UPDATE: Tuesday, Apr. 12 (10:28 a.m. ET) – The war of words between Ice Cube and Gene Simmons continues, with the N.W.A. rapper and the KISS rocker taking to Twitter to disagree on whether a rap group belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Cube fired back at Simmons after he tweeted: “Respectfully– let me know when @JimiHendrix gets into the hip hop hall of fame. Then you’ll have a point.”; Here’s the latest:

@genesimmons Who stole the soul? Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Chubby Checkers help invent Rock “n’ Roll. We invent it. Y’all reprint it. — Ice Cube (@icecube) April 11, 2016

Cube – I stand by my words. Respect NWA, but when Led Zep gets into Rap Hall of Fame, I will agree with your point. https://t.co/CQUoJwhZJb — Gene Simmons (@genesimmons) April 11, 2016

KISS rocker Gene Simmons has made no secret of his disdain for rap, and recently criticized the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s decision to induct groundbreaking rap group N.W.A. at this year’s ceremony.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Simmons predicted that rap would soon die out, and he’ll be the first one to dance on its grave.

“Rap will die. Next year, 10 years from now, at some point, and then something else will come along,”; he told the mag. “And all that is good and healthy. I am looking forward to the death of rap. I’m looking forward to music coming back to lyrics and melody, instead of just talking. A song, as far as I’m concerned, is by definition lyric and melody, or just melody.”;

Simmons’ comments were referenced by N.W.A. founding member Ice Cube during yesterday’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and, to put it mildly, he disagrees.

“The question is, “Are we rock “n’ roll?'”; Ice Cube asked the crowd during the ceremony, reports Blabbermouth. “And I say — you g*ddamn right we rock “n’ roll.”;

He continued: “Rock “n’ roll is not an instrument. It’s not even a style of music. It’s a spirit that’s been going on since the blues, jazz, bebop, soul, rock “n’ roll, R&B, heavy metal, punk rock, and yes, hip-hop. Rock “n’ roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and life. That is rock “n’ roll and that is us.”;”

In case anyone wasn’t clear to whom Cube’s comments were directed, fellow N.W.A. member MC Ren added: “Mr. Gene Simmons, hip-hop is here forever! Get used to it!”; Leave it to Simmons to have the last word, for now, when he answered Cube in a cheeky tweet:

Respectfully– let me know when @JimiHendrix gets into the hip hop hall of fame. Then youll have a point. @icecube https://t.co/BRuU8t5vYe — Gene Simmons (@genesimmons) April 9, 2016
