Premiering on Monday, October 8 at 10 PM, “VH1 Hip Hop Honors,” will celebrate the players who broke new ground and pioneered the genre into a true cultural phenomenon. “VH1 Hip Hop Honors” will be taped at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Thursday, October 4. The music and influence of each of the honorees will be recognized through performances by classic artists in collaboration with today’s hottest new talent. Generations of hip hop will bridge the gap for one exceptional night to set it off with the original style and flavor that sparked and inspired the evolution of the music. Additional performances and appearances will be announced shortly.
On July 23, VH1.com is launching “THE SCORE,” an online search to find the best, undiscovered hip hop producer in the country. VH1 will give one lucky producer the opportunity to heat up VH1’s fourth annual hip hop celebration by awarding him or her with the opportunity to create and produce the official score of the annual, televised event. The winning score will be used during the broadcast of “VH1 Hip Hop Honors.” The creator will receive show credit and the opportunity to be mentored by an industry executive/producer during a session where the winning score will be professionally produced.
From July 23 through August 20, contestants can post their 60-second beats for consideration at http://hiphop.vh1.com. See site for official rules and guidelines. Three finalists will be selected by a panel of music industry judges. Viewers will then decide through online voting who has what it takes to create and produce this year’s official score to “VH1 Hip Hop Honors.”
The prizes are great: a studio session with Ahmir ”? uestlove” Thompson from The Roots to create our show’s theme, and a trip to NYC to attend this year’s Hip Hop Honors celebration.”

i respect missy but the nigga is lame as fuck
i just wanted to point out that missy is a jack of all trades. She is a rapper, songwriter, singer, MC, and produce dope records. She is the second highest selling female MC in the game and of all-time. She is the only female rapper with 6x Platinum records and a doudle platinum joint. she deserves the award
snoop is a legend not just part of a legacy...dre produced the tracks but snoop brought life to those beats and stamped the west coast. Dre's signature G-Funk needed a voice and icon. Snoop is and was that for DRE and Deathrow. Doggystyle was the first off the label to debut at #1. The West needed Snoop in the mid 90's. Others are going to point at other legends that came from the label but Snoop was the WEST COAST AND MADE A CLASSIC LP. Chronic he wrote the rhymes for DRE....legend
