Why not? (just out of interest)

I thought he did a good job of it tbh, he is clearly a massive fan and that showed with what he said about them, and their influence.

I think he did a good job out of it too, but you shouldn't just get someone who is a massive fan of Run DMC to induct them, it should have been someone who is/was connected with them during their career, it makes it more special for Run DMC.

It would have much more of an iconic music moment if it was someone like The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J or my pic, Aerosmith who inducted them.

Just like when Eminem ends up getting inducted in some 10 odd years, I'd rather its someone like Dr. Dre or 50 Cent to induct him, rather whoever maybe the best MC at the time. Its more special that way.

This is a cool thread

One of my favourite hip-hop photos. You have a classic hip-hop backdrop, you get an appreciation of the origins in style/clothing and what rap did for thee breakdown of race issues. Looks so natural as well (I like the black and white one best)

Nas popped Beyonce a long time before Jay did.

Carmen Bryan was the one who broke it.
