What does NWA stand for?

Gossip is for girls like Joan Rivers not rock music. News is news but this is gossip

NWA is about as "rock n roll" as a German is an Ethiopian. The sad reality is: rock n roll has been under attack by these Hollywood ghouls for 50+ years and they will never, EVER stop trying to discredit or defame it. Fortunately for us, you can't stop rock n roll! The Hall of Fame is GARBAGE, the ultimate poser organization. Rock is still the #1 selling genre of music in the USA, Europe and elsewhere, even though the mass media COMPLETELY ignores it. It's a psyop

🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Broooooo the rock n roll HOF had me checked out when they started to induct rappers and NOT Motörhead, Iron Maiden and etc WTF????!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needs to change their name if they are going to induct hip hop or rap acts. Those acts aren't rock and roll! Maybe change it to The American Music Hall of Fame.💯

It’s the dumbest argument of all time. ‘They’re not ROCK!’ Neither were the Supremes. You keeping Diana Ross out? Neither was Johnny Cash. How bout him? Neither was Sly Stone (or his Family). Think they have no place in the Hall? Blondie. I forgot Blondie. And The Bee Gees. Oh by the way, Michael Jackson isn’t rock either. Not a single person alive would argue to keep him out. So the rest of you should stafu about hip hop. NWA were bigger, better, and FAR more influential than Priest or Maiden or Journey or whoever you’re mad isn’t in the Hall yet. Maybe they should be in too, but that does not change the fact that Cypress Hill were just as cool and influential as Korn and Eminem is way bigger than anyone not already in. Drake too. And Taylor Swift. She bigger than The Beatles. Is she Rock?

I used to get mad at so many iconic and amazing bands that always deserved to be inducted
Now I realise it’s no longer the rock and roll hall of fame it’s a music hall of fame
That’s why over the last 10 years I couldn’t tell you who is and isn’t in it after I stopped paying attention

NWA has NOTHING to do with rock & roll.
Let them have their lame azz hiphop awards.
@Celestial_Being666

It should be called the music hall of fame that’d clear up all the controversy !
@emilholmgrenmusic

Firstly, Corey's wrong. NWA and Run DMC are groups, not bands. Bands are people who play instruments together. I'm not devaluating their efforts, but nomenclature matters.
That's brings me to my second point, it's the ROCK N' ROLL hall of fame. Not the "music hall of fame", not the "western popular music" hall of fame, but the "rock n' roll" hall of fame. It should be rock bands only. Different genres of rock music, sure, but not genres outside the rock tradition.

Marvin Gaye’s got a better chance to get an inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame before motorhead does
@andrewszabad4906
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
It’s not the band Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame honored the rock ‘n’ roll genre of music issue. I had this is when you have people that aren’t rock ‘n’ roll music getting inducted and then people that are rock ‘n’ roll that aren’t being inducted.

Motorhead isn't there. Iron Maiden isn't there. Alice in Chains isn't in there. Enough said.
@David-py6bz

We.should have bands inducted into the bet awards
@Geraldo-ro9rc

Nwa sucked. All of their songs are trash but because they were "rebellious" they get praised.
@layneinchains4047
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
The fact that Alice In Chains has not been inducted is criminal!
@adamtravis1638
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Motley Crue, and a host of other Metal bands should’ve been inducted long before many of the artists who have gotten in! To me, the Rock Hall should not include hip-hop or rap…if there was a Rap and Hip-Hop Hall of Fame, I guarantee Rock and Metal acts wouldn’t be inducted. The Rock Hall lost its way long ago, giving in to external pressures..,
@theSilentCutter
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
Motley Crue is not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame……. that is a badge of Honor! the rock and roll hall of fame is a JOKE!
@carlskipper6727
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
NWA were punk rockers – Deserve to be there. But totally agree with Corey – so many pivotal bands that shaped rock/metal overlooked. A band being in the R&R HoF has no impact on me whatsoever, but as Jonathan Davies says, recognition is recognition.

Motörhead still aren’t in… Mariah Carey is.

I've had the same opinion since I started having opinions. Irrelevant, clueless organization of nobodies with zero legitimacy. Don't care never cared.

Rock and Hall of Lame. Is messed up bands that. Should be in aren't. And one,s that shouldn't are
@zaboog
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
Everyone always says they don't care about the r&r hall of fame and then have an awful lot to say about it
@JackRabbit617
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
7:40 Aerosmith and Run DMC might have something to do with that.
@lewisgrant7622
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
The fact that it took them so long to induct Ozzy baffles me
@JackRabbit617
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
A quick fix to all the problems, change the fucking name to Music hall of fame. 😆 That way they can add whoever because they will anyway and everyone can complain about something else because they will. It's all about money, pretty much any H.O.F or award can be bought.
@cmbells7736

Nwa kinda rock n roll, they was doing they own thing and inspired others.
@66Seven
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
its no longer the RRHoF; its the Recording Industry HoF .. irrelevant, a distraction & another corporate grift. (KK's Kenny Stabler comment says it ALL)
@michaelmonthey5974

Motörhead has been deserving to be in it for the last 2.5 decades, but hasn’t been inducted and now Mikky Dee is the last surviving member of the band.
@Twili-Link2478

Sorry rap should not be in the rock n roll hof.
@patrickmcgee8556

A bunch of guy yapping into a mic over some cheap ass computer music is NOT a band

Hall of Fame's are for Ego's. A simple man would think that a career making millions, cruising the world, playing stages would be hall of fame enough.

Is Kiss going to be put in the rap hall of fame?

The guy who started the hall of fame did it to get free memorabilia for his museum
@ICLight412

It’s the music HOF not rock n roll ran by elites who choose.
I believe a metal and rock n roll HOF should open at OZZY’s hometown. Let the artists choose who gets in with fans having some say.
@KevinPritts
June 29, 2026 at 3:27 am
I mean if Alice in chains isn't there then the shit is defunked 🤷🤷🤷🤷
Run DMC is not band btw they where a trio of mcees and extremely dope for sure…but hip hop needs its own thing…hip hop got its own thing and deserves its own respect and breathing room absolutely…and rock is rock …RnR hof deserves no respect until it rights it's wrongs and that will never happen 🤷

Do we forget all Pop Music be it Rock, Pop, Jazz Blues or even … Metal.. was once Rock N Roll or Folk rock by African American in the 40's and 50's? Seriously?

i dont lose a day's sleep over that shit. The ' rock and roll ' hall of shame is not relevant.
