All about the 90s: VH1 Hip Hop Honors

Image
Vh1 set the night off right wth Missy Elliot as the opening performance to the 2017 VH1 Hip Hop Honors . Known for oddly creative visuals, audiences were expecting a dynamic performance from Missy Elliot, and she did not disappoint. After being honored at last years ceremony and having such a dominant role in the late 90s, what better way to start the night. Hosted by Regina Hall, the award ceremony was filled with stars of the 90s and today. In celebration of the golden era of hip hop, fans and celebrities dressed in 90s clothing.

No longer will male models be constrained to a style based on their sexuality or sexual identity. As model, MaleMadonna has grown into a brand, distributing his resources to other talents, without being attached to an’ agency. Creativity ca
