Previous celebrations have honored hip hop luminaries who broke new ground and propelled the genre into the true cultural phenomenon that it has become. Last year’s production celebrated the 25th anniversary of Def Jam records, the label that created the stars that pushed hip hop culture forward, including LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Slick Rick, Rick Ross and Rihanna. Rick Rubin, Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, Julie Greenwald, Bill Stephany, Kevin Liles and LA Reid were honored as the architects of the legendary label.

2010 VH1 Hip Hop Honors: The Dirty South is the first time that the show has honored a particular geographic region for its hip hop celebration. The Southern style of music and its artists, have been significant on the NYC-born genre and helped to expand its appeal worldwide.

I'm glad the South is getting some recognition. Especially Rap-A-Lot.


And I'm HELLA glad Tracy Morgan ain't hosting the shit. He is fucking annoying as the host. Chris Rock should host it, though. He knows old school hip-hop like a mufucka.

 

How is it so far?

 

to me it is suckin ass. sheesh.

 

That bad huh? lol

 

it finally picked up when they honored organized noize. (which is why i wanted to see it anyway) they hit some classic kast. dayum i miss them playaz from back then.

 

At least it got better...

 

Wonder if the show will suck ass. It was pretty weak, the last few years. Russel got honored twice. The fuck?

 

BDR, blood diamond, with his chessey ass style, all he gets is fine ass women of every ethnicity and awards, life must be a grand.

 

new rules: this killa cam image needs to be retired

 

HA!!!! For real.

 

Well, I watched it. I thought their tribute was okay, but not like it could have been.

They need to step up these tributes. Nothing compares to the Kane one. That shit is memorable.

 

My favorite one was probably the Whodini one. I tought that year was gonna be wack, but that was actually my favorite one. The Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five one was the shit.

 

Not likely to happen.

 

i agree on all three. good stuff. and you know why it was standout?? cause those heads came out and rocked their own material with passion and wreckage. did you see when 2 Live Crew came out to perform on this last one? c'mon shun... that was beyond pathetic. asian cat could barely walk and hold the mic. and the no limit... i can't even believe i was forced to mention someone even honoring master p. :smt087 what - THE - fuck. damn. where is my train of thought... it was flowin here a second ago...

"hold up..." (pimp c style)

yea, so uhm... right. the reason the outkast (organized noize) one was slackin was because for one, outkast wasn't there. :smt012 (no surprise, but dang nabbit!) and why was khujo the only goodie member spittin on that one track? i almost knew cee-lo wouldn't show but gipp too? dag...

and lest we not forget that scarface boycotted. so the show was bound to be wack after that. uuugghhh...

 

Commericalism and materialism is hurting hip-hop at moment.. I wish they could show some respect for rappers from West Coast and Mid-West..

 

I have to say the HIP HOP awards SUCK

 

The show could've been worse
