De La Soul

Yo, everybody’s favorite rap group (well, at least mine), De La Soul, is being honored at this year’s VH1 Hip Hop Honors. They will be recognized along with Too Short, Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature, and hip hop’s greatest storyteller, Slick Rick.

“VH1 Hip Hop Honors has come to represent the pinnacle of innovation and achievement in hip hop music,” Tom Calderone, Executive Vice President and General Manager of VH1 said in a press release. “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.

I, for one, am happy about this year’s line up of honorees. Now all I need to see is EPMD get in there!

The show will be premiering on VH1 and VH1 Soul on October 7 at 10 p.m.
