Although they may have the most dedicated following of anyone on this list the odds of Insane Clown Posse ever getting into the Hall could be the lowest of anyone on this list.  Sure they sold records and filled concert halls and literally created their own brand; but it was that cartoonish Hardcore Hip Hop style that gained them little fans in the critical world, and for every music fan that reveres them, there can be easily found a fan who detests them.  Not exactly the formula for induction, not that ICP or their fans would care anyway. 

Now that Dr. Dre (approrpriately) got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A., the question we ask now is whether he should get in as a solo act.  Already making a more than strong case as a producer, Dr. Dre’s solo efforts and collaborations are amongst the most respected in the Hip-Hop world.  A second induction for Dre is a possibility.  

Considering that he emerged in the era of Gangsta Rap, Common’s Alternative/Jazz Rap sound made him unlikely to achieve the success that he did.  Unlike many artists who seem to flame out after their initial efforts, Common’s albums just got better and better.  It is this acclaim and continued career upswing that could propel him as a surprise inductee, or maybe a nomination to the Hall in years to come.
