Gene Simmons of Kiss Slams Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash

[qawshun]

We need to get control of our music again before we can do a hip-hop hall of fame. We hardly respect older rappers. Barely respect the culture, but we get pissed when a outsider speaks of it in a negatively. All the infiltration that has happened to hip-hop I'm glad run and all them are in it. I hope hammer ass get in to. Give us our shit back

The scary thing is a lot of people today think white people created rock n roll.

Sadly the way things go much like the Rock and Roll hall of fame a HipHop hall of fame will welcome the Beastie Boys, Vanilla Ice, 3rd Bass, Young Black Teenagers, The Woods, Eminem and Macklemore before they start admitting actual ground breaking black acts to it...

i get why he doesn't want hip hop in the hall of fame but i hate when ignant white people don't get how hard it is to construct a hip hop album or song over rock. Yes certain rock music is hard to play but most of the shit on the radio is easy as fuck. Country and rock in the mainstream is 3 chords and most times someone else wrote the song especially country.

In hip hop while you do not play instruments most times creating verses and entire albums is hard as fuck compaired to other genres. You have to write 3 times the lyrical content. In pop/country/rock You have a couple key words like truck/dirt road and beer and its a top selling country song. Its not that easy even for gimmick hip hop artist to make a hit song.

Beastie Boys are in the RRHOF.....He didnt mention them, though....Thats 1 issue the other thing is the instruments thing...

A lot of early Run DMC music rocked and was rock based so I understand them being inducted.

I get where this salty old gimmick rocker is coming from but Run DMC was a bad example just like how Public Enemy would be a bad example.

He is right but this hip hop culture made rock stars without guitars. But I feel him cause in the future, niggas will vouch for Lil Wayne to be in the R&RHOF. What's next? Chief Keef being inducted? Asap Rocky? French Hannah? DJ Khaled? It may get out of hand in the next 50 years.

Pac never won a grammy

i know..but he wouldve eventually won SOME plus look how he was controllin the crowd pac wouldve definitely changed the face of the hiphop category of how the grammys was judged..,he wouldnt have just sat back & accepted the bs that goes on 2day a macklemore wouldve never walked away wit 4 hiphop grammys

I really doubt it. He would've been just another one of the many music greats who never won. The Grammy's are fixed.

Kiss is probably the most overrated rock band ever and I listen to a lot of rock. These dudes are known more for their gimmicks than they are their music, they should be the last person to criticize anyone. Take away the face paint and all the pyro and over the top shit at their show what do you got.

KISS isn't overrated 'Destroyer' is a classic and 'KISS' and 'Love Gun' are borderline classics.... KISS should've been in the rock n roll HOF a long time ago, not really for their music (i don't listen to anything after Dynasty ) but b/c of their impact marketing wise (probly the best band ever to market themselves) and that they were a must see live event in their prime and even tho they did make the HOF this year it's still sad they won't let Peter Criss and Ace perform with them...

Did Michael Jackson play the guitar?

No but the professional musicians who did all the heavy lifting on his albums played guitar.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Michael Jackson played the drums
