The internet is of course, pissed off, ’cause the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gave another rap artist a nomination when it is not rock. Yes, it’s true, rap isn’t really rock…but how do these rap artists like Run DMC and LL Cool J are making the Hall of Fame?

First read this:

Then read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LL_Cool_J

So how does LL Cool J get a nomination?

Well according to his wikipedia history, LL Cool was a disc jockey when he first started out in his career.

Reading the induction process on how they nominate artists, they also nominate “disc jockeys”.

So any rap artist that is a disc jockey and if they have a first hit single for 25 years, they are eligible for a nomination.

I guess that’s how Run-DMC made it in ’cause they were disc jockeys too.

So before you start slamming the Hall of Fame because of the rap music being inducted, I’d suggest you do your research. This just shows that people are uneducated with music since they are angry at the Hall of Fame for having a variety of genres. Remember, all genres is the roots of rock n’ roll.
