Last week Okayplayer was in the house for the taping of this years VH1 Hip Hop Honors, which featured The Roots performing a tribute to Isaac Hayes along with Mos Def, Public Enemy, Estelle, Cee-Lo, and Scarface.  Additionally, we saw performances by honorees Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Too $hort and Naughty By Nature.  Check out our exclusive photos below (shout out to Lil Burt), as well as some videos from the night.  You can also see the full show in re-runs on VH1. Also, big up to... us! Okayplayer won BEST HIP-HOP SITE.
