Jay Z going in is a true joke! I got tired of him when he got P Whipped by the even more overrated & just as big ego'd Beyonce who both suffer from "Don't Think Their Sh!t Stinks". There are MANY more old-school hip-hop acts that deserve it (like LL Cool J that gets in this year) over him. |

I'm of the thinking that it's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so it should be pop and rock and no others. Disco is even fine but Crap is not rock. All it has in connection is the samples they use.
The Beastie Boys is about the only one that I didn't have a problem with because they use real instruments and are actually talented men.

I like some of Jay-Z's creations but put the guy in the CCCCrap Hall Of Fame if you want. Leave the Rock N Roll one to actual Rock N Rollers. Really like what you said about the very talented Beastie Boys who did more than sample others work, and put in the work themselves. It is notable than Jay-Z did get two votes in our poll! EDIT: Someone changed their vote LOL! |

There need to be more "Hall of Fames". There should be one for R-a-p/Soul/R&B, and maybe even one for Disco. There is one for Country, thank goodness, or we'd have many country singers in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, which would really bug some people (like me). Pop and Rock don't really go together that well either.
