When is someone going to make an actual Hip Hop Hall of Fame?
 

The Bronx needs this.

You could do it like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where you become eligible 25 years after your first album drops. Keep the classes small, maybe three rappers/groups per class. Start it with Kool Herc (the originator), Run-DMC (the first great group) and Melle Mel (the first GOAT).

Could bail out some of those broke old rappers by buying some memorabilia from them, like Grandmaster Flash's Kangol or some shit. Tell me a rap museum wouldn't be sick.

Ok done.

I've made it.

just call it the rapper graveyard

Kool G Rap and Kool Keith would be eligible, and they both still have albums dropping now. Rakim was just on something recently, too.

Grandmaster Flash

EPMD

First class: Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (which includes Melle Mel), Run-DMC

Second class: Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Afrika Bambaataa

Third class: Kurtis Blow, N.W.A., Beastie Boys

Scarface aka ghetto boys and ugk

Geto Boys probably get in on the fifth class or sometime like that. Tell me this shit wouldn't be sick, though. Museum in the South Bronx. Turn the induction ceremony into a fucking cookout/block party.

X-Men First Class: A movie made in 2011.

R.I.P. Roc Raida, but I don't think they make the cut.






(See what I did there? They can't make the cut, even though they're DJs?)

Didnt vh1 do this?

An they have the other rappers do covers of their songs.....wat were those awards?

Shit was ill

There isn't a building or anything, though. I'm talking about Cooperstown for hip hop.

The hall of shame for rap would trump that shit.

Lil b
Souljay boy
Wale
Rick ross
Lil Wayne
Vanilla Ice


All first ballad entries.

But to the op

Redman

wtf @ Rick Rozay

Is there a rock hall of fame?

Yeah, and they've put a few rap groups in: Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, N.W.A.

But we need our own shit.

we seen it, j cole


yo Jigga & Nas gotta be somewhere on this list, Rakim as well. Also, A Tribe Called Quest & the Wu

fuck that 25 yrs shit

Who would decide who goes in?

You can't just let everyone in right away or no one's going to keep coming back when you've got a class like Jeru the Damaja, Mykah 9 and Juelz Santana. You have to have hard-hitters coming through, so you space them out.
