Snoop Dogg is usually quick to brag and boast, but even he felt humbled as he was honored for his rap achievements at VH1’s fourth annual Hip Hop Honors.
The gangsta rapper was lauded along with Missy Elliott, the ’80s rap trio Whoudini, A Tribe Called Quest, music executive Andre Harrell and producer Teddy Riley for creating the "New Jack Swing" sound, and Fab Five Freddy and Charlie Ahern for the groundbreaking movie "Wildstyle." The event airs on VH1 beginning Monday.
Among those on hand to congratulate Snoop backstage during the honors on Thursday were Q-Tip from Tribe and rap legend KRS-One, of whom Snoop asked, "Have I been a good student?" KRS-One gave him an approving nod.
