LL Cool J Gets Rock-N-Roll HOF Nomination

Let’s try this again. Last year, LL was snubbed from the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame. But now, The G.O.A.T. has been nominated for a second time. Inductees will be announced in December followed by the ceremony on March 14th in NYC. Among the other nominees are The Beastie Boys, Kiss and Neil Diamond. Winners are selected by a panel of over 500 music experts.

    He’ll get in this time. He has the classic rock story. Sex, drugs, hip-hop and botox. Hope he makes it. Great for the culture.

  2. Black McJagger says:

    He should get in this time around as well as The Beastie Boys. Funny how we forget that at one time LL was one of the illest rappers around. He’s doing his acting thing now making money all power to him

  3. Jason says:

    @ isis

    “…and botox”

    ….HA!!!! *DEAD*

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  8. Certifiedone. says:

    This is stupid man. Would we see AC/DC being nominated in a hip hop hall of fame?
    I love both genres but come on seriously, ridiculous.

  9. @bobbigprofecy says:

    I dont kno if this is the Beastie Boys 1st time being nominated for RRHOF but if it IS & they get inducted ima be pissed. LL had way more of an impact so if he couldnt get in 1st time & the white guys do they will have lost the teeny tiny little bit of respect I had for them.

  10. lol..fall back ol skool, need beats….soundcloud.com/angeredrebel

  11. Stop says:

    Rock n roll hall of fame ain’t for a genre it’s more a lifestyle and how you have got to the top

  12. Midnite! says:

    Well deserved!Jack the Ripper!!King Hercules!!!

  13. Curtis75Black says:

    It’ll be tight if he gets it this time !! Hopefully he isn’t treated like Susan Lucci.

  14. Android says:

    Watch as the Fucken Beastie Boys get in before LL. Just watch.

    Definition for the young and uninformed. Very few musicians are racist. To atain maximum greatness having wold success is the primary key. The Rock Hall of Fame is about originality, lifestyle, attitude, consistency and success. Being black and and a fan of many rock n metal artists, Rap has always been the black heavy metal. it’s our fuck you music!! The Hall of fame was never designed to just honor rock related bands.

  16. 3pk says:

    At the same time..@certifiedone…THERE IS NO OFFICIAL HIP HOP HALL OF FAME.
    DO YOUR RESEARCH. VH1 HONORS WAS CREATED TO PICK UP THE MIDDLE WEIGHTS, THE ROCK HALL IS RESERVED FOR THE REAL HEAVYWEIGHTS. Keep in mind all rock hall acts can’t be considered until after there 25th year as a recording act.
    For people with bad understanding..waka flaka, gucci, bob, drake, nicki minaj…….NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL EVER GRACE THE ROCK HALL…TRUST ME ON THAT. FEW LEGENDS ARE MADE TODAY, BECAUSE IMAGE OVERIDES TALENT AND DRIVE.
    JAY Z IS ON HIS WAY BECAUSE HE’S CONSTANTLY WORKING AND REDEFINING HIS WORK.
    HE’S OUR METALLICA RIGHT NOW! I USED METALLICA AS AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE THEY’RE IN THE ROCK HALL NOW….BEEN A BAND SICE ’81, RECORDING SINCE ’83 PAY CLOSE ATTENTION HERE….They are currently on tour in support of there last release.
    HERE COMES THE BEST PART..THEY’RE LAST CD WAS RELEASED IN AUGUST OF 2008!!
    OH N THEY SOLD OUT ON THE LAST LEG TO END AROUND THANKS GIVING
    Meanwhile…you got drake releasing a debut cd on JUNE 16 2010, THE ABOUT TWO WEEKS GO BUY AND HE’S RELEASING MORE NEW SONGS….THATS THE TYPE OF DUMB SHIT THAT HAS FUCKED UP THE GAME. PUT YO BEST SHIT OUT N HIT THE ROAD…..THATS ROCK N ROLL.
    WHAT’S EVEN MORE STUPID IS THE DAMN MIX TAPES…RICK ROSS FINE EXAMPLE..
    BMF BLOWS UP….WAS NOT EVEN RECORDED FOR HIS TEFLON RELEASE, BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE HE ADDS IT TO TEFLON…SO MY QUESTION IS WHY NOT PUT IT ON TEFLON AND NOT EVEN RELEASE A MIXTAPE. WHEN ARE THESE RAPPERS GONE REALIZE THEY DONT NEED NO WARM UP CD…..LASTLY WHO THA FUCK IS MAINO N THIS ORTIZ GUY…THESE NIGGAS GOT MORE SINGLES THAN THE WHOLE NET..YET U DONT HEAR ABOUT THEM PLAYIN NO WHERE….THIS SHIT AINT HALL OF FAME SHIT..SO UNDERSTAND BEFORE U SPEAK DUDE.

  17. Black McJagger says:

    Micheal Jackson is in the Rock n Roll hall of fame as well as RUN DMC

  18. 3pk says:

    Black McJagger…thank you for adding a lil more truth to this, for those who only thought The Hall of Fame was just for rock bands. Good to hear someone else understands Rock n Roll means your the best at being good even when you choose to be bad. It never had anything to do with race. Let’s not forget Prince was put in in ’04. This is a great honor, now lets hope LL actually get’s the honor. To my knowledge this is only nomination phase. Seriously…Motley Crue is more overdue than even LL, Kiss as well…so each year poses a challenge since the inductees are usually limited to with in five to ten.

  19. t says:

    Uh! you forgot Alice cooper for sure into hall of fame then maybe the brooklyn boys for sure also and double def jam with LL yeah ok i dig that and rick rubin gotta be there to rep def jam. onstage

  20. Belize says:

    Hmmm…..

    THEY NEED 2 HURRY UP AND PUT HIM IN

  29. An interesting discussion is value comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this subject, it might not be a taboo subject however usually individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  30. I really enjoy this theme you have got going on in your internet site. What is the name of the design by the way? I was thinking of using this style for the site I am going to make for my school project.

    Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a
    similar one and i was just wondering if
    you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.
