It’s a cause for celebration for lovers of Hip-Hop and especially for the members of Hip-Hop’s legendary group, N.W.A. Being one of the most vocal, no nonsense taking, and prolific acts that the genre of Hip-Hop has seen, there’s no denying that N.W.A. has had an undeniable impact and left their mark on the world far beyond the constraints of music. Just a few months back, it was reported that N.W.A. were being considered for the honor and now fast-forward to just yesterday as the group went on to be presented and honored as they were inducted to be included among a lengthy list of deserving contributors.
To present them with the honor, there was no other obvious choice besides Kendrick Lamar, who has went on to attest to just how much of an impact that the group has had on his life in Compton and his flourishing career. Taking to the stage to deliver a heartfelt welcome and dropping gems on how Ice Cube served as the blueprint for his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city. Running down so much more, the gentlemen found themselves to be more than appreciative with their accompanying speeches. Watch the gracious welcome by Kendrick and N.W.A.’s acceptance, below.
