They nominate a ******** rap group yet refuse to nominate Sabbath. Assholes.



What rap group did they nominate?
I think Public Enemy certainly deserves to be there. They were just as important and influential as most early punk bands.

Was Public Enemy the group? I can't remember. A rap group is a rap group, doesn't matter how influential they are, they're still not rock.

But artists like the Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, and Gorillaz have proven that rap and rock can coexist.

Rap and rock were both originally derived from blues.

Irrelevant. If a group doesn't combine the two, they still aren't rock, even if the two can be combined. And....how the ******** did rap come from blues? I'm interested in hearing this.

Alright... I gave it some thought, and this is how rap came from blues. Blues evolved into R&B (Bo Diddley, Ray Charles). Then R&B gave birth to (among other things) "Doo-wop" type music (The Drifters, The Coasters). One of the things that this evolved into was Funk (Prince, Isley Brothers). Then Funk became Disco-based (Beegees, The Village People). And from Disco came Rap. There you have it. pirate

Alright, if that's not a satisfactory answer, then erase the part about Disco, and go straight from Funk to Rap. I suppose it makes more sense that way.

I suppose funk could be seen as an influence to rap.

I hate it that Run-D.M.C got in. The only way they could be considered rock is because of the Walk This Way remix they did with Aerosmith.
