More good Hip-honors ceremony for you.

VH1’s Hip Hop Honors don’t air until Tuesday, October 13th at 9 p.m. EST/PST, but Rolling Stone was at the big event at Brooklyn’s Howard Gilman Opera House last night. At the sixth annual Honors, a cavalcade of stars paid tribute to Def Jam Records, the mainstay that laid the blueprint for the rap industry and launched the careers of everyone from Public Enemy to Kanye West. The room was packed to the gills with Def Jam friends, family and alumni — it’d actually be easier just to name who wasn’t there (notably: Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye, LL Cool J and the recovering Beastie Boys).

Beyonce is toning down her much criticized concert in Malaysia. Still don't think politics matter in music?

By the way, back to the hip hop honors event, shame that this happened when both of them are virtually irrelevant now. But good that it happened.

Stephon Marbury is now demanding that Jay-Z apologies to him.

Marbury just gets sadder and sadder with each passing day.

Speaking of Hova, he was on Oprah today. The movement continues.

If nothing has killed American Idol over the years (which I never thought would happen, how long it has lasted), this certainly will.

And new song from Blake Lewis called "Sad Song"
