R.A. The Rugged Man Responds To Gene Simmons’ Recent “Hall Of Fame” Comments

    R.A. The Rugged Man has responded to recent comments made by KISS’ Gene Simmons. 

    “You’ve got Grandmaster Flash in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?” Simmons recently said. “Run-DMC in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? You’re killing me. That doesn’t mean those aren’t good artists. But they don’t play guitar. They sample and they talk. Not even sing.”

    Upon hearing about these remarks, R.A. posted a Twitter update regarding the KISS frontman.

    “Gene Simmons from KISS says Grandmaster Flash & RUN DMC dont belong in Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. That make-up wearing clown can suck a dick,” Rugged Man said in the Twitter post. 

    Following this, Rugged Man also posted a message to Gene Simmons. “Yo! this is a good look. You should try this more often,” R.A. said in the Twitter post, which also included a link to a scene from the film Wanted: Dead or Alive, where Simmons’ head explodes. 

    R.A. The Rugged Man also posted the following comment on his Facebook account: “RUN DMC’s biggest records had live Rock guitars and rock instrumentation on them. They also put Aerosmith back on the map. And Run DMC’s mix of the two genre’s unquestionably influenced future rockers like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, etc. Any one saying they dont belong are just clueless and ignorant.”

    1. I actually agree with Simmons, they are great songs but they should not be on the RHOF. they should make a Hip hop hall of fame for hip hop acts.
      RA is taking things to far. no need being disrespectful and curse.
      Thats one of the things hip hop acts do and thats why they dont take them seriously.

      1. White people don’t have any say with the rock and roll hall fame because hip hop is a son of r and b and rock music.

    2. “Shaq: Seeing that Rock N Roll started in the African American community, why is Gene Simmons apart of it?”

      1. No, you have it backwards, if he was the Lord Jamar of White People he would be saying Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash are guests in the music industry and especially in the Rock N Roll HOF

    3. Good thing the artist are selected by well rounded musical scholars, not some salty attention starved has been from some faggot ass glam metal group.

    4. I don’t agree with Ra this time. Gene is right on this. If it’s such a big deal to hip hop then start a hip hop hall of fame, problem solved

    5. These are the kind of responses that make people think hip hop is childish. How about an intelligent response?

      1. Attach an actual identity to people via some social network and maybe you’d have a drastic change in the quality of dialogue.

    6. Start working from home! Great job for students, stay-at-home moms or anyone needing an extra income… You only need a computer and a reliable internet connection… Make $90 hourly and up to $12000 a month by following link at the bottom and signing up… You can have your first check by the end of this week……….http://x.co/44tZ6

    7. RA is in my top 5 of all time, maybe even top 3……so ill give him a pass for such a ridiculous statement

    8. That old jew has a right to be bitter. Kiss sold more albums than both those groups-and played their own instruments and sung.

    9. Forget the BS of whether or not they belong in the Rock Hall of Fame, I’m more concerned at what Simmons thinks of Hip-Hop music and how dismissive he is of it. Let him try rhyming and sampling and coming up with a top-notch musical production under Hip-Hop’s standards. F it, Kiss sucks.

      1. You don’t know what it means to be 60 and wearing leather tights
        You don’t know what it means to be a diva, so fuck all that fight for your rights
        I rock on stage, I rock and a roll
        I’m better than Little Richie, hey man, I got soul
        Groupies love me, but yet, their husbands hate me
        I got female accountants, and if you count them, they all want to date me
        I’ll set my guitar on fire like I’m Jimmy Hendrix
        I’m a Gemini too, and you don’t like it? You can suck both our dicks
        You’re fucking crazy if you think I can’t spit these bars
        I got a 30k square foot mansion and about 16 cars
        My son is a drug addict, another one is a faggot
        My daughter’s a whore, my wife had a kid and he’s labeled a bastard
        I can rap all day, I can rock all night
        I’ll run circles around your favorite rapper, all right?
        If I put out a rap album, I can do it, I’m 60 it’s still in me
        Afterwards I’ll light up a blunt and let it smoke like a chimney

    10. I think that point is what made Gene simmons wrong. If it wasn’t for the artists he mentioned. But we should have a hip hop hall of fame and r.a. should be in it.

      1. Wether r.a should be in a hall of fame or not is open for debate. But if there was a hip hop hall of fame he would be in it. He is legend. Probably more respected by true hip hop heads then eminem. At least he still makes hip hop unlike eminem.

    11. If you are hungarian, you are “white”, an EDOMITE, european, yes, those fake ass jews are not the true jews they are EDOMITES AMALYKITES, THE REAL REDSKINS

    12. why didn’t the nigga with the grenade try n take one of them with him he was dead no matter what………….who cares bout the rock hall of fame anyway

    13. A white person tryna call out other white person being that both these goons benefit from our culture. Somebody please go call Lord Jamar to shut this shit down.

    14. By “our culture” you are referring to hip hop i assume? LMAO. You think you somehow own some shit cuz u listen to it? Rugged has more hip hop in his hair follicle than six generations of your seed combined will have. Lord Jamar.. fuck outta here. The dude says somethin on a video blog and becomes Jesus? “This is our restroom, stay out of it”.. sound familiar? Someone call Buckshot to shut this dude down.

    15. I would like to say to gene Simmons that if you want to be technical then why the hell are kiss in the rock n roll hall of fame? It’s not Rock hall of fame.

      Chuck berry is rock n roll, little Richard is rock n roll, fats domino is rock n roll

      I love how rock musicians claim rock n roll like its there’s.

      If little Richard the king of rock n roll has no problem with hip hop being in the rock n roll hall of fame then neither do I.

    16. While I do agree with Gene Simmon’s earlier comments, no ones a bigger rock star than Rick Ross. His presence on stage is out of this world.
