Consequence Goes Off About A Tribe Called Quest Not Getting Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

We shared the news yesterday that Missy Elliott was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, being the first female rapper to receive the honor.

A Tribe Called Quest was also nominated for induction but didn't get in. It's a decision that Q-Tip's cousin Consequence went off about on video.

“I’m going in everybody’s faces to make sure Hip-Hop remembers who’s getting snubbed,” said Cons. “This is the family tree … This the tree that brought you G.O.O.D. Music. This the tree that allowed Common Sense to be Common. This is the right hand mans of De La Soul. Stop me when I’m lying ... We gonna stop putting disrespect on their names. We’re not going to do that ... On the political side, what I ain’t really feeling is we gotta explain 0 for two?”

He also vented in the caption of his post.

“The ‘concentrated push’ is based on maneuvering between politics and popularity NOT the value or merit of the musical catalogue and/or its compositions,"wrote Consequence. "I feel no anger or venom towards the @rockhall but I do think a conversation is needed at this point because of the domino effect of perception."

Do you think Tribe was unfairly snubbed?
