Although ten years ago VH1's programming was so white it made Dick Cheney look like Malcom X, the channel has someone reinvented itself as a hip-hop mecca with its VH1 Hip-Hop Honors show. This year they're running a salute to 25 years of Def Jam, the legendary label created by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin, and I sat down to watch the show with a minute by minute break down of all the night's important events. You know, like Foxy Brown's breasts.
