Performances: VH1 Hip-Hop Honors 2016 [Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, & Salt N Pepa]

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.
