Eric B & Rakim Set For Hall of Fame

The Long Island Music Hall Of Fame is set to induct Eric B & Rakim, November 16th. The legendary rap group will be joining the ranks of past inductees like Public Enemy, Billy Joel, Joan Jett, Alec Baldwin, LL Cool J, Paul Scaeffer and Grandmaster Flash.
In light of the great news, I reached out to hip hop rap mogul Russell Simmons to ask him his thoughts on the matter. Simmons said:

“Eric B is one of the coolest guys…everybody wanted to be like Eric…. him and Flash were the coolest DJ’s ever. As for Rakim he changed the way how people rap they all rhyme like Rakim today he represented the Gods. I’ll like to congratulate Eric & Rakim on being inducted.”

Eric B & Rakim will be on the ballot for next year’s candidates to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
