Hip Hop Honors Recharge Whodini

On Thursday night at Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, VH1 celebrated its fourth annual Hip Hop Honors award show and concert. Honorees included Missy Elliott, Teddy Riley and Andre Harrell (as “The New Jack era”), the film Wild Style, Snoop Dogg and A Tribe Called Quest.

After the show, honorees, both of which performed, had very different sentiments when asked about the status of reunions, albums and future work.

Brooklyn-based trio Whodini, who are best remembered for 1984 hit singles “Friends” and “Freaks Come Out At Night” spoke highly on the significance of the award. One of the two emcees of the group, Ecstasy, told HipHopDX, “I’m happy for ourselves, but I’m more happy for our children. They might hear our songs or see our videos, but they never get an impact to feel what Whodini was all about. A night like tonight changes that.”
