It was announced this morning that Pac will part of the Hall’s 2017 class, which also includes Pearl Jam, Journey, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Joan Baez.

Tupac is the first solo rapper to be inducted, following the rap acts the Furious Five (2007), Run DMC (2009), Beastie Boys (2012), Public Enemy (2013) and N.W.A. (2016).

The induction ceremony and concert takes April 7th in Brooklyn’s Barclay Center and will be aired soon after on HBO.

It will be interesting to see who accepts the award for Pac, who was gunned down in 1996, and who performs on his behalf.
