When life imitates art:

Gene Simmons says NWA in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is like Led Zep in Rap Hall of Fame

As the rap stars are inducted, NWA’s MC Ren tells the Kiss guitarist: ‘Hip-hop is here to stay. Get used to it’

Here's a funny twist on that. KISS were a joke to Rock n Roll acts of their era.

They were seen as one big gimmick act, who couldn't play, and embraced commercialism over art by agreeing to put their logos/likeness on anything for a dollar.

Unless I'm mistaken, it was a Black guitarist from a modern group who literally campaigned and lobbied for them to be in the Rock n Roll HoF.
He was a little kid during their peak, as were a long % of their fans. They were a real life cartoon act.

He worked so hard to get them in, that he was the one who inducted them when they finally got in

So, Gene Simmons, of all people making snobbish/gatekeeper comments about Rock music and honors is a complete joke.

"King of Rock" is one of my favorite songs of all-time and it represents everything that makes Run-D.M.C. so great.

Why would rappers call themselves the King of Rock? School me old heads
