Jay-Z To Induct Flash Into Rock Hall Of Fame

Monday, March 5, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Jay-ZJay-Z will be inducting Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five into this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, following previous years when rap artists criticized the ceremony for overlooking the genre.

As the first rap act to be honored in the Hall, the group joins fellow inductees R.E.M., Van Halen, Patti Smith, and the Ronettes.

Flash, 49, is credited for being one of the first DJs to blend, mix, and cut vinyl records – a technique which DJ Grand Wizard Theodore later developed into what is now known as scratching.

The ceremony will be held on March 12 in New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and air live on VH1.

Maybe one day there will be a hiphop hall of fame. I vote notorious b.i.g, tupac, and jay-z to be the first inductees. Anybody else can think of an artist to be inducted?

Damn, stop hatin on sean carter, mr. G unit. Jay doin his thing. Comparing 50 cent to jay-z is an insult. Sean carter is paperchasing, try to learn something from that dude.

G-unit shut the fu*k up caz jay is better than 50 n that is a fu*king fact u dumb co*kblocker. 50 had to get shot at 9 times to become a rapper n jay ............ Well he didn't but he still is one hard rapper n 50 just a biter
Posted by kareem Harvey
If 5 cent can't go against cam'ron what makes him think he can against jay-z yah icalled 50 cent 5 cent because he produce 5% of the fu*king work which is bad n + jay been in the game longer than 5 cent which makes jay come harder than that fake john cena. Ma$e need to be teaching 50 caz he still rap harder n come harder. Curtis that waz funny ha!!!

Harvey i know each of these n*ggas background. The business is entertainment, and what entertains the customer is the sight of blood. So why not base yo whole up coming on a miracle of gettting shot 9 times. Its smart. And jay-z couldnt control cam so what the F*ck u talking bout. 50 got all kind of deals and jay is still falling off just like the roc.
Posted by gunit-
Fam wat the F*ck or u saying 50 is paper chasing, from shoe deals, clothing lines, games, books, and this n*gga is even selling water. F*cking water and u telling me to learn about paperchasing. U a stupid n*gga fam.
Posted by gunit-
Man we all know g-unit need to shut the fu*k up but beside the point 5 cent need to retire n go back in the streets to get shot at in the mouth so i won't fu*king hear him talk anymore. So he should go back into the ghetto n pay his fu*king child support papers before he lose all his money for hoe's curtis!!!!
Posted by kareem Harvey
What u talking bout jay still falling off roc n*gga ur clothes fell off, the game fell off, n ur game which waz fu*king horrible but catn't lie movie waz lie n tha was bout it. Killa season was the sh*t, so 5 cent
Posted by kareem Harvey
Say what you want about jay but the man just sold rocawear for $204,000,000 cash. .contactmusic/news.nsf/art icle/jay-z%20to%20sell%20clothing%20comp any_1024198
Posted by rhb2007
I think it's a well deserved victory for hip hop.i think he put enough work in and he deserves it. He's done alot for the hip hop industry.
Posted by coolcat1972
Great for flash and the furious five, but run dmc need to get next and jay-z deserves a spot for just being jay for real, no one ever in the history of hip hop has accomplished what this dude has, no one can name a single other person. And tupac is the only one who has any other influence on the game, but he's gone so jay is king!
Posted by kingjames313
Harvey i can tell that u dont know wat u talkin about. How u gont be on jay-z nuts and cams nuts at the same time. Them two n*ggas hate each otha. Come at me again when u know wat u talkin about dummy. U shut the F*ck up
Posted by GUNIT-
How is jay falling off, and dude's album just sold crazy numbers. What are you talkin about man are still livin on the same planet as us or in a g-unit fantasy world. How is he falling off when he is the president of def jam, aka the president of mariah carey, rhianna, ludacris, rick ross, young jeezy, juelz santana..... I don't get it dude you really over there trippin on some pills or somethin. Not to mention the 40/40 club, nets, just sold rocawear for $204 million and he's still in control of the company, bout to start his own tv network, the list goes on and on. When 50 sells out madison square garden in 4 hours tell him to come holla then. This is true evidence that crack kills.

Yall thinking more about now. But take a more timeless thought. That would include dj jazzy jazz and the fresh prince, ll cool j both of them did it like few could in their time. Wu-tang (as a group very influencial), salt-n-pepper, dr dre and ice cube (nwa and both other unmatched accomplishments), a tribe called quest, eric b and rakim, epmd, de la soul, kool g. Rap, krs1, queen latifah, slick rick, fat boys, doug e. Fresh, curtis blow, scarface (ghetto boys), uncle luke (2 live crew) then maybe biz markie, masta p (as representing his label and he done it like no one has eva done it before him, also take notice he he affected rapper print advertising), busta rhymes (lons 91), heavy d, fat joe (showed up in 90 but 93 solo), 3rd base, too short, ice-t, and teddy riley ( guy and blackstreet i know he ain't a rapper but he deserves props from somewhere, he produced alot). I left alot off but i think this is a nice starter list.

Oh yeah my wife (well i wish) mc lyte is a maybe, as well as whodini, kool moe dee. Of course public enemy, beastie boys, run dmc, biggie, pac! maybe even outkast and e-40, eminim, nas, jay-z, snoop, and naughty by nature. Nuff said. Yout!
