N.W.A, Janet Jackson, Nine Inch Nails Among 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

Nominees for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced on Thursday, and the rap group profiled in Universal’s hit biopic “Straight Outta Compton” are on the list.

N.W.A — founded by hip-hop stars including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy-E — joins Janet Jackson on the list also populated by Steve Miller, Cheap Trick, Chaka Khan, Chicago, Yes and Nine Inch Nails.

Jackson recently released her first album in seven years in addition to going on a new tour. N.W.A has been back in the public eye since the movie about them hit theaters in August, grossing nearly $200 million worldwide since.
