GARYTALK.COM (12/19/2015) – Some rock and roll purists may take offense that a raw, wild, controversial, highly influential group from the Rap Genre has made its way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. NWA (N.W.A.) was, surprisingly, among the nominees eligible for voting this year. Their supporters apparently came from outside the fan voting ranks, because online voting finals showed NWA in 12th place, but, RockHall.com included NWA in the top 5 final inductees named just a few days ago. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, announced that Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Chicago, Steve Miller, and NWA, will be inducted into the RockHall at the New York ceremony in April, 2016.
