Bernie Taupin received a Musical Excellence Award at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony Friday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame cofounder Jann Wenner received a dig for his imprudent remarks on why certain people were included in his recent book, The Masters.
While promoting his interview-collection book in September, Wenner said that its lack of diversity in interview selections was because female musicians were never “articulate enough on this intellectual level,” and that Black artists “just didn’t articulate at that level.” The resultant outrage saw Wenner apologize, but he was subsequently dropped from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation’s board of directors.

In a pre-recorded video shown before the performance, Page discussed hearing Link Wray for the first time: “‘What is this?’ In those days, there were many guitar instrumentals, but as a 14-year-old kid who could barely play the guitar, it really had an effect on me. The vigor and the strength and the power in it. And you know something else, it was fearless. It was just phenomenal. The essence of cool.”

She challenges me as a listener and expands my ears and my mind.”

The Rock Hall announced Rodrigo’s appearance today, posting on Instagram that the Guts singer “will perform with one of her heroes” at the induction ceremony this Friday.

“Olivia Rodrigo is coming in this year,” Sykes said in the interview. “Last year she got up and sang ‘You’re So Vain’ by Carly Simon. She’s going to play with Sheryl Crow this year. It’s this mutual admiration that connects the past with the present.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony will be streamed live for the first time in November, as Disney+ has picked up rights to let viewers see the event as it happens, a marked change from the years in which music fans had to wait weeks to see an edited broadcast. The Disney+ livestream will go out coast-to-coast from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m.. Et/5 Pt and be available for streaming on demand following the ceremony.
In 2022, the last year of HBO’s long-running contract with the Hall, the ceremony took place in Los Angeles Nov. 5 but was not available for viewing on HBO and HBO Max until an edited special premiered two weeks later, on Nov. 19 — actually a shorter gap than the three-week-or-greater delay of previous years. Real-time social media interest in recent years had made putting off the broadcast seem increasingly archaic, however much...

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has a new television home. The 2023 ceremony, which has aired on HBO since 1995, is moving to Disney+ and ABC as part of a new deal.
It will broadcast live coast-to-coast on Disney+ on Friday, November 3. Disney-owned linear network ABC will air a special with performances on January 1.
It marks the latest livestream for Disney+, which aired Elton John’s farewell concert from Dodger Stadium show earlier this year.
The move follows some criticism of the event after Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone magazine and co-founder of the Rock Hall, was ousted from the foundation after an interview that was considered racist and misogynistic by many. He later apologized.
This year’s inductees are Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners with other awards for DJ Kool Herc, Link Wray, Chaka Khan, Al Kooper,...

Hip-hop 50th anniversary celebrations are still underway, and some of the culture's most formative architects and torchbearers hit the stage at the 2023 MTV VMAs to honor it. At the end of the Sept. 12 event, hip-hop icons like LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and more performed a medley of songs like "Mama Said Knock You Out" and "The Message," respectively. Other tribute performances included Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh's "The Show," Nicki Minaj's "Itty Bitty Piggy" and "Red Ruby Da Sleeze," and Lil Wayne's "A Milli." Run-d.M.C. closed things out with the hit "Walk This Way."
Lil Wayne and Minaj were both nominated for awards at the night's show, including in the best hip-hop category, which the latter won with "Super Freaky Girl." Lil Wayne opened up the VMAs with his new single, "Kat Food," while host Minaj performed her track...

The genre, which turns 50 this month, has led to surprisingly few movies but the best include a black-and-white comedy and a starry documentary
Fifty years ago, on 11 August 1973, a young woman named Cindy Campbell hosted a small party in the Bronx. Her brother DJ Kool Herc was spinning some records, using two turntables to loop a breakbeat. That moment is said to have given birth to hip-hop. No one made a movie about it.
The landscape for hip-hop movies is starved, all things considered. We’re talking about a musical genre, currently celebrating its golden anniversary, where the aspirational stories of overcoming struggle and systemic oppression, building community and, eventually, dominating pop culture, are rarely told on the big screen.

There was a cipher going on outside the Hip-Hop 50 Live show at Yankee Stadium. One woman took the mic, intently closing her eyes while focusing on her next bar. As I walked away, she rhymed an improvisational derivative of recuperate, before spitting “that’s not even a word, I just be sayin’ shit.” The line set an apropos tone for the day. Hip-hop was bore out of rule-shirking and boundless imagination — and it made its way to “the house that Ruth built” to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Returning to hip-hop’s birthplace, classic rappers who pioneered the sound — as well as those who have proudly carried the rap torch — joined forces to honor the genre’s 50th birthday and celebrate its historic and global impact on pop culture.
It was only fitting that a venue as iconic as Bronx’s Yankee Stadium became the home for the eight-hour celebration, which included three dozen performers and nearly 50,000 audience members.
The universal love for rap was at the center of the night, and rappers like Nas and Snoop Dogg owned the night while also honoring those who came before them.
During his set, Nas brought out hip-hop founding father DJ Kool Herc and told the crowd: “This is our love. This is our bloodline.” Herc, 68, earned a standing ovation and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Kool G Rap also appeared onstage alongside Nas,...

Hip-hop Was Born In The Bronx In the summer of 1973. To celebrate the music’s 50th anniversary, “Rolling Stone” will be publishing a series of features, historical pieces, op-eds, and lists throughout this year.
Fifty years on, the details of that historic night in the Bronx — the night everyone now says gave birth to hip-hop — still elude DJ Kool Herc, the man at its center that evening. “I remember the equipment, the turntables,” he says in an accent that still retains traces of his upbringing in Jamaica. “We weren’t a band.

There are a lot of firsts associated with Mc Sha-Rock, hip-hop's "mother of the mic." The Bronx, NY, native is the first female Mc in hip-hop history and the first to sign a record deal; the first woman to battle rap; and she was among the first to spit hip-hop rhymes on national television (appearing on "Saturday Night Live" in 1981 when she was pregnant with her first child). The original member of Funky 4, which later became the Funky 4 + 1, didn't just contribute to the history of women in hip-hop - she's the blueprint.
Despite her pioneering efforts in the '70s, Sha-Rock, born Sharon Green, has hardly been given her just due as a hip-hop trailblazer. The "That's the Joint" rapper also says she was never properly compensated for her music in her '80s heyday, as she, along with other hip-hop pioneers, later sued her former label Sugar Hill Records...

Editors’ Note: This interview is the first in a series commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop on August 11
“I mean, there were people who used to look at us at that time and say, ‘Where is the band?’” recalls LL Cool J of hip-hop’s early years and the reaction audiences would have.
As the genre hits its 50th birthday on August 11, no one is asking where the band is anymore. The culture that has emerged out of what Kool Herc was doing that night in 1973 in the rec room of 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in the West Bronx is the most popular musical genre on the planet.
One of the first mainstream stars of hip-hop, LL Cool J himself has come a long way from dropping his “I Need a Beat” single back in 1984. A multi-Grammy winner, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and the first rapper to receive a Kennedy Center Honor,...

Hip-hop found me before I even knew what it was. I was about 4 years old when I first heard Lauryn Hill spitting rhymes on The Fugees's "The Score" and "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Although I was too young then to understand the meaning behind her raps, I knew Hill's lyrics were unlike anything I'd ever heard from a woman. They were strong, confident, honest. My young, curious mind wanted to hear more.
In the following years, I discovered more femcees like Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, and Queen Latifah, who rapped unapologetically about their power - whether they were embracing their sexual prowess through "pussy rap," bragging about being "super duper fly," or demanding respect and "U.N.I.T.Y." Their bold and brave efforts showed me all the ways women could take up space in hip-hop, even amid rampant sexism and misogyny. In my eyes, they were hip-hop queens who fought valiantly...
