JAY-Z was inducted in his first year of eligibility. In order to be eligible for this year's ballot, each nominee's first single or album had to have been released in 1995 or earlier. JAY-Z's debut album, Reasonable Doubt, dropped in 1996.
Three of this year's inductees–Tina Turner, Dave Grohl, and Carole King–are entering the Hall of Fame for the second time. Turner entered in 1991 as half of the duo Ike & Tina Turner.
"This is our most diverse class in the history of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame," John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement. "It really represents the Hall's ongoing commitment to honor the artists that have created not only rock and roll, but the sound of youth culture."
Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, and Dionne Warwick were also among this year's 16-nominee ballot, but did not garner enough votes.
The induction ceremony will be held at Cleveland's Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Oct. 30 and will broadcast on HBO Max at a later date.

Rap-Up Hip-Hop and R&B Music, News, Photos, Interviews, & Videos Swizz Beatz Reveals Why Pop Smoke Was Not Featured on DMX's Album https://www.rap-up.com/2021/05/28/swizz-beatz-pop-smoke-not-featured-dmx-exodus/ May 28th 2021, 19:17 DMX's posthumous album Exodus was released Friday featuring Alicia Keys, JAY-Z, Bono, and more. One guest who was noticeably absent was Pop Smoke, leaving fans to wonder what happened to his previously-announced feature. During an interview with the "Drink Champs" podcast earlier this year, X teased the collaboration with the late Brooklyn rapper, who was initially set to appear on "Money Money Money." However, Pop's verse didn't end up on the album for unknown reasons. Now Swizz reveals that it was cut because Pop's team gave his verse to someone else. "They used the verse already. I know X wouldn't want an old verse," Swizz said during an album listening for media. ...

SOUNDCLOUD REMOVED MY TRACK: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

Image
Pretty much every upcoming  songwriter  in the world is on SoundCloud. And sometimes, your track will get removed without warning. In this article, I'll explain what you can do about it. SOUNDCLOUD IS IMPORTANT FOR MUSICIANS, BUT WHY DO THEY REMOVE YOUR TRACKS WITHOUT WARNING? There's no doubt that SoundCloud has become one of the best platforms for sharing your music and allowing fans to connect and engage with your tracks. Tom Leo, founder of  YouKnowIGotSoul.com  says that he seriously questions any music submission that is not accompanied by a SoundCloud link. I agree that SoundCloud has grown to be a trustworthy brand, and artists who host their music on SoundCloud appear to be more credible than artists who just send MP3 attachments in their email submissions. (Seriously, don't do that!) We know how much work goes into the creative process. Just think of all those countless studio sessions where night turns into morning, and you have to go to work straight from the st...

After going back and forth last year, the two are leaving the beef in the past. Their so-called feud started last July when Snoop omitted Em from his top 10 favorite rappers list, telling "The Breakfast Club" that he could "live without" the Detroit rapper's music. Em clapped back at Snoop for "doggin'" him on his Music to Be Murdered By: Side B cut "Zeus," prompting Snoop to respond, "Pray I don't answer that soft ass shit." But weeks later, Snoop revealed that the two were back on "good" terms, and now Eminem is addressing the status of their friendship. On the remix to "Killer" with Jack Harlow a...
