| I got major beef with the way this list looks'. For the simple fact. The Beastie Boys, Nas, and KRS-ONE not being in the top 10 is insane. The fact that NWA is not ahead of Wu-Tang is absurd. I love the Wu. But if wasn't for NWA, Public Enemy, Run Dmc, and The Beastie Boys'. No Wu. Dre cannot hold his own weight on an album without a prodigy like Snoop or Eminem. That is the reason why his two Chronic albums' even sold half as much as they did. Whoever compiled this list does not know a boombox from a beatbox. | |

| I'mma put it to ya like this. Ya have Real School. Then ya have Fool School. 86 the old school and new school. Cuzz to tell it. Much of the game today is polluted.A whole lotta Rah, Rah with no substance. Alotta hooks'. Real school are the mc's, groups', and so forth that have been innovative. Fool school are the sucka's nowadays' that say two seconds' of rhymes'. Then let the hook make 'em. I may piss some people off. I am not saying at this point in time. In the future, when it comes to 50 Cent. Here you have a guy who attacks' mc's for usin a certain formula of rhyme. Then once he gets' people to turn on the other mc's. He releases' songs' of similar nature. That he was dissin brotha man fo'. There needs' to be analysis of longevity, potency of rhyme and vocal styling, social influence,artistry. Do not make it mainstream. That is what is wrong with with the Hip Pop culture nowadays'. Cuzz in this day and age anybody can be Hip Pop. The suburban white kid is Hip Pop. I'm like the Game. Bring back rap music. The music of struggle and buckin the system. Flippin' off Uncle Sam, Paintin the White House black, 2 Live Crew gettin arrested. Bring back REAL SCHOOL AND REAL MC'S. NOT THIS CORPORATE BACKED, CROSSIN OVER TO MAINSTREAM. IN REAL RAP MUSIC CROSSIN OVER IS PUNISHABLE BY EXILE. | |

| I'm not sure if it fits the mold that most hip-hop fans are accustomed to, but Maya's albums will be hugely influential five months from now & fifty years from now. Let's hope her "retirement" is just a bit of attention seeking nonsense as is custom for a lot of Hip Hop artists. | |

| Too bad VH1 is centered in the United States as it limits the chances of Mike Skinner being rewarded his just dues. He's certainly not helping his case with most of his last two records. | |

| After looking at the list of the top 50 hip hop artists,I also feel Gang Starr, MC Hammer, Master P deserve a nod at Hip Hop Honors. All 3 have extensive catalogs, have been in the game for some time and have gravelly made an impact on hip hop. Other groups are 3rd Bass and Nice N Smooth who I am undecided on. Fugees made an impact, but they don't have a catalog unless you do the Fugees, Wyclef, Lauren Hill and Pras as seperate intities. | |

| About the Induction Criteria, Kevin wrote: | |
| While looking at the previous Hip Hop Honors, I have come to the conclusion about how the honorees are picked: many of them were in the game for awhile. They have made an impact on hip hop, have had several hits and are now either retired or touring doing material that made them legends. After I saw the last HHH, I started thinking about several artist that deserve the honor such as Biz Markie, EMPD, Heavy D and the boyz, Fat Boys, Kool Moe Dee, Dr. Dre, the movie Krush Groove, tribute to Rick James and/or James Brown, Kurtis Blow, Marley Marl (Juice Crew) and Diddy. Others that I thought of were Eminem, Jay Z, Nas, Outkast, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Common and Busta Rhymes. Yes these are very well deserving artists, but like I said earlier a lot of the previous honorees aren't putting out any new material. So that does question EPMD. They are one of the all time hip hop duos, up there with Run DMC, but at the present time they have a CD coming out in October. So I guess that eliminates them for the time being. Just like Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Well deserving hip hop group, but Will Smith is too big to come to the HHH. So that's my take coming from an old school hip hop head. | |

| there must be a criteria now. it is very disrespectful hip hop it self not to have one and just wing it. it's not done in this way with with anything that has a hall or fame. you may call it honors. but its the hall of fame. you'll started out being disrespectful so it must stop now. let me give you some examples: Rakim without Eric B, Eazy E. without N.W.A. or before them and Dr. Dre. missy before Queen. Cypress Hill period. No EPMD but De La Soul. Need i say more. well let me just side note. there is a difference between Hip Hop and Rap. but when it comes to the Honors/Hall of Fame. they must be linked together. i disagree that everyone from 1980-1995 should get in. i understand they are the prime years but all because you played the game and got on the field don't make you a hall of famer. we should take a page from Rock and Rolls criteria and modify it to hip hop. mainly there 25yr waiting list. does one hot song get you in. if soo. Rob Base it takes 2 was bigger and ran longer on the air waves longer than naughty by natures OPP. thats why i think they should not be in. well just not yet. but i would like to say. thanks for the show. its been 5yrs. its time or improvement. At the rate you're going. everyone that made a record would be in the hall of fame. | |

| About the Induction Criteria, Denise wrote: | |
| The Pioneers should all be honored before anybody else (1980s-1995). Why Missy Elliott was honored before Queen Latifah, I'll never know. Missy is awesome in her own right, but it is not her time. There were plenty of women that contributed to rap in some why. You should have at least 1 female honoree each year. Including films, graffiti artists, and breakdancers and even fashion would be a wonderful touch to each show, something that reflects the era. I don't know why you've missed some great people so far; Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Boogie Down Production, Heavy D and the Boys, just to name a few. All the people that came prior to 1999 should not be honored no matter how great their music has been or how popular they are. They still have a long way to go in my opinion as being considered honorable. If you needed to make the shows stretch then cut down your number of honorees and give more details and biographical performances to honor each person. Using dance and that particular person/groups music, the clothing from their time period, a history of what was going on in the world at that time. At the end have the honoree's perform some of their songs and you could easily have a 1.5 to 2 hr long show that was informational and entertaining for the ones who were there and the youngsters who weren't. | |

| About Queen Latifah, Denise wrote: | |
| Will somebody PLEASE tell me WHY in the HE** the Queen has NOT been honored? She should have been one of the 1st one's right along with MC Lyte, and way before Missy Elliott. I love Missy, but it is not her time. The Pioneers should all be honored before anybody else, no matter what their contributions to music have been. The 1st 10 shows should be for the pioneers (1980s-1995) including movies from that time as well. I don't know who's doing the picking each year, but they need to go over the entire list again, because they are missing some great people. Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Boogie Down Production, Heavy D and the Boys, just to name a few. Come on people, you need to rethink this process. Please don't tell me you are choosing your honorees by the mere voting results of possible youngster obviously too young to remember or appreciate where rap started and the artist that paved the way for the likes of Tweet, TI, Chingy, and Kanye. | |

| Yes Ice Cube and Eazy-E have already been honored, but it was NWA that needs to be honored as a whole. NWA like Public Enemy took a stand and fired back at the establishment. NWA however was blunt, raw and in your face. They also blazed the path for all other gangstas in todays music. There was no way you could miss their message. No other group has been contacted directly by the FBI for their lyrics. For that ACCOMPLISHMENT alone, NWA is overdue for their props as the pioneers of gangsta rap!! | |
