Artist Tutorial

What rap artists would you like to see inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

They don't have to be old rap artists. What artists now would you like to see inducted later? RHH2: Who's the most influential rap artist ever?

Public Comments

1. Public Enemy Rakim KRS One Kool Keith De La Soul NWA A Tribe Called Quest 2pac Wu Tang Clan Outkast All very influential in their own ways. RHH2: Rakim. He changed how people rapped. Before him every rapper would just shout their lyrics in a nursey-rhyme style. Like Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Furious Five, etc.
2. none, they would have to make a rap hall of fame
3. Erm none hopefully. See Rocks a fragmentation of 12 bar blues and heavily guitar orientated. It has nothing to do with rap which is a talentless ancestor of soul and even disco mixed with street to an extent. No Rock fan takes the hall that seriously anyway because its a commercial joke but the inclusion of rap artists only serves for further ridicule. Theres an influential rap " entertainer " ?
4. Public Enemy is the obvious answer but Spoonie Gee and Kool Herc lol
5. Wu ATCQ NWA Public Enemy Rakim Nas Big Daddy Kane RHH2: I agree with the other answer that it has to be Rakim. He is the father of the lyrical rap.
6. Fugees!!!!!!
