Black & Blonde

Hall of Fame

Episode 80

Two amazing humans navigate the grey as they discuss the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. On his first opportunity on the ballot, Eminem gets the nod. Rolling Stone wrote an article questioning the role race might play in this particular induction - Eminem being a white man in a genre largely dominated by people of color. We try to dissect this conversation, as it does pertain to race. The people who vote for the hall of fame and the structures in place are systemically white, so what does that mean in this case? It's a messy conversation with no clear answer, but certainly an important conversation to have.
