Snoop Dogg Feat. R. Kelly "That's That S***"

Common Feat. Kanye "Start The Show"

Wreckx-N-Effect "Rumpshaker"

And speaking of "Lost & Found".... Will Smith "Lost & Found"

Will Smith "Coming To The Stage", the quality of those bonus tracks tells you that "Lost & Found" shoulda been a double album

And most importantly an appearance from da Fresh Prince on the album, now that's some BS that they'd kick Jeff off stage, I could see if it was some raunchy garbage rapper but Jazzy's a class act, he don't deserve that....

KRS-ONE "The Only One"

LL Cool J "Hip Hop"

Dope!!!!

I had to bring out "The Return Of The Magnificent" album when I read this interview, Jazzy stays busy for real

KRS-ONE Feat. Buckshot "Robot"

Jazzy Jeff & Jean Grae "Super Jean"

Wow I didn't know that "The Return Of The Magnificent" went gold, that'd be pretty impressive for an independent album, maybe they're counting worldwide sales since real hip hop's more popular out of the US these days

A lot of the rappers that VH1 Honored over the years already were Def Jam rappers(examples: Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Beastie Boys), not that I'm complaining, but there's plenty of other legendary rappers who weren't on Def Jam that didn't get honored yet

Once again no JJFP, especially since they were on Jive, lol: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.9249/title.vh1-hip-hop-honors-to-focus-entirely-on-def-jam VH1 Hip Hop Honors To Focus Entirely On Def Jam June 4th, 2009 | Author: Slava KupersteinVH1 has decided to have the entire focus of this year's Hip Hop Honors show to focus on the legendary Hip Hop label, Def Jam.

A lot of great stuff in this thread, I'm just checking it out now, haha

2Pac "Staring Through My Rearview"

Of course we know Will's probably gonna win this round but you can't sleep on Salt, and well if KRS and Big Pun battled it'd possibly be KRS' toughest battle, Big Pun put a dent in 50 Cent's early career

I don't wanna see the Lakers win the championship but they seem like the team of destiny but people were saying that the Cavs were the team of destiny too so you never know, it all starts tonight, let the games begin....

Quite a bit of interesting battles in this round, yeah y'all know how big of a KRS fan I am but I'm gonna have to think hard about that battle with Big Pun

Will Smith "We Won't"
