Whitney Houston and Notorious B.I.G. were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously. The late icons will join rock legends Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, T. Rex and The Doobie Brothers.

Whitney, who died in 2012 at age 48, is among four artists inducted after being added to the ballot for the first time. The Doobie Brothers, Biggie and T-Rex are the others.

Whitney remains one of the best-selling artists of all time, selling 200 million albums worldwide.

Biggie, real name Christopher Wallace, is best known for his rap hits "Juicy" and "Big Poppa." His posthumous album Life After Death, featuring hits like "Mo Money Mo Problems" and "Hypnotize," is one of the few rap albums to be certified Diamond by the RIAA.

B.I.G. became the first rap artist to earn multiple No. 1 singles after his death.

He was gunned down at the peak of his career in 1997 at age 24. His murder remains unsolved.

This is a shame. The tattoo artist who did this to a child should lose his license.

She shared the photo on Instagram with the explanation, “Business instead of games!” After she revealed her extreme tattoo to her followers, the Internet went off yesterday. She responded on Twitter by saying, “LMAO NAH WORLDSTAR TOO! NOW YA”LL ODING LIKE YALL NEVER SEEN A LIP TAT.”

T’yanna has also got another tattoo honoring the hip-hop legend. She has a tattoo of Biggie posed as an angel on her shoulder.

    New Music: Sean Combs – Angels

    Sean Combs was spotted out & about in Manhattan yesterday. Is it me or has Sean lost weight? It looks like his personal training fees (which are rumored to be close to $100K) are paying off.

    Yesterday, Sean released the music video for "Angels" a new track off his upcoming album. The pop-tinged track features Sean singing, yes singing with a little help from T-Pain's autotuner. Angels is obviously targeted for that crossover market. The track also features a verse by the Notorious BIG and vocals by Dawn Richards, formerly of Danity Kane. No comment on Diddy's singing talent.
