Hip Hop Honors 2006
NYC to Host Hip-Hop Honors Week
NEW YORK (March 30) - A six-day celebration of hip-hop culture will be held in October along with VH1's third annual "Hip-Hop Honors" show, network and city officials announced Thursday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg - or "Mike B," as he called himself for the day - announced the festivities while flanked by hip-hop entrepreneur Russell Simmons and Ice-T .
Bloomberg said it's important for the city to honor musical traditions.
"That means celebrating an art form that has expressed the realities of city life," Bloomberg said after welcoming visitors to his "crib," City Hall. "As hip-hop has evolved and new artists have emerged, its lessons have continued to be valuable for us."
The events and promotions Oct. 12-17 will include hip-hop artists visiting city schoolchildren, performances at clubs throughout the city, and fashion- and sports-related events.
The show itself will be taped Oct. 7 and broadcast Oct. 17. This year's honorees include Simmons, MC Lyte, the Beastie Boys , the Wu-Tang Clan, Afrika Bambaataa, Rakim and Easy-E.
Ice-T , a rapper who plays a detective on TV's "Law & Order: SVU," will host the show.
In their comments, Ice-T and Simmons stressed the educational value of hip-hop and said its artists often spoke the truth, even if it wasn't pretty.

am vrut sa intreb pe cand 2pac? acum am vazut ca a fost in prima editie, pe care am pierdut-o din motive tehnice
A doua mi-a placut foarte mult.. Rev Run si Russell Simmons mi-au plact ca hosts ceva grozav si mi-a placut momentul biggie iara... Oricum, am ramas cu o impresie foarte buna.. Mi-e ciuda ca nu le-am gasit nici unde de downloadat... Daca are cineva ceva idei...
Astept sa vad si editia de anul asta...
