This year marks the 50th anniversary of hip hop and it will be a celebration Texas Style, with live performances by Yella Beezy, Mike Jones, Dorrough, and Lil Will.

Ice Cube and the D.O.C, who will be honored dropped by 97.9 The Beat to talk about their influence on hip hop and what 50 years of hip hop meant to them as early pioneers.  Ice Cube makes it plain that he will continue to drive the culture forward, despite gatekeepers working behind the scenes to undermine the BIG3.
