Was George Clinton honored? He deserves a great big honor just for everyone sampling him!

that's a really good question.

oh oh oh oh Here Come The Hammer.

Anxiety said:

Oh man, I doubt they would ever honor him. Besides he acts like he's ashamed of his hip hop career so he probably wouldn't want to be honored anyways.

A Tribe Called Quest
Heavy D and the Boys
Beastie Boys
MC Hammer
Naughty By Nature

I hate young mc. "bust a move" is awful. Old school in a really formulaic and repetitive way.

well now here's a question. who has been previously honored?


i heard there was a HIP HOP HONORS last year and Public Enemy was honored. Was that the first ever, and this year's was the second annual?

thesexofit said:

Imagine that...a HAMMER fan calling another artist AWFUL AND FORMULAIC...Damn shame! LOL!

dreamfactory313 said:

Are you sure that's not Young Forrest Whittaker MC?

TheCrucialExperience said:

I don't know who has been previously honored, but:

KRS One
Rakim
EPMD
MC Lyte

Now come on, who the hell rapped like hammer before him? No one. Give him credit. Young MC was just a plain average rapper with nothing new production wise....

Sure hammer sampled, but hammers production was different from other hiphop. It had a pop feel. Hammer knew that. Hammer was at least original compared to the hiphop at the time.

I can take a beating on hammer, but young MC over hammer no way.

Lakim was the first rapper to roll out the Nation of Islam's/5 % voice.

thesexofit said:

Dawg, Hammer was trash. Period. The ONLY people that liked Hammer were the SAME PEOPLE that liked Vanilla Ice. Case closed. Hammer's main contribution to the rap/hip-hop game = STAGE EXCESS. Not a good thing. Hammer was garbage. Period.

TheCrucialExperience said:

I did not know that! I would love to honor the whole Native Tongue/Flavor Unit crew.

CinisterCee said:

Yeah, they were the shit! Nikki D, Naughty, Monie, Queen, Ced Gee, De La, JBs, Tribe, and the infamous creator of the "900 Number" - DJ Mark The 45 King!

TheCrucialExperience said:

I would feel compelled to honor 45 King and Prince Paul.

CinisterCee said:

Ahhh...How can I forget Prince Paul?

CinisterCee said:

This year's was the second show. 'KRS One' was honored last year.

I would like to see these artists honored: Funky Four Plus One, Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force, M.C. Hammer, Eric B. & Rakim, New York City Breakers, Ice Cube, Digital Underground.
