Monday night, VH1’s Hip Hop Honors aired and everyone was hype! Female pioneers of the genre were honored, including Queen Latifah, Missy Elliot, Salt-N-Pepa and Lil Kim. We were treated to performances from Monica, Fantasia, Dej Loaf, Remy Ma, Teyana Taylor, Da Brat, Eve and many more. Lil Kim and Faith Evans even settled their beef!

However, what might have stolen the show was a blunder that rapper Rich Homie Quan made on stage while he was performing the hit “Get Money” with Lil Kim.

Throughout the performance, Quan not only seemed to trip his way through The Notorious B.I.G.’s lines, but at one point — he was silent!

So sir, this is your favorite Lil Kim song, you were set to perform it, and yet….you didn’t know the lyrics!?

Needless to say, folks weren’t too pleased.

In typical Black Twitter fashion, the hashtag #RichHomieKaraoke was born, since the rapper couldn’t seem to remember (or know) the words. Here’s what people think Rich Homie’s take on some of these famed songs would sound like:

Poor Quan. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.

On the bright side, kids across the nation are still hitting the quan. It’s cool. In the infamous words of the rapper whose lyrics you should have known — “get money.”
