Woot! N.W.A is being nominated into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Deets inside…
We’re eight days away from Christmas, but one legendary rap group just got an early Christmas present.
From Straight Outta Compton to straight to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, N.W.A. is set to be recognized by the music industry’s most esteemed museum. After being passed over THREE times, iconic rap group N.W.A. has finally landed a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That’s right! After first making their mark in the game 30 years ago, the pioneering rap group is finally getting their just due.
The rest of the 2016 class includes Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple and Steve Miller.
It appears the Straight Outta Compton film may have aided in them nabbing a spot. And we’re not mad.
Other YBFers who were up to be inducted, but didn’t make the final cut include Janet Jackson, Chaka Khan and the Spinners.
The 31st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will take place on Friday, April 8, 2016 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the second time. HBO will broadcast the ceremony in Spring 2016.
