This article talks of some kind of performance to be held in New York on 22 of September honouring Hip hop and JAZZY is performing along side KANYE, COMMON, Eve, SNOOP, Missy and others.

The article is as follows-

"Contemporary hip hop has faced much resistance and censorship issues as critics slam it for glamourising sex, violence and offensive language and losing its actual essence of protesting against issues of racism, discrimination and violence; but it has managed to overcome the criticism because it still retains the concept of unifying diverse ethnic populations.

With artistes like Missy Elliott, Ciara, Destiny's Child, Black Eyed Peas and Eminem topping the charts the world over, the popularity of hip hop is unquestionable.

Hip hop and rap are the fastest growing genres in the US and over the world and continue to evolve.

Hip hop not only has its own rhythm, it also has its own individual language and fashion.

'Street language' from the Bronx (phat, bling-bling, dope, legit) comprises the constantly changing lingo that also forms the lyrics of rap numbers.

Another dynamic aspect is the way it has typically combined clothes and music to generate fashion-branded loose, oversized outfits and accessories (expensive sneakers, caps worn backwards, chunky gold jewellery).

Riding high on the growing global hip hop scene is Vh1 — India's only international music and lifestyle channel from MTV Networks celebrates hip hop talent every year through the Vh1 Hip Hop Honors to honour artistes who have contributed to making hip hop what it is today.

This year the big boys over the ages like LL Cool J, Notorious B.I.G. and Ice T, Salt-N-Pepa to name a few, who played an important role in promoting hip hop will be paid tribute.

The event will take place in New York on September 22 and feature performances by an amazing line up of A-list stars like Kanye West, Eve, Nelly, Common, Jazzy Jeff, Snoop Dogg and Missy Elliott, among others.

And the channel is offering the opportunity to two lucky winners to be a part of all the action and soak up the music.

The contest in association with Brylcreem and Adidas, travel and hospitality partner Thomas Cook, co-partnered with Planet M, Sify iway, Coffee Day Xpress and INOX provides 'All Access' to the show where the winners will attend rehearsals, hang backstage with artistes, walk the red carpet and then watch the show with the creme de la creme of New York!

To enter one has to SMS HHH to 6882, to win the all expenses paid ALL ACCESS trip for two to NYC. What’s more, there’s an Apple iPod to be won every day as well! " :yeah:
