The Hip Hop pioneers are to join a list of popular prospects such as:  Donna Summer, Chic, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rush, Deep Purple, Heart, and the Meters. As Hip-Hop music innovators, N.W.A. and Public Enemy are the first to make the ballot in their first year of eligibility.

German techno- pop group, Kraftwerk is nominated as well. The electronic dance group is up for an induction since being eligible in 2003.
