My friend asked why they haven't honored 2 Live Crew.  If they honored 2 Live Crew, they would have the crowd p-poppin on a handstand, but I think a lot of people would boycott. But there's a hierarchy and chronology that (I hope) they are going based on for their honorees. Can't honor everyone that put out some live albums--that would mean rinkydinky artists would have a leg to stand on--but rather go based on their impact on the game. So if 2 Live Crew gets honored, it needs to be in the same show as people like Ghetto Boyz then I guess they would eventually honor the newer school artists like Big, Pac, and Jay Z (BLAH @ Jay Z  ). I wonder if they care about Queen Latifah. |
Well considering 2 Live Crew changed the game on what can be said on records and aired in videos, they should get a small clean part. I was overall disappointed with this year. And can we PLEASE GET ANOTHER DJ.... Kid Capri was not and still is not the ONLY DJ....
