Should rappers/hip-hop artists be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[Rocket Edge]

Ugh, not even all those inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame are musicians, let alone rock and roll musicians. The R&R HoF inducts singers, songwriters, instrumentalists, disc jockeys, producers and music journalists, among others.

James Brown was inducted, and he didn't perform rock music. He performed soul. Clearly, it doesn't matter what genre of music you perform, as long as you're a big name.

If that's the case, of course they should be allowed.
