There are plenty of historic individuals and groups who have been left out completely. I don't see why they are being ignored for pop acts. I could name ten acts that should be in and aren't.

you don’t like rap doesn’t mean it’s not real music. Millions of people in this country listen exclusively to rap music and find it artistic and creative. NWA definitely belongs in the HOF.
