Legendary hip-hop rapper Tupac Shakur is one of the latest names to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as of next year.

The MC will join the likes of Pearl Jam, ELO, Journey, Joan Baez, and Yes, who are also entering next year, while Chic, Depeche Mode, Janet Jackson, The J. Geils Band, Bad Brains, Kraftwerk, Jane’s Addiction, MC5, Chaka Khan, Steppenwolf, The Zombies, and The Cars are some of those left out.
