I’m a high school drop-out with a hip-hop education.” His influence in the genre has been undeniable and continues to make waves every time he releases music.
Other artists who were honored with Hall of Fame honors include Dolly Parton, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon. Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis will also be honored with an award for musical excellence.
