NWA to receive Rock Hall honour

Hip hop group NWA will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year.
The "Straight Outa Compton" rappers will be enshrined at the 31st annual induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City on April 8, 2016, along with American rock groups Cheap Trick and Chicago, 'Smoke On The Water' hitmakers Deep Purple and 'Abracadabra' singer Steve Miller, reported Female First.
Ice Cube is "extremely excited" that his group are among the honorees and believes it has "solidified" their status in the music industry.
Speaking about the group, made up of DJ Yella, Dr Dre, MC Ren, Eazy-E, who passed away in 1995, and former member Arabian Prince, Cube said, "I'm extremely excited about it. It's hard to sum up exactly what it means. It means a lot of things. It means that the group's mark is kind of solidified. It's all legitimised in a way because the whole music industry has to honour the group.

"We got some of the most creative, talented people in NWA that's ever been compiled in one group. It's just exciting that the group as a whole gets recognised by the whole industry as Hall of Fame-worthy."
A movie about the group growing up in California, titled "Straight Outa Compton", was released in August and Cube thinks it helped fans understand their beginnings.
