VH-1 Honors Hip Hop:

[Still BLUTANG]

i'm excited, i think the hip hop honors is a great awards show / tribute. have they ever done anything specifically to honor the women in hip hop?

They did a very small tribute to the women of hip hop during last years Honors (i think it was last year) by allowing Salt and Pepa to perform, but they did not receive an award. They also let MC Lyte perform a small piece of Paper Thin. But it seems like everybody has forgotten the women of hip hop. I would also like to see one of these shows honor Roxanne Shante!!!

Not to invade your thread, but it seems like hip hop tends to dominate most award shows anyway.

i see what you're saying. a LOT of awards go to hip hop, but i guess that's because the music is now "pop"

i have a hard time classifying some artists as hip hop, even though itunes likes to tell me otherwise.

i thikn the VH1 awards are more geared towards old school people who may not have been formally recognized.

I agree.

Old school HH or New School HH? OSHH!
