If she didn't act like video models are responsible for hip hop I would agree with her. They were a nice addition but video models weren't all that

Video vixens are JUST props 😂

Hip hop is art form, video vixens are accessory to music videos, magazines, selling clothes, marketing n advertising but I don't see why they need to acknowledged, are they musicians n artists, hello no

all i did was walk up to a fuckin* car.... exactly

NO ON I REPEAT NO ONE EVER SAID "The music is trash but the video models made me buy the album, watch the video etc". They were just icing on the cake.

A model’s recognition is payment and visual recognition. No awards are given to models.

Accountability is Kryptonite for these types of women

I'm with flip. 1) Video models are not inherent to hip-hop. Modeling in general is its own profession, where the work is to model for compensation, whether it's fashion shows, video commercials, movies, product displays, or in this case music videos. 2) They didn't "contribute" to hip-hop. Once hip-hop became a profitable industry, they were employed. There's a difference. In other words, they didn't help build this genre. When this genre became lucrative enough, it became one of the various employers of models, using their talents to create visuals for the music.

I get it....i do.....but the acknowledgement of Hip Hop like several others have said is the acknowledgement of the ART FORM.....The MUSIC itself....if video vixens would have started at the VERY beginning...maybe a stronger argument could be had but i see why they weren't acknowledged.

I get both sides of the arguement, but lets be real... every industry has the ones that work and keep things going behind the scenes and in the scenes but yet others get most of the credit. like actors... main actors always get the credit, but yet there were literally 100's of people who made that actor look good and keeping things running smooth but has NEVER gotten the credit for it. thats just how it is. there is no way to honor everyone, otherwise if everyone is important than really no one is important.... just the way it works. but everyone does deserve some form of credit for their part in something done.... but also, in this particular issue, the video vixens were not even what the hip hop was about, and this might sound bad but honestly they were simply a tool used to sell the persona, really no different than adding the fly cars and jewelry to it. but on a side note Flip had me on the floor the way he started laughing out loud Melyssa was like "and whats so funny?"....😅😅😅😅

"How do you think yall could be celebrated?" ...........crickets

So her by her logic, the cars in the videos should be recognized also😂

Melyssa Ford is right the standard was different in her time. I remember her image in the magazine and video vixen industry from the very beginning. Melyssa Ford was one of the first that paved the way for the gorgeous, stand up and respectable woman. Melyssa Ford was and still is a symbol of what could be achieved. It was the other woman who f'd the video vixen industry up, long after Melyssa Ford made a name for herself. Melyssa Ford is an ICON. It wasn't just the men who loved her it was also many woman who wanted to be her or be like her. Melyssa Ford inspired many.

To each it's own, but I don't ever remember a rapper getting famous because of the video vixen in their video. Video vixens are no more important than the models on lowrider magazines. Unfortunately they are used to help boost a product. They are not the product themselves. Now if a video vixen were to transition her career as a video girl into selling other products similar to the Kardashians then you could speak to maybe their business impact. But their impact as a whole on hip hop itself would be unchanged regardless of their inclusion or not. Lastly, What impact would you acknowledge them for? How do you quantify that?
