EXCLUSIVE: Chuck D. Discusses Being Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

[Mr. Caesar]

This is epic. I'm glad to hear P.E. is going into the Hall of Fame. The Hall's got a repectable Hip Hop wing forming: Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and now P.E.

As the years pass, and rap gets older as an artform, it should be interesting to see who else gets in. NWA may get in next year, and LL's been nominated a few times, so he should get in at some point. Russell Simmons will probably get in as a non-performer, 'cause he's affiliated with too many HOF'ers (PE, RUN DMC, the Beasties) to be kept out. And, in 2018, I think Dr. Dre will be a lock to get in.

Glad to see when it all boils down that the Real will surface. Great moment for Hip Hop.

All good posts. It's nice to see hip hop heads that got love and respect for the genuine and deeply influential rap artists.

Congratulations! I'm proud to be a fan of the group and witness of their movement. Since 80's to mid 90's they had game on lock! If you don't believe check Do The Right Thing movie. It looks like time capsule today.

Sweeeet... glad to see PE make it in, seeing how much they changed hip hop. Hopefully NWA gets in next year, at least they're letting hip hop acts in now.

Sidenote: Super stoked to see Rush get inducted too *Rush fan post*
