It might be all good between Junior Mafia and Rich Homie Quan, despite the Atlanta rapper's flub on stage at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors on Monday night, but forgiveness won't equate to many forgetting how he screwed up Biggie's part while performing "Get Money," with honoree Lil Kim. Kim has since acknowledged Quan for taking the time out to apologize for the blunder, and after participating among legions of internet trolls, in ensuring that he re-live the embarrassment, Lil Cease cut the 26-year-old some slack, putting much of the blame on the event's organizers. But he didn't let Quan off the hook just like that, criticizing his lack of preparation for the event.
"Come on, dawg. For a new cat from the South to come out and she's giving you love to do that part, I feel like you have to take it more seriously, more professional. I don't think he understood the dynamic. People like Big and Pac and Big Pun and them, you can't play with them vocals like that. But I can't fault him that much, either. He was asked to be a part of it," said Cease. "I think a bunch of other people from New York could've gone up there. I knew I wasn't going to be a part of it, because me and Kim have a situation that we never fixed. It could've been Fabolous, it could've been his son CJ [Wallace], it could've been anybody else. I felt like [Rich Homie Quan] was put in a bad place. It's messed up on his behalf because he's getting the wrong end of the stick."
Moments after Quan was introduced and onto the stage, his attempt to channel the King of New York, with a vintage Coogi sweater and bass in his voice fell flat as he fumbled lyrics, then completely stopped rapping. Kim would pick the performance back up from it's awkward silence, but the moment had already gone down infamy, as the streams of social media began to flood with memes mocking the performance. Cease, whose name came up in the song just as Quan's bars fell off with him mistaking "play Nintendo with Cease-A-Leo," with "Cease at Alamo," had himself joined in the laughs, sending out two memes; one of which asked "WHO THE F**K IS ALIMO?" and another of himself standing before Nintendo consoles at an Alamo car rental.
Kim and Cease's mercy comes after Rich Homie Quan was knocked by Joey BadA$$ as a personification of what is wrong with Hip Hop, while QuestLove of the Roots said there was room for blame to go around the whole of the Hip Hop community.
