Memphis Mad At Vh1 Hip Hop Honors (Tennessee)



" If the VH1 Hip Hop Honors passed you by Monday night. You should take a second look. The music network saluted the "Dirty South." But, they left out Memphis, the heart of the inspiration for rap artists around the country. The Memphis hip hop community was shocked Monday night. So were its fans. Twitter and Facebook lit up when the show ended without a mention of Memphis and its history in the industry. "If you ask T.I., Lil' Wayne, Jeezy, all the people that are out now, some of their influences, they're always going to say Scar Face, UGK, and 8Ball and MJG when it comes to the South," K97 DJ Devin Steel said." - 13
