VH1 Hip Hop Honors made a fabulous comeback with an unforgettable night of music, joy, and love. After a six-year hiatus, the VH1 television special returned with a vengeance to celebrate hip hop royalty. Hosted by Eve, the event honored hip hop pioneers Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Lil’ Kim, and Salt-N-Pepa. It delivered astounding performances, an outpouring of love and support, and some “supa dupa fly” ensembles.
