I'm not talking about the sociological aspect of it. But whatever, looks like they'll pass anyways.

Well originally I said that because they were more important socially than musically. Good for them though, getting in. I have no problem with it if the majority of voters feel that way.

I'm sorry but they were much more important musically...They weren't popular enough to be socially important. I'm not sure you understand their huge musical impact.

Do enlighten me sir...

Find me a Hip Hop group before 1987 that's anywhere near as heavy.

Hell yes, they've always ed over NWA for the record.

That would be a yesum. For being one of the few hip-hop groups actually worth listening to. They were also the best.

I find Hip-hop to be a very unimaginative, unengaging genre of music. I can definately see how culturally important it is, but that doesn't change my personal feelings about it in the slightest.

Then ask yourself if you should really be voting to keep a group out of the hall of fame based on your genre preference? If you don't like it, fine, but don't call it unimaginative, I don't want to drag this thread into yet another Hip Hop argument.

Well regardless of my vote, I'm pretty sure these guys will get nominated.
