VH1’s annual “Hip Hop Honors “is set to honor five legends in hip-hop: Cypress Hill, Too Short, De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, and Slick Rick. This event will celebrate hip-hop’s glory days when rap began to make a real impact on American pop culture.

“Now in its fifth year, the ‘VH1 Hip Hop Honors’ has come to represent the pinnacle of innovation and achievement in hip hop music,” said Tom Calderone, Executive Vice President and General Manager, VH1. “This year’s five honorees are no different and are being recognized for their significant contributions to hip hop culture and for helping to elevate hip hop into a truly global phenomenon.”
