It’s 1999 Music Week here at The Ringer, which means we’re taking you back to the event that defined music in 1999, the MTV Video Music Awards. We talk about Chris Rock’s opening monologue (10:24), Diana Ross jiggling Lil’ Kim’s boob (14:35), Paul McCartney mispronouncing Lauryn Hill’s name (17:03), and other iconic moments from the show.
