Pioneering rap group, N.W.A., will be inducted by Kendrick Lamar, who has long cited the hip-hop icons as a major influence in his career. Kid Rock will be on hand to induct the Chicago based band, Cheap Trick. These two superstars will join Lars Ulrich (believed to be inducting Deep Purple) and The Black Keys (believed to be inducting Chicago).

Isn’t it always news when Barry Bonds talks about the Baseball Hall of Fame?
