Does hip-hop belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? As a rock guitarist who played in a hip-hop group, I know the line separating them is artificial. Hip-hop inherited the true attitude of rock.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea.

It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

SCROLL
David Rogers

Once upon a time
scrolls were round
Nouns that rolled
carried sacred narrative
to the future
To scroll is now a verb
to call the court jester
commercial clown
one palimpsest after another
on infinite electric parchment
Come
Let us scroll together

The Soviet regime could ration bread, censor newspapers, or build concrete walls, but it couldn't crush the need to dance. While politicians traded threats of annihilation, a visceral mutiny answered them on the airwaves. Dropping a needle onto a forbidden groove became a radical assertion of liberty.

Rock & roll was born from Black and white traditions colliding in the South. So why do some gatekeepers act shocked when hip-hop claims its rightful place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? From Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Little Richard and Bo Diddley to Run-D.M.C. and Public Enemy, this is a story of music as American as apple pie.
