Rap Royalty to be Crowned at the VH1 2008 Hip Hop Honors
Imagine an event bringing together “la creme de la creme” of Hip Hop.
What about the 2008 VH1 Hip Hop Honors?
The event, which is to be held Monday night, 10pm, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, will include inducted artists such as Slick Rick, the late Issac Hayes, Too Short, De la Soul, Cypress Hill and Naughty by Nature.
During the rehearsals last Wednesday and Thursday, fellow hip-hop heavyweights Big Boi, Wyclef Jean and Public Enemy came out to practice alongside newcomers like Estelle and the Gym Class Heroes.
“We’re here to be a part of something historical,” Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy told MTV News. “It’s like the all-star game of hip-hop.”
This is the fifth class of legends to be nominated; past honorees include Snoop Dogg, the Wu-Tang Clan, Run-DMC and Rakim.
