Although he was a little overwhelmed at first, Rev Run finally realized that getting inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame is a pretty big deal. Especially when you're only the second hip-hop act to EVER receive the honor. (Grandmaster Flash was the first, back in 2008.) And for those of you who missed the ceremony -- which took place in April of this year -- you might wanna see Eminem pay tribute to the rock-infused rap legends. Hear him give it up for "two turn tables and a microphone," read the MTV News coverage of the epic tribute and watch Run-DMC's classic 1985 video, "King of Rock," after the jump.
Last night's TRL finale (Total Finale Live) had it all: gratuitous celeb cameos, all the veejay eye candy we could handle and bomb performances from Beyonce/Sasha Fierce.
We laughed (at Justin Timberlake's peroxide blond Brillo hair) we cried (whenever Carson made one of the TRL veterans walk over to the window "one last time") and we reminisced (about the time Christina Aguilera wore red baby tees and didn't look like Lady Gaga's long lost twinsie).
And, most importantly, we learned something: the identity of Ludacris' much-younger star crush (Hint: Her name rhymes with Banessa Bimmons!)

I was floored by the fact Countess went from 5th to 2nd place and then had to drop out! From day one I knew she was a contender, she was getting more confident each bout! Countess really doesn't need to rap, she could sing, for real!....but she could do her own 16 bar rap verses on her own songs instead of having a guest rapper appear on the trax!
I've got some personal behind the scenes photos right here if you would like to check them out after the jump...

Everybody's talking about the backstage Perez freakout. I think Perez was justified. He had a legitimate technical difficulty, his mic was off, and that's the worst thing to happen when you're on stage. Everyone else still had a chance to win because most of them just plain forgot lyrics and used the start over as an excuse to save themselves...

Being a judge is weird because you really don't wanna tell the truth when these people look at you with puppy dog eyes...but you have to! We haven't really disagreed but when Big Boy chose to save Perez, I was like, 'What in the world is your reason for that?' Read more...
