Rap should have their own Hall of Fame for the same reason Dolly turned down induction.

With you on KRS and Boogie Down. Eric B and Rakim no doubt. Where’s BDK? KMD? Heavy? Needs to be a rap hall to give credit where it’s due. You know more than I thought Chuck. Love ya

Russell Simmons is hiding from his sexual assault allegations so spare me that suggestion. I know most of the music industry doesn’t care, but I expect more from PE.

Funny when I was young, rock was kind of friend’s older brother’s music , and I was worried punk was losing its edge...the first time I heard “Yo Bum Rush the Show” at a friend’s-it stopped me in my tracks!.

When I was a kid .. and I couldn't get the respect I knew I deserved .. I heard a great man sing "let's make our own movies like Spike Lee 'Cause the roles being offered don't strike me As nothing that the black man could use to earn Burn Hollywood, burn" And it changed how I saw the world ..

To be fair, the rock n roll hall of fame is kind of shit. They've overlooked a lot of metal, prog and hard rock bands

John Coltrane has been omitted for something like 50 years. This is a scam.

How is jazzer Coltrane even in a conversation about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Why not George Gershwin or Thelonious Monk? Because they aren’t ROCK.

Miles is in and was an influence on rock musicians and did jazz/rock hybrid albums that were a big fucking deal such as Tribute to Jack Johnson. Key jazz influences like Louie Armstrong are also in.

Don't be obtuse. If you don't know who has been inducted in the past and what the honor represents then go on and argue semantics with yourself.

90% of those awards are bullshit anyway. Oscars, Grammys, 250 Best Guitar Payers of Roling Stones Magazine. Why are rappers in the f*cking "Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame"???? What has rap to do with f*cking Rock and Roll Bullshit?????
