<p>When it hit the internet that N.W.A would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, fans were ecstatic! But now there&#8217;s a bit of bad news leaving fans disappointed &#8211;they won&#8217;t be performing at their induction. </p>
<p>Say what?! </p>
<p>Yes! So according to Ice Cube, the group will NOT be hitting the stage Friday in Brooklyn. </p>
<p>&#8220;Nah, we’re not performing. I guess we really didn’t feel like we were supported enough to do the best show we could put on,&#8221; he told New York Times. </p>
<p>He places a majority of the blame on the event organizers. </p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted to do it on a whole other level, and that just couldn’t happen. But we’re totally honored, humbled, and appreciative to the Hall for even just considering us, inducting us, and inviting us.&#8221;</p>
<p>This comes as a huge surprise seeing as how N.W.A not only took over the box offices and was the lunch pad for older Compton controversy but is only the fifth hip-hop act to be on the receiving end of the award. </p>
<p>Seeing as how they the group is fifth in line to be inducted, Ice Cube made sure to address Gene Simmons&#8217; statements about raps displacement in the Hall of Fame. Cube is a few years late with his comeback but, hey, better late than never, right? </p>
<p>&#8220;I respect Gene Simmons, but I think he’s wrong on this, because rock ’n’ roll is not an instrument and it’s not singing. &#8220;Rock ’n’ roll is a spirit. N.W.A is probably more rock ’n’ roll than a lot of the people that he thinks belong there over hip-hop. We had the same spirit as punk rock, the same as the blues.&#8221; </p>
<p>And that&#8217;s straight from the desk of Ice Cube! </p>
<p>Congrats to N.W.A!<br />
Catch them being inducted by Kendrick Lamar on HBO when it airs April 30th! </p>
