LL's Rock Hall Chances After "Accidental Racist"

Did LL Cool J kill his chances at getting into the Rock Hall with his clunky rap on Brad Paisley's "Accidental Racist"?

LL has been nominated twice before and has a big supporter in Toure on the NomCom, but his rap on Paisley's song has been so derided (and deservedly so), that I would be curious to see what will happen when his name shows up again as a nominee.  And Toure himself called a LL verse in the duet a "possibly career-ending moment."

Who knows when he'll get back on the ballot. His last time was in 2011.  By the time he appears again the embarrassment over his collaboration could die. I'm betting that this will have little effect on his chances because another thing will keep him out.

I've said before that LL isn't in yet because most voters view him as an Actor now and less a rap artist. Doesn't matter that he was once the biggest male hip-hop artist on the planet, or how influential he was, he's seen more on that NCIS show than on any recent music shows.

And no new album is going to change that.

Let's see if Toure can get him on a ballot again. And then let's see if voters will forgive/forget.
