The 2016 VH1 Hip-Hop Honors popped all the way off last night live from the Lincoln Center in New York City.
Erected in honor of rap pioneers Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Queen Latifah, and Salt-N-Pepa, the show brought fire-filled performances. Both from and in tribute to the ladies.
Indeed, the likes of Diddy, Fantasia, Monica, Remy Ma, Nelly Furtado, and Tweet saluted the iconic femcees.
Easily the best Honors show we’ve seen in recent memory.
