The Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this week and the legendary California Funk band War is pissed. Know why? Because if it wasn’t for bands like War there wouldn’t be no Beastie Boys mane.
Here’s what War’s Howard Scott had to say:
“We were cranking out gold records when they were still in diapers. How could the Beastie Boys get in before us when they sampled War’s music on their first album?! I’ll eat their platinum records! Felt like I was kicked in the back of my britches.”
The industry has been disrespecting black musicians from day one — and guess what? The racist dudes over at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would like for us all to pick on the Beastie Boys for their mistake. Don’t believe me? Ask the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chairman. William W. Rowley.
Is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even relevant?
