Kid Rock Strips Down With Tracy and Jimmy at Hip Hop Honors

Molly — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:00:00 -0700

Tracy Morgan is a daring choice to trust to host a big event, but last night he took the stage to MC at VH1's Hip Hop Honors in Brooklyn, NY. His buddy Jimmy Fallon also made an appearance, as did Chris Rock, while a basically shirtless Kid Rock hit the red carpet and performed during the show. Mary J. Blige and Ashanti held down the female side of things and Flavor Flav stuck with his old faithful enormous clock necklace and white top hat. Last week it was all about the Divas, but this time the star power and performers were out to honor the 25th anniversary of Def Jam records.

To see more of the Hip Hop Honors including Ludacris, Foxy Brown, Ja Rule and others just read more.
