Last night was the 2014 Soul Train Awards hosted by Wendy Williams. The show was a star studded event from performances from Chris Brown, Tinashe, Kem, Ledisi, Stephanie Mills, Tamar Braxton, Tank, Elle Varner, Missy Elliot, Lil' Kim, MC Lyte, Mase, Doug E. Fresh and more with a big tribute to the honorees of the evening Cool & The Gang. Instead of recapping the highlights and you want to see the winners of the evening click here.

Wendy Williams was alright as a host though she didn't put on her controversial persona but yet simply cute and entertaining talk show host persona. No drama was necessary for a night like that. Triple threat Chris Brown opened the show taking us back to his early hits and ending it with his current hits. You would have thought he was headlining for the Superbowl. Chris Brown still has it vocals and dance moves and all.

Extraordinaire producer Timbaland is stepping out and saying his 19 yr old rapper protege new comer, TINK is someone incredible in music since him and Missy Elliot produced on the late Aaliyah's sophomore album 'One In A Million'. 

The Chicago native raps about the injustice in a nation we live in which is very similar to what's going on today with the Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown incidents. Brutality within young adults and no one is to blame, they're just let go. What is one to do? 

Is TINK The New Voice To Help Spread Awareness Of Inequality And The Unjust? Take A Listen To 'TELL THE CHILDREN'

Throwback Friday - Angie Martinez, Lil Kim, Left Eye, Da Brat, & Missy Elliot - Ladies Night

Who remembers the 1997 video that gathered all the hottest on top female rappers for one big smash hit? Well, if you don't remember, then you must was born after 1997 lol. Hot 97 radio host Angie Martinez, Lil Kim, the late Lisa Left Eye Lopez, Da Brat and Missy Elliot teamed up for the ultimate rap collabo on a song that would become an anthem for women every Friday night. This jumping anthem is called "Ladies Night (Not Tonight)". Every verse on the song was brilliantly done with hella swag! The video was super crazy, exotic animals, lots of liquor, hot men, hot women in bikini's, jet ski's, and one hot sandy beach. I love and support each of these ladies, this was when female rap was at it's prime, I mean you haven't lived until you seen the video PointBlankPeriod! Check out the many cameo appearances and tell me if you can name all of them.
