For nearly 50 years, the Songwriters Hall of Fame has recognized the achievements of the people who put words and music together. "CBS This Morning: Saturday" revealed the six artists of the 2019 class. One of them is Missy Elliott, the first female hip-hop artist to be inducted.
The other five songwriters are Yusuf Islam, John Prine, Tom T. Hall, Dallas Austin and Jack Tempchin.
In addition to becoming the first female hip-hop artist, Missy Elliott's induction also makes her just the third rapper to be included in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Grammy-winning emcee has written for Beyonc?, Janet Jackson and Mary J. Blige, in addition to having her own influential solo career.
The British-born Yusuf Islam, who came to fame as Cat Stevens, was one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the 1970s when he released nine straight gold or platinum albums. Some of his most famous tunes include "Wild World," "Peace Train" and "Father & Son."
John Prine joins the hall with a catalog of songs that have been recorded by Bette Midler, Johnny Cash and Bonnie Raitt. Writing, Prine has said, "is about a blank piece of paper and leaving out what's not supposed to be there."
Kentucky's Tom T. Hall, known as 'the storyteller,' wrote a dozen No. 1 country hits like "Old Dogs, Children & Watermelon Wine," which Rolling Stone ranked as one of the 100 greatest country songs. But he may be best known for the No. 1 smash Jeannie C. Riley had with his song, "Harper Valley P.T.A." in 1968.
Dallas Austin wrote TLC's first No. 1 hit, "Creep" in 1994. Austin has also written hits for Boyz II Men, with Madonna on "Secret" and with Gwen Stefani on "Cool."
Jack Tempchin wrote his best-known song on the floor of a club in El Centro, California, scribbling the words on the back of a poster. Then, in 1972, the Eagles recorded "Peaceful Easy Feeling" on their debut album. Tempchin would co-write more hits for the band including "Somebody" and "You Belong To the City" with its leader Glenn Frey. Now Tempchin belongs in the hall.
Well deserved. :stressed:

I would assume not unless it was on some ghostwriting rap mess.
Missy Elliot is the first female rapper artist to be inducted but she dipped a lot into R&B.
All of that music she's done for other R&B artists count towards this honor.
So it's different for her - I wouldn't even compare her to Nicki or Shim or Fox, etc.
If I remember correctly (if I'm wrong someone feel free to correct me) she began as a singer/writer and eventually got into rap.
Nicki is a real, from the streets, "come up on the mixtape scene" rapper.
Who really spits bars. Not a singer/songwriter turned "ooh ooh will or wontcha" rapper.
:dead: :dead:
All this mumble jumble
Missy is a real rapper period, whether it's the career she set out to get or not, she def' pioneered and elevated it in a way "real rappers" wish they could. :dead:

And Missy didn?t just start as some singer who just so happened to fall into rap.
She was always a rapper even before she got in Sista.
She was apart of rap duo called Fayze first
Best selling female rapper and also the first to perch in the hof?

Ugh a true queen
The jealousy over missy actually really being able to sing.
The nerve of the Ke$haships singer fans.

Fayze .... Rap? Duo?
You may want to submit an update to her Wikipedia page - it has the group "Fayze" listed as an R&B group. Also, as opposed to a duo, it appears they were a trio . (Pic below)
And while you're at it, update Youtube's records. There's an R&B song in place of their rap tracks.
Wow, you Missy stans are on it! Very knowledgeable of your kwee. Let me know how the updates come along.

You try so hard to be condescending instead of having a civil conversation that it?s crazy.
Anyway, I got it mixed up. fayze was actually Sista?s original name before Devante came in and made them a female Jodeci and changed the name to Sista.
Now just because i got the names mixed doesn?t mean I?m wrong. If yuh watch her fucking BTM special, her and her childhood friend had a rap duo before she got in a singing group

Jesus Scott. I love you , I really do. But if you feel I am so condescending just don't quote me - especially to correct me without checking the facts.
I hit you with just a bit of sarcasm and I'm a try-hard condescending bitch.
Basically
that wasn't you damn sarcasm and you know it
Once l said ?but dew? this case was closed. I?m not trying to go back and forth over this shit. I said what l said in regards to how l took it. If my feeling wasn?t correct then ok. I don?t care that much
The only thing i got wrong was the name of the group and nothing else.
