The VMAs would have been an absolute snoozefest without black women
The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards have come and—thankfully—gone. The event ran smoothly enough, which is fine, I guess, but it also robbed us of any spontaneous beefs, interruptions, or kisses that would have made it interesting.
Cardi B won Best Hip-Hop Video for her breathtaking"Money" visuals. She accepted the award in a red, roped gown that looked familiar to anyone who's seen Suspiria. She brought that infectious Cardi energy when she accepted her Moon Man, thanking not only the video's director, Jora Frantzis, who kept up with Cardi's demands to edit her cellulite, but also—in a refreshing move—her entire glam squad.
Missy Elliott's performance was like an episode of A Black Lady Sketch Show: excellent and abundant in its blessings but way too short. The Michael Jackson Video Video Vanguard Award recipient couldn't even scratch the surface of her discography. Unfortunately, my screaming at the top of my lungs couldn't persuade the VMAs to extend her set by an hour.
