VH-1 Honors Hip Hop:
NEW YORK - Hip-hop's pioneers will be celebrated with a new awards show to air later this year on VH1, the network's president told The Associated Press.
Though it has recently changed its focus to pop culture and has profiled rappers such as Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, VH1 has hardly been synonymous with hip-hop over the years.
But network president Christina Norman says VH1 is the perfect venue for such an awards show, which will be an annual event. "The people who grew up listening to the Sugar Hill Gang and Run-DMC," Norman said, "those are our viewers."
"VH1 Hip-Hop Honors," scheduled for Oct. 8, will honor groundbreaking artists with a show that mixes old-school and current rap performers.

Vivica A. Fox and Mos Def will host the awards show, which pays tribute to groundbreaking hip-hop artists. Among those in the first group of honorees are the Sugar Hill Gang, KRS-One, Run DMC and Tupac Shakur.
From what the article states, I don't think it's going to be a typical awards show. I'm sure those mentioned above will be honored and other artists could possibly pay homage to the honorees.

This is an awards show? Nuts. I thought it was going to be a retrospective.

At least Vivvy is hanging around a better class of rapper. I'd take Mos Def over Fiddy and Lil' STD any day.

Was that VH1, or MTV. I'm watching the 22 Greatest MC's on MTV2. How in the HELL did Nelly get on the list??? How is he above some real MC's. Again, I'm on #7. I think I'm gonna be mad. They are continuously reminding people that it was viewer's choice. Cause, this is some BS!!!

I can't wait for this show!! I had a nice time watching "And You Don't Stop... 30 Years of Hip-Hop." It was a good retrospective. The old clips were SOOOOO hilarious to watch because clothing, hairstyles, jewelry, etc. has changed so much over the years.

YUP!!! Oh, I'm still mad about the 22 Greatest MC's List. Why is Em above Rakim and Nas. Why is Biggie above Rakim?

I've got some commitments and may have to miss this, but I want to see how Vivvy looks and acts. Again, Mos Def is a great improvement over Fiddy and Lil' STD.

Soror ST:
Vivvy will be "dropping it" on the show. I just saw a preview on BET and Vivvy has a few dancers and they are "working it out". 
She's just copying off Mo'Nique and 'nem!
