"Between the Levees break and the Flick of the Switch guitar stab you could absolutely make a convincing argument for John Bonham and Angus Young as integral contributors to hip-hop history. Maybe youre just being a weirdo about all this Interestingly people get upset by opinions. Too badFact: Rock n Roll Jazz Blues & Hip Hop all had roots in black music. No question about that. My question however is when are Led Zeppelin & AC/DC being inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame Interestingly people get upset by opinions. Too badFact: Rock n Roll Jazz Blues & Hip Hop all had roots in black music."
