PE made the RnR HOF

"It's a great piece of news for the genre and our intention was to spread the light that our music is as legitimate as any other music," Chuck D said as the group traveled through Wyoming on tour Monday. " ... So this is significant to be alongside Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys and just to be able to say this accomplishment, we don't think it's solely due to us."

nice.

Amazing and absolutely deserved. One of the best music acts of all time easily. Give me PE over The Rolling Stones any day of the week.

With that said, it's fucking time to get LL Cool J in there. We need an old school Def Jam wing in the HOF. For my money that's the best era in music history.

The Beastie’s exhibit is so small. So is Run-DMC. I know Hip Hop is new to the RRHOF but seriously I hope they expand it. There is so much more they could add!

Anyway on that note, amazing news!!! Congrats PE!

Yea Boy...

so-signing everyone here.

my opinion is that the 4 year old Grammy Museum is quickly becoming the better showcase for bands like this.

PE already had a retrospective exhibit, and both them and Beastie Boys, featuring the artwork of Cey Adams, was a major part of last year's Hip Hop Legends exhibit.

it is a really cool place and their artifacts seem so much cooler. I've never been to R&R HOF, but I read that this year's induction, for the first time ever, will be at LA Live Center, in the same complex as the Grammy Museum. they should collaborate on something huge.

I also want to see a BBoys exhibit at the Grammy Museum one day. this is where Yauch's decks are currently on display...

Yeah, RNRHOF seems reluctant to acknowledge Hip Hop solo artists. LL Cool J and Eric B & Rakim need to be in there. I am sure LL is next, though which would be cool.

PE is a no-brainer, but N.W.A. didn't get in and that's weak. "I don't drink Brass Monkey, like my beats funky, nickname Eazy-E, yo, 8 Ball junkie."

They're going to need to start inducting a lot more than one hip hop group a year to keep pace.

that's dope! people hate on russell, but he managed legends in his hey day.
