Hip Hop Honors Announces Line-Up!

Roll through hip hop's old school and you quickly get goosebumps: the array of innovative artists that helped establish the music is daunting. Our annual salute to the masters who gave rap its early achievements has become a great tradition. This year, VH1's Hip Hop Honors is saluting five wildly creative acts,
Cypress Hill,
De La Soul,
Naughty By Nature,
Slick Rick, and
Too Short. Each brought a wealth of ideas to the table, guiding the music to the next level.
The show is hosted by Tracy Morgan. It premieres on October 7 on VH1. Click on to see great photos of this year's honorees... more
