VH1 will once again honor the hip hop pioneers and legends that have made significant contributions to all aspects of pop culture with the fourth annual "VH1 Hip Hop Honors." Hosted by Tracy Morgan, this year's honorees include Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, Missy Elliott, WHODINI, the movie Wild Style, and Teddy Riley and Andre Harrell for New Jack Swing.
Need help cooking up some beats?
Here are a few places that you can get started.
Beats and loops are a great part of hip hop. The Score lets you compose the soundtrack for Hip Hop Honors 2007.
Music producers submitted 60-second clips of original instrumental music to see if they've got what it takes. Our panel of experts will judge the entries, and decide on three finalists. Listeners get to vote on each of the final submissions.
The winner gets a studio session with Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson from The Roots to create our shows theme, and a trip to NYC to attend this year’s Hip Hop Honors celebration.
Q. Can I still enter?
A. Submissions are closed. Come back on August 27th to VOTE on the finalists.
