Last year, VH1's Hip-Hop Honors paid respect to Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Salt-N-Pepa and all of the women in hip-hop who paved the way.
This year's show will honor an era that we all know and love: the '90s. VH1's Hip-Hop Honors: The 90's Game Changers will pay respect to music, films, and television shows from that era.

During the '90s, Lawrence was one of the most important figures in pop culture: He was the driving force behind the influential television show Martin and starred in hit movies like Bad Boys, Nothing to Lose, and Blue Streak.
