Noodles of The Offspring advocates for rap inclusion in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Noodles, the guitarist for The Offspring, believes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be inclusive of all music genres, including rap. He acknowledges that his band is unlikely to be inducted, despite their success. Noodles expressed that many deserving bands have been overlooked, making induction feel more elite. He and frontman Dexter Holland noted their lack of major awards, which may affect their chances of recognition. Noodles defended the Hall's inclusivity, citing artists like Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. He highlighted the significance of defiance in rock and roll, referencing NWA's induction as an example of this spirit.
