Just put all the rappers in. ALL the rappers. F*** the name, hip-hop IS the essence and spirit of rock and roll. Period.

It's not just about "this rapper made great rap music, put him n the rock hall of fame!" It's about the influence. Whether from a sonic stand-point or a content perspective, you can't look at a lot of bands post-1990 and not see elements of their sound that wouldn't be possible without certain hip-hop acts. The Hall's always been about the influential artists whose legacies impacted the genre.

I love the Peter Cetera balladry and hate the horn stuff. I enjoy both eras. I also like all the eras of Jefferson Airplane/Starship, from Somebody to Love to Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now. Me too-and it hit me a few years ago, I got into them in the 80s and there was this whole catalog of songs to learn about and hear all at once if I wanted, as opposed to someone who grew up and appreciated them in the 60s. They very well could have hated their 80s phase because they watched their group change, so the difference between complaining and enjoying coulda just came down to age and when you discovered them. It makes me think about when I complain that "so and so was great, now they suck" and really my complaining might just come down to timing. Makes me question why I complain. That's deep

When MTV started they didn't even play black artists really, much less hip hop which was just starting and as time went on, MTV took notice and changed-just like any entity that brings music to the masses.
