys' intro, just so they could promote their stupid new 80s show. The other presenters all had some kind of a link, with the artists they were honoring. What the hell does Tracy Morgan have to do with hip hop, or the Beastie Boys?! The guys were very gracious in the way they handled it, but I'm annoyed that they weren't shown more respect. They certainly deserve it.

[ggirlballa]

Wait? You mean a hip-hop station actually talked about the Beastie Boys? I'm shocked! Seriously, I am.
.

everybody on the station totally respects them but theres 1 DJ who is a huge fan of them, he 's part of the morning crew & he has his own show later in the day that plays all old skool for an hour & he will often play the b-boys(y)

[M.C. Guevera]

Oh, you are so lucky. I've only heard the Beastie Boys one time on a hip-hop station here in Miami. That was "Shake Your Rump" in 2004.

The only station that will play them regulary is the college radio station 95.3 Radiate FM.

yea the DJ is cool a few weeks ago i was listening to the old skool show & he played brass monkey & intergalactic back to back & a few months ago he played so what'cha want

this station has probally played them more but i'm not glued to the radio all the time ya know?

so if you're ever in L.A listen to POWER 106! (plug:p )
