I just got news that Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five will be inducted into this years Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Flash and the Furious Five are hip-hop icons if you dont know! They are responsible for hits like "White Lines" and the platinum selling "The Message". They will be the first hip-hop group to be inducted. this is truly a big step for the hip-hop culture. After being rejected for entry the past two years, I guess the "Big Wigs" are becoming more open-minded, or they were smoking some Grade-A during the selection process. But at the end of the day its just another dope accolade for hip-hop royalty. Some other inductees worth mentioning are R.E.M and the Ronnettes. Sesame streets "Bert and Ernie" flipped the melody to a Ronnettes song titled "Be My Baby" and changed it into a song about Berts blanket:) Its funny as hell to this day!
