I say, PE, NWA, Dre, Tupac, Biggie and Eminem. Say you?

the Wu

Kriss Kross.

I don't think Wu has a shot in hell

Everyone of those acts has a shot of being inducted.

These are the years where hip-hop acts are gonna start dominating the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Last year, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five were inducted.

Early this year, RUN-DMC was inducted.

I think LL Cool J could get in next year.

So, you're really gonna start seeing Hip-Hop come in the Hall in a big way soon.

My personal hope is Trina.
(Just as long as she bring dat phat azz!!!)



Seriously, MC Lyte, Salt N Pepa, Nas. Those three definitely deserve it.

Looks like this will be by timeline..then look at the next Def Jam acts that blew up...LL Cool J,Beastie Boys,Public Enemy..first act outside of NY will be NWA..but that'll be years from now..

i think we need a hip hop hall of fame

Hmm, this is gonna be just like the late 80s and early 90s. Tryin' to seperate hip-hop from the mainstream (R&RHF = mainstream this time ...)

Hey, don't hate on Cleveland buddy. . But if they have one, it should be in the Bronx, point blank period.

Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five
Kurtis Blow

bboy87 said:

Flash is already in. They were the first Rap Act to get inducted last year. I'm not sure about Kurtis getting in, though.

DMC was the first act to get in

scriptgirl said:

Nope, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five were the First Hip-Hop Act to be inducted in the Hall of Fame last year in early '08.

Run-DMC was inducted early this year.

What about the Roots?

scriptgirl said:

The Roots are a snore fest.
Thee ONLY consideration from me would be KRS-1, maybe PE, Outkast and Run DMC.

i would agree on your list except to remove Outkast and include The Beastie Boys

Milty said:

....decent choice.

TonyVanDam said:

These seem most likely. Rock audience crossover appeal seems to be a big part of being inducted.

Beastie Boys are a shoo-in. What year will they be eligible in?

Percy Miller
Kwame
Kin N Play

Joeski Love
Word Of Mouth
Cutmaster D.C.
