XV was back in NY to honor Warren G and bring a little west coast feelto the pre party, seeing as he was the closet one to that side it was only right. It’s always good to see the homies XV and Seven and that also means theres another episode of “That Boy From Kansas” coming soon…I told yall we could kidnap a rapper and high jack him to doing a series with us lol.

VH1 Hip Hop Honors are right around the corner…well its being taped today but it will air sometime in October but last night is when the fesitivities really began. Thanks to VH1/Def Jam and DJ Enuff with the help of the Heavy Hitters I was able to enjoy myself and see a few familiar faces at the same time. Here are some vids of Torae and Skyzoo doing their tribute to a couple of the dopest emcees from the Def Jam roster…enjoy and their will be more footage with Mickey Factz as Slick Rick, XV as Warren G(didn’t even Know that was Def Jam) and J Cole as you should already know Jay-Z.

Slick Mick the Ruler started the night off smooth with renditions of Childrens Story and Mona Lisa and then went into one of his newer joints Whos Hotter. Honestly I wish we could have gotten a full Mickey experience but its was still cool non the less.

It’s always good to see one of your favorite new artist showing love to one of your favorites of all time. In this case it’s even better seeing as one is signed to the others label. When I got to the show and found out how each arist was honoring a def jam legend it was already known who J Cole was gonna portray the only thing I was unsure about is which song he was gonna pick.
