I actually suggested 2 Live Crew as there are already rap/hip hop artists in the hall so why not add another - a very groundbreaking and controversial one at that. The music seems to hold up pretty well 20 years after they were "in".

2 Live Crew are groundbreaking cuz they brought sex into hip hop in a real big way! All of those songs you hear from rappers and hip hoppers about sex (some of which are quite explicit) would not have been possible if these guys didn't take the flack for it back in the late 1980s!

And not to mention being the first non-NYC rap group to make it into the mainstream consciousness (alongside the NWA)...
