Missy Elliot’s nomination is as a result of fulfilling a demanding feature required for eligibility.

Songwriters considered for an entry into the hall of fame are often those who have been wring published songs for a period of 20 years.

The rapper’s debut studio album “Supa Dupa Fly” which turned 20 in the year 2017, makes her eligible.

By Monday, December 17, 2018, members of the Hall of Fame will have voted for three non-performing songwriters and three performing songwriters to be revealed before the New York event.
