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

Certain · 08-13-2013, 05:37 PM

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.

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

Diode · 08-13-2013, 05:53 PM

EPMD

Certain · 08-13-2013, 05:55 PM

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

TYSON · 08-13-2013, 05:58 PM

Scarface aka ghetto boys and ugk

Certain · 08-13-2013, 06:00 PM

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.

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?)

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

Inno · 08-13-2013, 06:18 PM

The hall of shame for rap would trump that shit.

Lil b
Souljay boy
Wale
Rick ross

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.

Ghost1 · 08-13-2013, 06:36 PM

Who would decide who goes in?

Certain · 08-13-2013, 06:36 PM

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.
