if those are the honorees, i promise u it will be the highest ratings ever

 

The idea behind Hip-Hop Honors is to honor those influential artists who's active recording career has pretty much peaked, with a couple of exceptions here and there.  So while there's a ton of no-brainers out there like Jay, Nas, Outkast, Geto Boys, Busta, etc that must and will be honored (if the show lasts long enough), the time is not now.  To honor major cats who are still recording and touring and doing interviews on the regaular turns this show into another ****' Source Awards or Vibe Awards or BET Awards.

 

BTW: If you're going to make a thread like this, it'd make you look smarter if you actually did some research and knew that Wu-Tang was already honored.

 

There's still a ton of artists and executives and producers who have been grossly overlooked thus far.  The whole decade of 1982 - 1992 is under-represented and remain largely unknown to today's 20-something young rap fan.  Hip-Hop Honors should educate and once it stops doing that, it's just another piece of shit show that celebrates the last decade (1998-2008) of hip-hop mediocrity.

exactly,and while those guys will be honored,it wont be until later when they are done.Exec's are a little harder 2 do tho,because Execs can be in the biz for years and never slow down.Like for example i would think guys like Rick Ruben,LA Reid and Diddy would have to be honored eventually,but all 3 are still making big moves in the music biz so based on the criteria of slowing down,its hard to give them this honor right now.

There would be very few exceptions,like LL Cool J,although his carreer is in a decline,he's still actively recording on a major record deal and everything else,but its hard to deny him this honor when he was a founding father pretty much
