The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards 1999
DMX picked up half of the awards he was nominated for and Lauryn Hill and Busta Rhymes each picked up two as The 1999 Source Hip-Hop Awards switched coasts for its first appearance in four years. DMX was named artist of the year, live performer of the year and his movie, "Belly," was named movie of the year. Hill's debut disc was the magazine's pick for album of the year and earned her the new solo artist of the year nod. Busta shared his awards with Janet Jackson (for best video) and Flipmode Squad (for best new group). But the show wasn't without its problems. The very first award was presented with the wrong envelope. And what about Jigga? Jay-Z was noticeably absent, from both the show and the winners list. Actually, Jay did win the non-televised award for lyricist of the year, but that's it. No love for a man whose album sat at the top of the Billboard charts for its first five weeks in release, setting a new record for hip-hop albums. Not even a nomination for best live performance for the headliner of the highest grossing hip-hop tour of all time. Politics as usual? Not quite. Something just doesn't seem right. The 411 Online staff took hundreds of photos and tracked down interviews with Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, hip-hop newlyweds Treach and Pepa, Jermaine Dupri, E-40, Da Brat, Grandmaster Flash and Kool DJ Herc, and Russell Simmons.
