I look forward to visiting an epicenter of Hip Hop memorabilia within this decade as it is long overdue. Let's truly honor these legends in the birth place of this culture. Why must we continue to hope that Cleveland finds space in their halls.

@DPerezmedia I agree wholeheartedly!!! Hip Hop needs a museum, and the pioneers need to coalesce to make it happen or someone who they don't like is gonna do it!

Most of todays rappers are NOT Hip Hop they are only rappers. I live the hip hop culture - I wasd a B Boy - I was a break dancer - I wrote grafitti - I rapped - hip Hop Rapped! not the garbage done today. I lived and felt the essence of the culture and I know what it is. I know the history and what the culture is about. There are very few rappers today that even know what true hip hop is - Nas, Jay-Z, Common are amongst the very few artist (that are still out) that really know what hip hop is.

KRS is an important link to the founding fathers of the culture. KRS is doing what he should be doing - no one else speaks out like he does about the culture and it's preservation. A Hip Hop citizen is one who 1. knows and accepts the history of hip hop AND 2. took or takes part in one of the elements of hip hop - rapping isn't hip hop but an element of hip hop - the sad part is you can be a rapper and be the furthest thing from hip hop thats where the confusion comes in.
