Gene Simmons considera ca rapperii nu au ce cauta in 'Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame'


De cand cunoscutul grup N.W.A. a fost inclus in Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Gene Simmons a simtit ca s-a produs o nedreptate extrem de mare si ca grupul nu merita o asemenea onoare deoarece genurile muzicale sunt foarte diferite.

I stand by my words. Respect NWA, but when Led Zep gets into Rap Hall of Fame, I will agree with your point.

"It's really back-room politics, like Boss Tweed. A few people decide what's in and what's not. And the masses just scratch their heads. You've got Grandmaster Flash in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? RUN-D.M.C. in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? You're killing me! That doesn't mean those aren't good artists. But they don't play guitar. They sample and they talk. Not even sing!"

Intr-un interviu acordat revistei The Rolling Stone, MC Ren (N.W.A.) a declarat ca Gene Simmons este un tip arogant si tinut neaparat sa-l "puna la punct":

"It's like, how he's looking at us, how he know that people before him in rock and roll don't look at him like that? How he know THE BEATLES or Muddy Waters, if he was still around, don't look at him as a gimmick? Who is he to say anything if he's wearing makeup and heels and sticking out his tongue every 10 seconds of his show? Come on, man, that's a gimmick."

"What if Paul McCartney said, 'You shouldn't be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?' What if THE ROLLING STONES said, 'Y'all shouldn't be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame,' how would he feel then? He would look stupid. If you asked around, and you asked enough rock and roll greats, them dudes is a joke."

"He's probably so salty because hip-hop groups got in before he did, like RUN-DMC, BEASTIE BOYS, GRANDMASTER FLASH and the FURIOUS FIVE and PUBLIC ENEMY. I think he was mad they got in before he did, but that's what it is. And, Im'ma tell you this right now, you can quote this: 'f**k Tha Police' is way more rock and roll than 'I want to rock and roll all night and party every day.' Come on, man."

Gene Simmons (Kiss) a marturisit ca asteapta cu nerabdare moartea rap-ului:

"Rap will die. Next year, ten years from now, at some point, and then something else will come along, And all that is good and healthy. I am looking forward to the death of rap. I'm looking forward to music coming back to lyrics and melody, instead of just talking. A song, as far as I'm concerned, is by definition lyric and melody, or just melody."
