Wu-Tang Clan & Lauryn Hill Nominated For Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Wu-Tang Clan and Lauryn Hill have both been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Hame.

The Staten Island rap group and Fugees star are among the Class of 2026 nominees alongside Mariah Carey, Sade, New Edition, Luther Vandross and Phil Collins.

Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Iron Maiden, Pink, Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol, Shakira, The Black Crowes, INXS and Melissa Etheridge are also up for induction as part of a diverse group of acts that span rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, soul, R&B, pop and new wave.

Wu-Tang Clan and Lauryn Hill are both first-time nominees, despite it being well over the 25-year eligibility period since they released their first commercial recordings (Enter the Wu-Tang [36 Chambers] in 1993 and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, respectively).
