[The Lonious Monk]

They all deserve it. All of them have been important to "urban" radio at some point or another.

Donnie Simpson the OG

 

[5 Grand]

They need to give props to the hip Hop DJs like Mr Magic, Red Alert, Lady B, Greg Mack, also Funkmaster Flex.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

I could see Flex getting the nod at some point, other probably not. I could be wrong, but usually this honor only goes to people that impact the radio on a wider level. Most of those people you named were important to Hip Hop growing to a crossover success, but weren't actually crossover successes themselves. Donnie, Sway, and TBC are known in and outside of the circles they originally catered to. Angie is kinda iffy.

 

[Nobody]

Top 3 (not 1 or 2) will be there one day

I def think Sway is getting because his category has listener voting as well...

they were talking about it on his show this morning and the voting site crashed casue so many people were trying to vote for him

go vote for him btw ---> www.radiovote.com (you can vote multiple times just use different email addys)

all other categories are picked by an industry panel...so we will see...

I think out of those Sway and Donnie are shoe-ins, BC has really good chance, Angie is 50/50

[Nobody]

This is why we got e-beef now, quit being disrespectful

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Russ Parr better be next after Donnie Simpson

 

[Maza Yanga]

It be better for them if they all pulled their money and created their own platform to own and do what they've been doing. No white bosses so they can take no losses.

Donnie Simpson and anybody else that work for Radio One don't have a white boss.

A - D — Radio Hall Of Fame

I see Tom Joyner has been in there for awhile; Rush Limbaugh, Larry King, and of course the GOAT, Howard Stern.

Sway is the only one nominated the fans can vote for. The rest are voted in by a panel.
