LL Cool J Eyes Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

When Run DMC was inducted into the 2009 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, it's likely LL Cool J was one of their most ardent supporters. While their careers may have drawn obvious parallels in style and era, Run DMCs example was the paradigm by which every artist measured themselves in the '80s.

They undoubtedly paved the way for talent like L and the Hall recognizes as much, as he is a part of the list of nominees for the 2010 class. 

An impressive group that includes Kiss, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Donna Summer and Jimmy Cliff, Cool J could be among the five that make it into the 25 th induction ceremony on March 15, 2010 in NY. 

Inductees are announced in December.
