VIDEO FAB: Hip Hop Honors, 50 Cent, Hampton’s Queen?
In case you missed last night’s Hip Hop Honors, here’s a few performances that made us go Hmmm…:
Fox Boogie and Fabolous performed “I’ll Be”. Foxy Foxy Foxy.
Ja Rule & Ashanti brought us back to 2003. Even with Ashanti’s “dance moves”. Nice.
And 50 Cent had his VH1 Behind The Music special last night:
Interesting.
More vids when you read the rest…
Warren G performed “Regulators” with Trey Songz. I guess Nate Dogg isn’t able to perform just yet. He did have a few heart attacks these last couple years.
Eminem and DJ Jazzy Jeff saluted LL Cool J with “Rock The Bells”.
And over at Hampton University, people are raising hell about the new “Miss Hampton” Homecoming Queen being a white girl no one has really ever met. The crowned Queen wrote a letter to Pres. Obama saying people hate her because she’s white. While the students say she was not elected, no one even knows her and she doesn’t even attend Hampton’s main campus school. And the school officials have admitted to putting homegirl in the position for a PR move. Really Hampton?

So she doesn’t even attend the Main Campus?? And no one has ever met her??? Are we crowning folks as publicity stunts now? Doesn’t that diminish the integrity of the competition?

So I went to Hampton, and I wasn’t bothered by this at all, until just now. A PR move?? This has President Harvey’s (he’s the president of the school) name written all over it! Tryin to be the first HBCU to do it, probably to promote diversity. It’d be one thing if she attended the main campus. BTW, students don’t vote for Miss Hampton (at least they didn’t while I was there); it’s like any other pageant where there is a panel of judges.

Yup…I smell Harvey all over this one. Damn shame.
They need to go back to the student body voting like when I was a student

Satellite vs. Main? Please…how about asking an actual student. None of us even know where the satellite campus is for one. Second, she’s a TRANSFER STUDENT who had never even set foot on our campus before the pageant. Most students don’t give a crap about what color she is. It’s about qualifications. Our king is Asian and white but no one had a problem with that. So to say it’s a color thing is ridiculous. The rift cones fon the fact that she doesn’t know us and we don’t know her and she hasn’t done anything for our campus prior to the pageant unlike the other contestants who have been involved on campus and preparing or this pageant or years. I just find it funny how people who didn’t even know who Hampton was before the controversy have so much to say. Sit down and shut up

@B …Hampton is not the first HBCU to have a white homecoming queen. Kentucky State is the first. There is an artilce on AOL Black voices (google it) about the homecoming queen…I believe that there will be others KY state and Hampton are just the early few to do so.

50 cent behind the music was wack I expected more! They didn’t talk about alot and dre should have made an appearance. Lord knows he ain’t working on detox!!!!

I watched 50’s behind the music and who knew he was such a momma’s boy (he looks exactly like his momma) and I was laughing during the whole thing.
I didn’t really care about the hip hop honors but i watched some of it and the show was okay only a couple of performances were okay but most were bad.
And the Hampton university gets a womp womp from me for the whole situation.(A PR move bish plz)

2 WOMPS for Hampton for that PR stunt gone wrong. Only thing I have to say is “behold the green and gold”. If you went to Hampton, you know exactly what school I’m repping. I have love for HU tho. Anyways, I didn’t even waste my time watching that hip hop honors show. BET awards was enough for me in one year…

And what’s really hood Hampton?

If that was a PR move on behalf of the school prez he lose points. But if it was for the intention of promoting diversity I can’t complain. I think it’s a good idea. I don’t care what anyone say, in my eyes HBCU’s are legal segregation.

All the more reason why Hampton could never be like the REAL HU. Howard, stand up! LOL.
But seriously, there’s so much campus politics and questionable antics, it’s really unfortunate for students attending this school looking for that enlightening HBCU experience. The student body seems to have no sayso in what occurs on their campus. The dress code, curfews, “no natural hair” controversy, censorship in the newspaper, and now this debacle. They can’t even nominate their own queens! The administration hand-picked her. I know The Institute has a largely assimilationist value system, but this strategic “diversity pick” takes things a bit far. Now you have to compete to have Black beauty & achievement recognized on a Black campus?
Why hasn’t there been a protest? Or why don’t the students petition for the president’s resignation? He seems to be putting those poor kids through quite a bit, and really dragging the school’s name and HBCU’s reputations through the mud in the process.

At least KY State’s quenn got out there campaigned and EARNED IT. The first white valdictorian at Morehouse also earned his. Now, if it was handed to her by some community judges, then I understand the lack of students’ respect.

OMG, will people just get over this whole Miss HU thing?! OK, the Hawaiian girl won. So the fuck what. I just transferred from HU last year and the pagaents are always on some BS. If an AKA wins the Alpha pagaent, then everybody says its rigged. If a talented yet lame ass person wins anything period, everyone asks WTF and clowns her for days. It is what it is.The real issue at hand is not her color but the process of judging…how do they pick these damn girls that no one knows, that aren’t really involved, and no kind of social standing? That’s what a homecoming queen is! And I could see if it was the girl with the best talent or the smartest chick but no, they always seem to pick who they feel is “pretty” and usually that person is not qualified to represent the University. I’m not surprised that its a PR stunt because President Harvey is forever doing something that is unhanded and shady that always has a negative effect on the University. Yes, he contributed alot to the University during his tenure as President but it’s time for his ass to go.

Looks like Em was the bright spot in the Hip Hop awards. At the start of Rock the Bells, I swear he sounded just like LL. Rockin a Kango would have been the hottness though.

Hmm…it’s always great to show diversity in a community already struggling with self-hate issues…same ol, ol…it was also intersting to see Kim K. on the cover of a South African mens magazine…
The best part of the Honors show was Jazzy Jeff. I still cannot bring myself to like Eminem after the comments he made about black women.

Why would you contact the President of the United States and not speak directly to the student body. “We don’t shake hands on campus…we hug” was our school way of doing things and it is still embraced to this day. We represent a standard of excellence.
The students, and I know because I have family who attends now, had issues with her being a Senior Transfer student who just arrived on campus in Septemeber(satelite location) and was allowed to participate with the students who been there since freshman , sophmore years and who have been preparing for this for years. She doesn’t know the student body, having participated in campus activities. MR. HAMPTON UNIVERSITY IS ASIAN and THE STUDENTS EMBRACED HIM BECAUSE THEY KNEW HIM!!!!!!BUTYOU DON’T HERE THAT IN THE NEWS. THE STUDENTS ARE UPSET because she painted a horrible image about HU which is not true.
ITS FUNNY HOW YOU WON THE TITLE ON A FRIDAY AND WROTE THE LETTER ON A SUNDAY…..HOW MUCH TORMENT WERE YOU GOING THROUGH FOR YOU TO WRITE PRESIDENT IN ONE DAY!!! YOU HAD IT PLAN GIRL..
OH, DID I MEANTION THAT MISS HAMPTON UNIVERSITY COMPETES IN THE MISS VIRGINIA PAGEANT, THEN MISS AMERICA PAGEANT…HMMMMMMMMM…..I GUESS YOUR PLATFORM WILL BE “DIVERSITY”.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU SET THIS UP!
