Let’s be real, this is long over-due. But alas, Missy Elliott has been nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a first for a female rapper.
If she wins, Missy will only be the third rapper inducted (Jermaine Dupri received the honor earlier this year alongside Kool & The Gang and JAY-Z took home the honor as the first rapper inducted in 2017). And just in case you didn’t know about Missy’s iconic writing history, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the greatest songs of the last 20 years she’s responsible for.
Missy’s longtime friends Mariah Carey and Dallas Austin are also nominated. We’ll find out their fate on June 13, 2019.
