Saw the D O Double-G close the 2015 Bunbury Fest. Was 2nd row for the show (had managed to get up fairly close for Brand New (a punk-metal band) set & then a lot of people headed off to see 21 Pilots & I got to where I got (just off center stage).

Snoop gave a great show, played all his songs, did a few cool covers. No special guests, just him & his backing band/crew. At end of set, just before he played last song (Jamming), he said 'I just want to leave y'all with some words of wisdom...(big pause)...SMOKE WEED MOTHERF**KERS!!!!'

Still 7 or 8 hip hop acts need to go in before him, but he can command the stage.

well... what about Bessie Smith already in and

and so many more.

all jazz & blues not in? Furry Lewis was a heavy influence on rock and roll (especially Rolling Stones)

Many rappers from the early days 60's-80's state electronic music as their influence. Heck even Ice-T listened to House!

Rock & Roll evolved rom something and is evolving into something!

Cut that shit, rap had a lot of influence in the current rock and you know, it does not matter the genre everything is about influence in the rock that is why there are artists country, rap, folk. It does not matter in the genre that they do, it matters the influence and development that these had in the rock.

What if they pass on LL Cool J this year and go with Snoop Dog?

I think Snoop might be one of/the only rapper who has the best chance of getting nominated for the next class. But a Tribe Called Quest is my biggest Hip-Hop/Rap snub.

While it is not my taste in music, rap belongs because it is an offshoot of rock as well as an offshoot of R&B. That being said, Snoop is one of the more influential of his genre.

While many acts in the Rock Hall are better known for their image than actual music, like Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and (HOT TAKE!) George Harrison, it's too soon to do that for a hip hop artist.

Snoop Dogg is the Greatest of all time. Not only is he the king of hip hop. He is the best at whatever he does and an inspiration to youngsters not only in the hood but also the suburbs. His debut album is a forever classic and after that he created platinum album after platinum album. He is one of many reasons why I am proud to be from the westcoast on the Eastside of Los Angeles. Eastside Up ! Eastsider

Not rock and roll. Rap hip hop doesn't belong. Enough said.

Yes snoop dog has been a influence in my life since I heard Gin N Juice back in 1993. This man is a legend and belongs in the hall of Fame.

Are you kidding me? YH!!! Snoop Dogg is literally a goddamn phenomenon. He made at least eight top 10 singles in UK and US. He even worked with Dr Dre on a bunch of legendary singles, like The Next Episode and Still DRE. Don't forget that one of our main men Eminem got inducted to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

There is no one like Snoop! He is one of the ground breaking artists that brought rap into the world. He is a multi talented phenomenon! When we think of rap and when it began, Snoop Dogg's name is there. Tu Pac, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre. and, of course, Eminem.
