A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. & Rakim Among Nominees for 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

On Saturday (Feb. 10), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced this year's star-studded list of nominees whose contributions to the music industry deem them all worthy of such an honor. A Tribe Called Quest, comprised of Q-Tip, Jarobi White, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and the late Phife Dawg, join Eric B. & Rakim in representing hip-hop as hopeful inductees. The two iconic rap acts will find out if they've been voted in this coming April with the official induction ceremony being held later in 2024.

While ATCQ was been nominated for induction into the Rock Hall for the past three years consecutively, 2024 serves as Eric B. & Rakim's second time on the ballot. It has been 12 years since the first time the New York duo was nominated back in 2012. Both A Tribe Called Quest and Eric B. & Rakim rose to prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s during what many consider to be the golden era of hip-hop.
