Hot Or Not: VH1 Hip Hop Honors

also ti is terrible. he fucked up kanes shit like he fucks up every other song. there are atleast 10 dudes from the south that are doing it better than him right now.
like who? just curious. I want to get up on this "southern rap" thing all the kids are talking about.
First listen to this:

(Yo folks, we need to bring Archaic back. I'm just saying. Revoke the ban!)
 
hahaha. yeah the south bit the blowed. there I said it. now why do we need Archaic back again? jusssssplayinnnnn. that is a whole 'nother thread.


ps I was serious: what southern cat is "doing it better" than TI?

Yes! I will paypal $10 for a dvd copy. let me know. Lil Cease is a piece of shit and on top of that a snitch!!!!!!! Surprised he is still walking. Kane killed it and showed why he is THE MAN. Nelly did a great LL Cool J as well.
 
No, it wouldn't have in the context of the show but at least dude can fast rap on time. Common was chasing the "Raw" beat from jump.

I know Com respects Kane like gangbusters but Common can't RHYME like Kane any better than Kanye can do Biggie convincingly.

UNLIKE: Nelly doing LL? Holy shit, he was a lot better than I would have given him credit for.
I pretty much agree with everything O is saying. Common gets brownie points for the windmills, though. I ain't really mad at Common and T.I., they're both very good rappers... just not so good at doing Kane's rhyme style. Thought, on the other hand, sounded EXACTLY like Kane on that last Roots album, so it's not hard to see how he'd do a much better job.

And Nelly? Holy pakora, Nelly did a f**king GREAT LL Cool J! Looks like he even took a few extra steroids so that he could really nail the role!

The little cross-legged dance step, the sharksfin move and the jellybean crushing... yeah, dude gets an A++ for that one.

Overall I thought the show was pretty entertaining. But I'm REALLY waiting for that "random rap" award show.

YESSSSSS
 
Alright, just watched Kane segment online - for anyone (like me) who missed this shit, all performances are available here:

Gotta give it up for Black Thought, "Set it Off" was SIK - dude kept true to the pace and flow, and hearing that Steve Cropper guitar run played live instead of looped was next level ish. Common was definitely having a hard time keeping up on "Raw," but give dude a little slack...that shit is near impossible for anybody to run correct, that's why Kane was (and is) The Man - although Black Thought sure was able to keep pace.
Dance sequence at the end was the show-stoppinest shit I've seen in a minute!

YEAH, KANE!
 
you guys are a tough crowd. Seemed like dudes were having fun, not performing open-heart surgery.
 
watching online right now. i think the show's concept is great, and the performances have been incredible and unique... especially for a vh1 special. mtv and vh1 are owned by the same parent company, and it's a real head-scratcher why this show was a vh1 production when it seems much more similar to the mtv2/Jams shows that i've seen.
why is vh1 trying to capture the hiphop audience? is the liz phair/alanis morissette demographic not pulling enuf advertising dollars?
 
No slack. Either you can handle a BDK flow or you can't. If not, then don't step up.

I.E.

COMMON! STEP THE FUCK BACK FOR A SECOND!


P.S.

Ciarra looked bangin'.
But her looks were the only positive of her "performance."
