Including rap music in Rock's Hall of Fame!

Rap isn't music period !!!

I'm going to get hated for this, but I do think some rap music is ok, and some has been very influential for the good. I just think it should be in the "rap hall of fame".

This is known to be played at every NFL pregame, and even during stoppages.

I remember when that video came out, and although I hate to admit it I liked it, but Rap isn't music. Yes there are a few that are almost OK but the majority just plain sucks ( can't think of a better way to describe it )

I tried to listen to it.

Nope. Can't do it.

Buncha no-talent hacks! WTF is wrong with singing lyrics instead of yelling words and acting tough? Most of those lyrics don't even rhyme anyway.

/end rant

I have my asbestos underarmor on today, let the flaming commence! Ain't skeered!

RAP is syncopated Chant - rarely, very rarely, does the beat change..

The only thing that changes is the lyrics.

It has no business in the Rock and Roll HOF.

I can't stand rap (in the true sense of the word) and consider it more of a distorted poetry set to some sort of beat that some call "music" but that isn't any different from the beatnicks who chanted chaotic nonsense in the 60's while their drug induced partner patted on some drum while the "poet" rambled on about injustices. Sound familiar.

Having said that, however, there have been country and rock bands who performed some form of rap LONG before there was actually "rap". This is by no means my indorcement that ANY 'performer' we know of is deserving to make it to any hall of fame (other than the RAP hall of fame). It is much like having a Ms Black America but I have personally never seen or heard of a Ms White America.....YET.

You could possibly call rappers the offspring of those from the 50's and 60's who were of 'artistic self-expression' but they are not ROCK and never should be honored in the already soiled R H F!!!

So let's see here: I go multicultural in my music listening by enjoying Pitbull and Snoop Dogg you still get criticized for listening to sexist music. There's just no winning the "politically correct" game. Pitbull's music is much less original since going English language and buckling to politically correct pressure. What red blooded male wouldn't enjoy "scenery" like this?

NEITHER DOES "APPEASEMENT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. When I listen to music, it is for me and I don't care (ONE BIT) whether I'm being too racist, sexist or whatever leftist always try to throw in.......such as their usual; get-a-long / go-along with just about EVERYTHING. I'm glad we have lines....it is good to have lines (just wish we had some really tall, long lines topped with barbed wire to keep THEM on one side and US on the other.

Rap, as we know the true sense of the word, is CRAP and they can either get their own CRAP HALL or simply leave the ROCK HALL alone. I'm sure there are plenty of them to get it going and I'm all for THEM having their own MS MEX, Ms TEX/MEX, MS Left Coast, MS BLACK or MS RAP America Pageant. Ms MISSISSIPPI will always be the best so leave US to ours and THEIR's to THEM. Was that racist enough?! I hope so. I'm still bothered that the Cherokee do the same thing but at least we have our own President and Constitution. What do they have? Whiners, Complainers, Looters from my point of view.

No need to win. If someone else doesn't like your musical taste, or thinks the music is crap, who the hell cares? I'm sure some of their music is crap too! Different strokes for different folks. What some call crap makes others millions and millions listen and support it. To each their own!
