Title: Did You Hear? Run DMC in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Post by: mistershow on March 06, 2009, 01:32:32 PM
It's about time that hip hop's culture gets recognized for playing a big part in different music genres.  Run DMC is being inducted next month along with metallica in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...it's so cool to hear that b/c i think the last big hip hop star to make it so far in was grandmaster flash. i could keep going about this but wat do u guys think?

What do you mean about time? The rules of the Hall of Fame are that you aren't eligible until 25 years after your first release. Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five are already in and got in the first year of eligibility. This is the first year of Run DMC Grandmaster eligibility. Who exactly was supposed to be inducted all these years that wasn't? A musical genius like Frank Zappa didn't get it in his first year and didn't even get in while alive.

Yeah i'm not even a rock fan but Metallica is crazy... I'm not a huge fan of their singer, but the guitar riffs are awesome.. my boy has sampled em like 20 times!  DMC def deserves recognition, too - they're getting interviewed about it, too sometime on this fuse show: http://fuse.tv/ontv/shows/rock-hall/ (http://fuse.tv/ontv/shows/rock-hall/)  i didn't even know the Rock Hall of Fame switched from network to network, and says they're with fuse now: http://www.moderndrummer.com/viewfullnews/300001385/FUSE%20TV%20to%20air%20the%20Rock%20and%20Roll%20Hall%20of%20Fame%20Ceremony (http://www.moderndrummer.com/viewfullnews/300001385/FUSE%20TV%20to%20air%20the%20Rock%20and%20Roll%20Hall%20of%20Fame%20Ceremony)

Most of them haven't influenced rock....at least not in a direct sense.   They've influenced music and culture but not Rock.  Run DMC and grandmaster flash had a direct influence.    The reason Wayne COULD be considered is his recent attempts could have an influence - depends on how successful it is.

Did anyone watch the ceremony over the weekend? I really liked that they had Eminem presenting them. His speech was better than I thought it was going to be...he's actually a really good speaker. Plus it was such a great moment when Grandmaster J's  mother and family came out....

Yea I agree about the speech...I think Eminem is definitely going to be inducted someday, that's why they asked him to present. Fuse is going to air the show again this Saturday if any of ya'll missed it. It's def worth watching...
