The late Tupac Shakur has been nominated for the induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Artists must have released their first recording at least 25 years ago to be eligible for nomination. The names of the 2017 inductees will be announced in December once voting is complete.
Other artists who have been nominated include American rockers Pearl Jam, metal band Steppenwolf, English electronic act Depeche Mode and funk singer Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson among others.
Tupac's nomination reflects the growing acceptance of rap as a force in mainstream music and follows the Hall of Fame induction in 2016 of California rappers N.W.A. as only the fifth hip hop act ever to be voted in.
