Miller tells Rolling Stone that he “was very pleased and happy” to hear the news, although he admits that he hadn’t thought a lot about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before he was nominated earlier this year.

Numerous inductees have been waiting for inclusion for several years, but it doesn’t change the fact that this year’s list of inductees is disturbingly slanted towards male White rockers from the ’70s, a sort of last gasp for the “classic rock” generation and another thumbing of the nose at the stars and genres that emerged later.

N.W.A. are only the fifth hip-hop group to make it to the Rock Hall, following like-minded pioneers in Public Enemy as well as The Beastie Boys, Grandmaster Flash, and the forefathers of the gernre, Run DMC.
New to the Hall are Chicago, Deep Purple, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick & N.W.A.
“N.W.A.’s improbable rise from marginalized outsiders to the most controversial and complicated voices of their generation remains one of rock’s most explosive, relevant and challenging tales”, the Hall of Fame said in its announcement.
