"People were scared to talk about these kinds of tough situations, but because [Eazy] and the group took it upon themselves to talk about [these things], every artist is able to and they owe it to him," Kendrick told Rolling Stone in October 2015. "He's not only the birth of gangsta rap, but he's the birth of a whole legacy of being able to say what you want to say on a record and not being in fear of what others may think and not offending your own art and your own reflection."
Other 2016 inductees include Cheap Trick, Steve Miller, Chicago and Deep Purple.
The 31st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will be at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Friday, April 8. HBO will broadcast the ceremony in spring 2016.
