In addition to soul legend Bobby Womack, heavy metal gods Metallica, doo-wop star Little Anthony, and innovative guitarist Jeff Beck…The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has also included legendary hip hop group RUN DMC on its list of inductees for 2009.

Run-D.M.C. is only the second rap act to be inducted—after Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. The groundbreaking trio is one of the most celebrated artists in hip hop history, having been named Greatest Rap Group of all time by MTV.com in 2004, Greatest Hip Hop Artist of All Time by VH1 in 2003, and listed among the greatest musical artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.

Check out the throw back vid for their classic “King of Rock,” where they trashed a fictitious Rock Hall of Fame.
