The nominees for induction next year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced Tuesday, October 18, and Tupac Shakur was selected in his first year of eligibility.

It would be hard to imagine Shakur not being inducted, given his list of classic albums released before and after his September 1996 murder in Las Vegas at the age of 25.

Shakur's musical legacy began in 1991 with his debut album titled "2Pacalypse Now." He would follow that up with "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.," "Me Against the World," "All Eyez on Me," "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory" and many more.

According to the Associated Press, the other nominess for the 2017 class are Chic, Chaka Khan, Pearl Jam, the J. Geils Band, Journey, Janet Jackson, Joe Tex, Kraftwerk, MC5, The Cars, the Zombies, Yes, Bad Brains, Depeche Mode; Electric Light Orchestra, Jane's Addiction; Joan Baez and Steppenwolf.

More than 800 artists, historians and music-industry officials will vote to decide who gets in. Fans will also be allowed to vote online.

The induction ceremony will take place in December at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York. HBO will later televise the event.

Inductees will officially be enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland next April.

The feud between Azealia Banks and Russell Crowe has gone nuclear.

According to TMZ, Banks went to the police and filed a battery report against the Oscar Award-winning actor Sunday, October 16, claiming he choked, spit on her and called her a nigger.

"To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell Crowe's suite, at which he called me a nigger, choked me, threw me out and spat at me," she wrote in the now deleted post that was captured by Hollywood Gossip. "Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in a long time. The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today. And just weak as fuck man. I want to fucking die. Just feel so low and mishandled and alone and fucking depressed right now. I wish I had someone to beat him up for me."

As we previously reported, this stems from an incident that occurred Saturday, October 15, inside of Crowe's Beverly Hills hotel suite where he was hosting a dinner and music listening get-together for about 10 people.

RZA of the Wu Tang Clan brought Banks to the event. She reportedly recently inked a record deal with the producer.

Some witnesses claim the Harlem, New York rapper was acting "erratic," laughed out loud at Crowe's music selection and made a remark to at least one male guest about "boring white men."

A female party goer insisted Banks chill out.

The 25-year allegedly responded by saying, "You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino shit." 

After she grabbed a glass and cocked it, Crowe put Banks in a bear hug, threw her out of his suite, then had hotel security remove her from the premises.

Banks later demanded that Crowe apologize for the the way she was treated. When he refused she went to the Beverly Hills police and filed the battery report.

Raymani, Banks' agent, commented via his Twitter account about the incident, saying his client was "shell shocked."

"A statement has been issued regarding my client Azealia Banks, 'Azealia is tremendously distraught and disheartened. She is shell shocked and will speak out on the incident once she has had time to process the brutality and abuse she was unjustly subjected to,'" he wrote.

Banks posted on her Facebook paqe that she has proof to back up her claims.

Where this will go from here is unclear. Crowe insists he won't apologize because he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Trouble continues to prove himself as one of the most original artists in ATL with his new track Dig, produced by Cassius Jay.

Trouble, one of the most potent forces in Zone 6, is back with new music. He hasn’t dropped much since May’s Skoobzilla, though the tape was so damn hard that he hasn’t had to. Each song is its own street gospel, and his hard-earned street narratives create a visceral listening experience each time. Best believe his return track is gonna be a good one. The new one from Trouble is called “Dig,” and as shown on the cover artwork, it serves as a tribute to the late rapper and Atlanta bossman OG Double D, who was affiliated with Future’s Freebandz team. The trap-meets-swing production comes from Cassius Jay, a recent selection for Behind The Beat.

It’s hard to pin down what’s so special about Trouble’s style, as there isn’t a trending style he’s adhering to. He’s a master of timing even while remaining wholly conversational. His flows slow and quicken in concord with his emotions, and he’s able to work in catchy hooks as well as high-adrenaline verses all in one improvisational burst. I see Skoobzilla 2 written in the SoundCloud tags. “Dig” is a very promising start.

Trouble tells us that “Double D was a hustler and an inspiration to a lotta us on the Eastside. He was a real dude having real paper. Once he linked wit Future/Freebandz he was able to show the world his flava. Double D made you smile whether you wanted to or not.” RIP to the OG.

Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks got into a confrontation over the weekend that resulted in the "Gladiator" star throwing the rapper out of his hotel suite.

That much is agreed upon by Banks and other witnesses, but the exact details of why it happened and what exactly transpired depends on who you ask.

According to TMZ, The incident occurred at Crowe's suite at a Beverly Hills hotel Saturday, October 15, where he'd invited about 10 people over to have dinner and listen to music.

Rapper, producer, actor and director, RZA, brought Banks with him to the get-together.

Problems began when Banks allegedly called one of the guests "boring white men," after laughing out loud at the music Crowe had selected.

When told to quiet down by a female guest the "212" rapper launched into a bizarre rant.

"You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino shit," she allegedly said.

When Banks grabbed her glass and cocked it back, Crowe put her in a bear hug, threw her out of the suite, then called hotel security and had her removed from the property.

Banks posted a different version of events on her Facebook page.

"To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell Crowe's suite, at which he called me a nigger, choked me, threw me out and spat at me," she wrote in the now deleted post that was captured by Hollywood Gossip. "Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I've had in a long time. The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today. And just weak as fuck man. I want to fucking die. Just feel so low and mishandled and alone and fucking depressed right now. I wish I had someone to beat him up for me."

TMZ reports that RZA says it was Banks who used the N-word, not Crowe. Four other guests told investigators that the rapper was acting "erratic."

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The 15-year-old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay has been fatally shot in Kentucky, the athlete's agent and authorities said Sunday.

Trinity Gay died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner's office for Fayette County said in a statement. The athlete's agent, Mark Wetmore, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that Gay's daughter had died.

Lexington police said in a statement that officers went to the parking lot of a restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington about 4 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported gunfire was exchanged between two vehicles. Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don't believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

Tyson Gay competed in the last three Summer Olympics. He was part of a team that won a silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2012 London Games though that medal was ultimately stripped after Gay tested positive for steroids in 2013.

Trinity Gay was a sprinter at Lafayette High in Lexington and finished fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters at the state Class 3A high school track meet in May, records show. She also ran on a 4x200 relay team that finished fourth. Her father also ran at Lafayette and still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.

The police statement didn't identify Trinity Gay by name, saying a juvenile who was struck at the scene was taken by private vehicle to the UK Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police were still searching for the second vehicle, police said, adding they are continuing to investigate.

A tweet from Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett said he was stunned by the death: "Shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family."

USA Track and Field also tweeted, "Sending our thoughts & prayers to @TysonLGay & his loved ones as they mourn the tragic & senseless loss of his daughter, Trinity."
