I actauly see that coming. Its a shame tho.
On topic: I told you what I think about the Beasties, Its redicoulus to put any of them groups above them, since no one will ever change they game again like they did.
About the Clan: I dont see why they shouldnt get honored. Yeah, they dont to it as long as Tribe does. But see, they had a big impact. They made one of the probably best Hip Hop Albums ever. They made many other Albums, who all had quality. Some of the solo careers that came out of that group made albums that are hip hop milestones too. And with all the succes they never lost theyr touch too the undeground scene ether. RZA is one of the best producers ever, GZA is for shure one of the best writers to touch the mic, Ghostface shows his emotions like not many other Mc`s, Method Man just keeps flowing on every kind of beat you give to him.
See I love Tribe, JJFP, De La Soul etc, probably more than most of the clan stuff (JJFP ofcourse more) but I see why they chose the Clan above them..
That they chose Eazy abpove N.W.A., Dre, Ice Cube is probably just caus they wanted to honor another dead guy. It dont take no VH1 person to see that Ice Cube is a better Mc than Eazy. Its just caus they needet a dead guy. N.W.A. will get honored to, probably next time.
What I dont see is why the took Mc Lyte above Queen Latifah, but thats probably just me. And.. What about Masta Ace? He`s probably the most slept on Mc ever..
Oh, yeah.. What about Public Enemy?
