There is not rap hall of fame that I know of. There is a country hall of fame.nakedtwister wrote:I have no problem with LL Cool J. In fact I think he is a talented artist and actor. That being said, just change the name to The Rap and Roll Hall of Fame. No Boston, no Bad Co., no Rush, etc.. What a friggin' load of political BS. My opinion, Suck on it.
To me, it looks like the real marketing genius is the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. They saw an opening an embraced the rap artists, thus penetrating that market for sponsers, ads, etc.
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame should probably rename itself to:
**"General Music including rap but excluding country Hall of Fame"**
Until the distribution of rap inductees catches up with Rock inductees, I think you are going to see a disproportional amount of rap artists being inducted.
