And The Honorees Are...

The legends who make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are getting a diverse group of new members this year!

Joining the elite group will now be Run-DMC, who used to call themselves the Kings of Rock.

And along with Run-DMC, this year’s newest members also include Metallica, the Imperials, soul singer Bobby Womack, guitarist Jeff Beck, and doo-wop group Little Anthony.

In an interview today, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels said, “I’m a rap dude, I’m an MC from Hollis (a neighborhood in New York’s borough of Queens), just rockin’ the mic, and to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with the Beatles, and (Bob) Dylan, and the rock ‘n’ roll gods? It’s ridiculous! Ridiculous in a good way.”
