NWA Calls Out Gene Simmons at 2016 Rock Hall Induction Ceremony
The tone of last night's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was celebratory — for the most part — but some of this year's inductees opted to use their platform to address some not-so-awesome points and deliver two hefty doses of real talk in particular.
When N.W.A. hit the podium to accept their honors at the Barclays Center last night, MC Ren took the opportunity to address a comment made by Gene Simmons. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the Kiss bassist said that he was "looking forward to the death of rap," a view largely unshared by music fans everywhere, including the Straighta Outta Compton icons. MC Ren was short and sweet with his response to Mr. Simmons: "I want to say to Mr. Gene Simmons, hip-hop is here forever — get used to it."
