Soul Train Awards 2014: Chris Brown & Tinashe Perform, And Lil Kim, Missy Elliott & Da Brat Reunite
Chris Brown wins big at the 2014 Soul Train Awards! The R&B singer, who lead the pack with seven nominations, took home the awards for Best Collaboration, Best Dance Performance and Best Hip-Hop Song of the Year for “Loyal.” He also opened the show with an eight-minute medley — which included oldies but goodies like 2007’s “Take You Down” and 2005’s “Poppin.”
Other highlights of the evening included Tinashe‘s killer mashup of “Pretend” and “2 On,” that featured some intense choreography. Femcees Lil Kim, Missy Elliott and Da Brat closed out the show by reuniting for their 1997 single — “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix).”
