Tracy Morgan is that rare species of man who cannot not be funny. He’s physically a human body pillow that we’d like to hug behind the middle school, and verbally like sugar-coated genius Tourettes. Which is why he’s the perfect man to host VH1’s Hip Hop Honors, premiering Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 9/8c.

Tracy is more than just a man, however. He is also an actor. “Scoopy Giles”, the “fifth Beatle or the sixth Jackson or the invisible fourth Tony! Toni! Toné! also named Tony” to Def Jam’s legacy, is all over this year’s HHH, sharing his wisdom about barely working in the industry for 25 years. So just what is Scoopy’s sound? Why, take a listen to his biggest hit to date… “Dumplin’ Butts”. Just dump in his mouth, it ain’t no big thang.

AHEAD: One of our personal favorite Scoopy Giles clips, where he is interviewed by the thankfully inimitable Nancy Grace. He named LL Cool J after the man quit cheese, y’all.
