The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee has unveiled its Class of 2019. Once again, LL Cool J didn’t make the cut. The Radio mastermind and Kennedy Center Honors recipient has been up for the honor five times but hasn’t managed to get past the nomination phase.
The famed Rock Hall, which is located in Cleveland, Ohio, has only inducted a handful of Hip Hop acts, including Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, N.W.A, Tupac Shakur and Run-DMC.
The Class of 2019 inductees include Janet Jackson, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, The Cure, Def Leppard, Roxy Music and the Zombies.
Along with LL and Kraftwerk, Devo, Todd Rundgren and John Prine, Rage Against the Machine, the 1970s funk band Rufus featuring Chaka Khan and the Detroit rock band MC5 were also rejected.
The 34th annual Rock Hall induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on March 29 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Pathetic. Should’ve been in long ago.
no disrespect to Pac but how did he get in before LL? You look at the list of the current hip hop artists that have been inducted and they have all had much longer storied careers than Pac, but yet LL hasn’t received the nod after 5 attempts….. sad
Again no disrespect to Pac!
Anything that has a bunch of white people as the main voters is going to be either rigged or just flat out audaciously bias. Point blank period
It is probably your upper lip you smell sucka.
How the beastie boys get in before cool j his first two albums had rock n roll samples all on it from rock the bells to go cut creator go for real besides run dmc and furious five everybody else look up to him in the rap game they playing the goat for real
LL dont worry. Rock the bells tell it all. You the shit dude
LL Cool J Should be there but it was the Beastie Boys who Found LL Cool J and Put Him On, Also Run DMC Found Beastie Boys and Put them On so soon LL Cool J should be Put On Soon I hope!
This is bullshit, lol should be there
Cool J? you don’t need those Hoe’s in Cleveland,Ohio to validate you! Your true fans know who you are!!!!
No validation required…but this is some fucked up sh*t right here.
Damn LL should def be in there
those fuckn ohio racists shouldve shown respect 2 Uncle L.
To Be Continue…….
HE’S NOT ROCK AND ROLL.
INVENT “THE HIP HOP HALL OF FAME” AND NOMINATE HIM FOR THAT!
Clearly LL needs a different marketing team. He is more worthy than any other hip hop artist to date, this is a travesty he is not in.
