Jay Z Beefing With VH1????

I was trying to give the benefit of doubt as to why Jay Z wasn't at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Award Show, but now...the truth is coming out!

Egypt reports the scoop:

Tongue’s were wagging when VH1 Hip Hop Honors Awards aired and all of the one time Roc-a-fella artists including Jay-Z were noticeably absent. Rumors circulated that perhaps Jay-Z was still bitter about his departure from Def Jam presidency. But now sources are adding a new twist….

I have a source and that source knows what they are talking about. They are talking about Jay-Z and his relationship to VH1. That source tells me that Jay-Z has a bone to pick with VH1 for some reason or another. They didn’t know the actual reason. But, whatever the reason, Jay-Z refuses to do anything with them. I was under the impression that it was an issue with Def Jam or something, but it is not. Anyway, this scorn caused Jay to basically pull all of his talented cohorts like Kanye, Rihanna and Memphis Bleek! I mean, nobody from Roc-A-Fella was even there! That’s crazy!

Egypt also drops dime that that a little buzzard told her that this year marked the last year of VH1 Hip Hop Honors.

If You Missed It: VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2009

Even if your cable was cut off because you didn't pay your bill, you might want to thank VH1 to posting the 2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors online! Heck, this works for me too because I missed it. The last segment I saw was when my girl MJB was performing with Meth. Now was it me, or did Mary look like she was OVERRR that performance. You check out the performances and you decide.

My honest opinion, I was BORED with the part of the show that I did see!

Russell Simmons Not Too Happy About The Hip Hop Honors 2009

The 2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors that was taped last night in NYC, was supposed to be a tribute to Def Jam-celebrating 25 years!

Not only was LL Cool J, Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye West not there, BUT it's been rumored that told Russell Simmons–one of the co-founders of Def Jam– sent an email this morning to film maker Nelson George (the Exec. Producer of the show) and to all the heads of Def Jam expressing how disappointed he was in the event.

Russ wrote that he had no interest in this celebration without more L.A. Reid footage (who wasn’t even there) and his contribution. He also stated that he believes not having Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye, Dame Dash, LL Cool J, or Irv Gotti involved at all hurt the show. All of those people were indeed missing from last night’s Honors. Russell also expressed his distaste for having a comedian host (Tracey Morgan). He said that having a comedian fill in space “hurt his heart”. And the show overall was “incomplete at best”. (YBF)

I thought it was just me! Im glad I'm not alone! How can you not have the people that help make DEF JAM what it is today, not be apart of the ceremony!

Hip Hop Honors Taping!

Last night, VH1's Hip Hop Honors was taped in NYC! I wasn't able to make it up to the taping, but from watching some of the media folks(@dcgirl627 @missinfo @vibe ) Tweets, I felt like I was there.

The show, which airs October 13th, featured performances by Public Enemy, The Roots, Eminem, Foxy Brown, Mary J Blige & Method Man, Warren G, Trey Songz, Ludacris, Rick Ross and more.

From the pics, It looks as if Jay, Kanye, and LL were absent. How is it gonna be a celebration for Def Jam when some of their BIGGEST artist/the reason they are what they are, weren't there? Big ups to Unle Kevin Liles for going!

Now, with the pics:

So, just from the pictures alone-I am pumped for when it airs! Or unless, someone has it on 'Bootleg' by then. Either one will work! LOL :)
