2010 Hip Hop Honors Update: Adding Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, DJ Drama and more
Posted by Miss Info under concerts , crony-ism , exclusives , good for hip hop , good for me , old music , things I love[19] Comments
(um….wow. Photo of Gucci on his video set last week. I am really not a fan of the weaponry-sunglasses that have been popping up in the hood ever since Rihanna and Gaga started channeling Grace Jones last year. Via PrinceWilliam/ATLPics)
So today, the VH1 team announced new additions to the upcoming VH1 2010 Hip Hop Honors “The Dirty South” event, airing June 7th. And along with the previously announced honorees: J. Prince of Rap-A-Lot Records, Jermaine Dupri, Luther “Luke” Campbell and The 2 Live Crew, Master P of No Limit Records, and the Organized Noize family. And the previously announced performers: Pitbull, Paul Wall, T-Pain, Lil Jon, Trina, and the homie Bun B…
Newly announced 2010 Hip Hop Honors performers:
Bone Crusher, Chamillionaire, Dem Franchize Boyz, DJ Drama, DJ Khaled, Flo Rida, Gucci Mane, Juvenile, Lil Jon, Missy Elliott, Murphy Lee, Mystikal, Nelly, Plies, Rick Ross, Slim Thug, Trick Daddy,and Ying Yang Twins
2010 Hip Hop Honors presenters:
the freshly danced-off Chad Ochocinco, Chilli, David Banner, Donald Glover, Eddie Griffin, Kelly Rowland, Ken Jeong, Kid Rock, Taraji P. Henson and Terrell Owens will be on hand. Ken Jeong?! Yay!
Now, it’s not mentioned in today’s announcement, but I know that you know that we know that Missy Elliott’s inclusion hints at a Timbaland honoree slot. (not to mention the fact that his mug clearly appears on the Hip Hop Honors website, lol) But my question on twitter was….can someone please kofi-annan some type of truce between Timbo and Ginuwine? Because that duo made slow jam magic. (NH).
After the jump….my brohams at Complex enlisted Noz/CocaineBlunts and together they compiled an amazing list (and listener) of the greatest Organized Noize songs…
Also….Complex’ Peter Rubin (mastermind of the Complex Twitter beef) talked to Nelson George and Fab Five Freddy about Hip Hop Honors overall…
Noz (CocaineBlunts) and Complex compiled a fascinating list of The Top 25 Organized Noize Tracks of All Time, starring everyone from Curtis Mayfield to UGK to TLC to EnVogue. I had barely heard of any of the songs listed between #24 and #15. So it was great exposure. But from #14 to the #1 pic, nothing but much loved classic after timeless classic: ie, “Git Up Git Out,” “Blackberry Molasses,” “Watch for the Hook” (!!!). Now I won’t give away their #1 pick, it’s a legend, but it wasn’t my all-time favorite, “Cell Therapy.” Amazing job, guys!
Nice to see my videogaming potna Peter having a dignified conversation with two culture experts like Nelson George and Fab Five Freddy.

First off i don’t like Gucci Mane as a artist but welcome home. However , nergo take those silly ass glasses off. I have seen many fashion epidermics in my 27 years of living but those glasses? HELL FUCKING NO!
One more thing before i go. The Vh1 Hip Hop Honors has went from being respectful to a Coon Picnic (excuse me for those harsh words). But that was my first thoughts after i read the lineup for performers. Where is Outkast? Where is Goodie Mob? Where is Ludacris? Thank you, viacom you manage to spit on my culture with such grace …again!
(Jesus I’m from New York and i am saying this. I can only imagine how a person from the south feels)
On the night that this thing (Yes i mean thing) happens. I will be on my soap box bumping that new Scarface mixtape … thank you all for your time. Now back to your regular schedule program.
(BEEEEEP)

so when did men start wearing womens glasses? I think this is why we see so many articles associating black men with being gay..every time I look up I see dudes in some shit that looks questionable. First it was really tight shirts, then the skinny jeans. then you saw dudes with knickerbockers on. Then it was the man purse. Now you even see dudes with boots on that almost come to they knee, and they tucking they jeans in them. #comeonson….now you see gucci with chicks glasses on…when does the madness stop

Where’s all the houston stars. I needa see Z-Ro and/or Trae. And its an insult if the founder of CHOPPED & SCREWED isn’t saluted, DJ Screw. Big Moe, Big Steve, Big HAWK, Fat Pat.

do you at all think you’re being a little bit too esoteric? I mean honestly. I totally respect Screw and Suave House and Fat Pat etc. But just like I don’t expect the BET Hip Hop Awards to keep it real with all the indie hip hop artists, I wouldnt expect Hip Hop Honors to include every Southern artist that made their mark in the movement either. It would be nice but its not realistic.
