Most hip-hop awards shows are overblown displays of self-congratulatory masturbation but I was feeling parts of VH1's Hip Hop Honors show. Bringing together rap legends to cover legendary rap songs was ridiculous (in a good way). Beastie Boys doing a Run DMC medley? Mixmaster Mike channeling the spirit of Jam Master Jay? Good gawd! Nas doing that new joint with his dad? Sizzlin'. Fat Joe kickin' "South Bronx"? Hold ya heads. And Nas doing "Hold Ya Head Up"? Incredible.
