Rapper nominated for Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame?!?!

[protectionist]

The rapper LL Cool J has been nominated for induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

So what's next??

Is the group KISS going to be inducted into the R&B hall of fame?? .

Couldn't have picked a nicer guy.

And LL Cool J is a really nice guy.

Lots of guys are nice guys. Like Liberace. I wouldn't nominate him for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Long time rockers like Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney must be scratching their heads.

so what has he contributed to R&R?.....what Rock acts has he influenced?...

 

[Harry Dresden]

That makes no sense to me.

Why?

Rap is a sub genre of Rock.

As much as say, Heavy Metal or Punk.

how come no Rockers are in the Hip/Hop/Rap HOF?....

Blondie's song and video 'Rapture' was the first commercially successful main stream rap song.

But so far she hasn't been inducted into the Hip/Hop/Rap HOF.

Maybe her blond hair and white skin is a visible barrier for admission into the all black category.

there was a music "critic" last year in response to them being passed by again who said....."what have they done to warrant their induction?.......Smoke On The Water isnt enough".......and this guy was a music critic.........i guess he is unaware of all the acts they influenced.... James Hetfield of Metallica i believe it was ....said its funny how all the rock acts from the 80's who are already here cite DP as a very major influence......and yet they are not here

No. Just no. The point of Rap was to create a music that had nothing to do with 'white man's music,' i.e., Rock.

It's a bit of a slap in the face, actually. "We claim this music as ours, too!" "Wait - what?! NO!"

He added: “We culture. Rap is the new rock ‘n’ roll. We the rock stars…We the new rock stars and I’m the biggest of all of them. I’m the No. 1 rock star on the planet.”

Be right back, need brain bleach.

Okay, where was I.

Yes. I take his statement to mean Rap is going to replace rock. How can it replace it, if it IS it??

Kanye West has gotten a new lease on life since his baby was born. He went on Jimmy Kimmel and made peace, he smiles all the time now.

The other thing, LL Cool J was caught by TMZ the other night and they congratulated him on making it into the hall of fame. He said maybe it was an accident referring to his song Accidental Racist and kind of started walking away with a wry grin on his face. This other guy suddenly started telling funny jokes one right after the other, rapid fire:

How do you find Will Smith in the snow. Look for Fresh Prints

What do you call a nun at 6000 ft? Nun of the above

You know why Lamar Odom gave Kobe Bryant 5,000,000? Cause Lamar Owed Him

He had Cool J laughing so hard. It was hilarious.

thats the way that that place is Sunni.....and there are still acts from the early days who actually contributed to R&R who are still waiting....like Deep Purple ......

Bullshit, deep purple is NOT in the hall of fame? Unreal.......that's just, ridiculous...

And ll cool j? screw that as a place I want see......off the list.

Not to mention great acts like Depeche Mode, The Cure, Duran Duran, Oingo Boingo, New Order; just to name a few. Yet, the Police and U2 are there because they sound more like 'classic rock.' I figured out that The Rock N' Roll HOF and The Grammys are bull shit a long time ago. I don't even worry about it.

 

[trams]

I hate the r and r hall of shame. How about Kansas. the Moody Blues just to name a few.
