LL Cool J is a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
September 29th, 2010 - 8:03 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattSep 29 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The few lucky musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were publicized in this week and surprisingly two hip hop musicians got onto the nominees list.
The Beastie Boys who are known all over the world for their punk musical performances as well as LL Cool J made the list of those to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. Other 13 acts such as Rock music specialist Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond are also on the nominee list.
It will now be up to 500 voters to choose who gets the honor of induction into the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. LL Cool J and the Beasties have been nominated previously but didn’t get enough votes to be inducted.
Only musicians and music groups who have released a track at least 25 years before the induction year can be considered for nomination according to the Hall’s regulations.
Traditionally, hip-hop hasn’t gotten enough recognition in the hall since it only became popular around the early 1980s. Only Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five have been inducted up till now.
The induction ceremony will be held at New York’s Waldorf Astoria in March next year.
