Stone cold introducing Hov at the 99 VMAs appreciation thread

[HipHopStan]

We all should have known what DMX problem was when he no showed the VMAs that year. It did open the door for Jay’s forever run tho

If I recall correctly, he also missed the 2000 VMAs too and Sisqo had to step in and perform. Thanks, X.

can you imagine today's mainstream stars even knowing who any of the wrestlers are

Nelly not Sisqo and that also helped Nelly go from a dude bubbling on radio outside of St Lois to national and global star pretty quick

I was about to say, and they drag the Bellas out to all these events and Nia to the PCAs and they the ones trying to get celebs to notice them
People dont even care that much bout Cena hosting all these awards

Now compare that to when Rock and Austn used to come through to the shows in the 99 and 2000

Aaliyah was a Mankind mark.

90% of those people interviewed are irrelevant now.

What happened to that Jesse guy? I remember a few years back he was reported missing. The news never followed up on that.

They found Jesse a week after his sister reported him missing

He good

I remember when Austin won a Teen Choice Award and when he got on stage, he got the ovation that a Johnny Depp would get at the event. The clip on Superstars doesn't do it justice.

The 99 VMAS were pretty dope. I remember that event happened on 9/9/99 which was also the same day that SEGA Dreamcast came out.

I seriously can't remember the last time I watched an awards show. The last one might have been either the BET Awards or the Hip Hop awards back in the late 2000s or something.

99 vmas is my fav vmas and also the last time I really cared. DX being there makes perfect sense and anyone saying otherwise wasn’t around during that era.

X fukked up. X was bigger than Jay at the time and just pissing it all down the drain. Dude should still be a luminary at this very moment

They went to the Teen Choice Awards looking for Evolution promo from D-list celebrities who didn't even know anything about the event until Cathy Kelley told them.
