 Honored At The 2017 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 

BHR Hollywood Reports........After the recent announcement of his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2017, that couldn’t be truer for West Coast icon Tupac Shakur.

According to the organization’s official website, Pac is among the seven inductees for the acclaimed honor and was nominated in October.

He joined other illustrious names for the nominations, including Chaka Khan and Janet Jackson, after he reached eligibility for the induction, which requires that 25 years pass after an artist’s first musical release before being inaugurated.

Last year, N.W.A became the fifth hip-hop act to enter the Hall, following Grandmaster Flash, Run-D.M.C., Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy. Kendrick Lamar introduced the “World’s Most Dangerous Group” at the ceremony, explaining how they redefined the meaning of gangster.

“Being gangster symbolizes a hustle that you can change your reality,” he explained. “The true meaning of gangster, being able to show what it takes to be the world’s biggest music group.”
