Missy Elliott can't believe she is being inducted as the first female hip-hop artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Missy Elliott is being inducted as the first female hip-hop artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday, November 3, and she still can’t believe the milestone honor.
In 2007, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five became the first hip-hop act inducted. Since then, nine more artists, all male, became members of the Hall of Fame: Jay-Z, LL Cool J, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, N.W.A., Public Enemy, Eminem, Beastie Boys and Run-DMC. Elliott will become the eleventh hip-hop artist to be inducted.
The trailblazer noted that her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honor is more significant because it comes during the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.She grew up in Portsmouth, Virginia with famed producer Timbaland, and together they wrote and produced hits for numerous artists, including the late Aaliyah. Elliott's writing and production credits also include Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Eminem, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and more.She has released six albums, all platinum or multi-platinum.
“My anxiety kicked in…I started freaking out. So in the wee hours of the morning before the Super Bowl, before I performed, I was at the emergency room,” Elliott remembered in her interview with Roberts. “It feels good to be in a time now where you can talk about it, because there’s a lot of people who suffer from anxiety.”
