That's really cool

[liberty_a320]

Wow, good find. I'll mark my calendar for that.

But wait, the Beasties are performing, not amongst the honorees? Just checking...

... who knows.. maybe next year.. it would be great.. but who would perform one of their songs... would they go to a white act by default, or try to broaden their scope a bit? (flavor flav, xzibit, outkast)

I'm a tad too lazy to check the article, when is this show going to air?

I'm really looking forward to this, a whole lot. Great inductees list, great performing line up, and awesome concept.

I just hope they play Open Letter To NYC. That'd fucking RULE.

[gratitude]

are you kidding? chic, sugarhill gang... it's gonna be freaking triple trouble. i sense a theme. although i'd like them to perform something else. knowing vh-1/mtv it will probably be a whole 1/2 hr. broadcast too. :rolleyes:

[Hypestyle]

hmm....

[hotchedder]

That is so old school. They should all get together and do Rappers Delight........or something.
