I never thought I’d see cocaine without seeing it physically

[Bobby_Uterus]

The cocaine was everyone’s favorite part.

[RogueBoyScout]

Rick James dissin' Eddie, then snaps out of his cocaine haze and realizes Charlie was gonna be here too.

RIP Charlie Murphy.

[Kaysaymaybay]

“All the underground people that I didn’t think would win, won.” - A sentence you will never hear in today’s award shows

[yorkemar]

Strange, but Rick James seemed one if the most calmest interviews...he probably went back to eddie murphys place and ruined his couch however...

[baks]

David Lee Roth was on everything but roller skates.

[MrSmartguy]

Now MTV is 4, 389 episodes of Ridiculousness in a row.

[ElLuis]

Cher was like "ugh...mortals". And it seemed that while Rick James and Boy George were wasting time giving interviews outside David Lee Roth was snorting everything out of that party.

[phntomsoldier]

Can’t imagine people being this care free today.

[Spiraloutkeepgoing-ji]

Run DMC response is my response when someone asks how my day is going at work:”Well I walked in the door and I’m here.”

[Sorensenator]

Rick James looked the most sober surprisingly.

[npsimos]

Everyone looks normal. The celebrities look normal. Now everything is so different. Now everyone has perfect teeth, 8 hairdressers, no sweat, 87 plastic surgeries, fake everything. This is like raw I wish it was more like this today.
