Snoop Dogg is among the nominees for the 2023 Songwriters Hall of Fame, yet another impressive accolade for the accomplished rapper/entrepreneur. Next year's class was announced on Monday (November 14) and includes Bryan Adams, R.E.M., Blondie, Gloria Estefan, Patti Smith, R.E.M., Sade and Teddy Riley.
Snoop is one of few Hip Hop artists to be considered for the annual honor. In June 2019, Missy Elliott became the first female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Queen Latifah was tasked with inducting Elliott and spoke about their decades-long friendship. Former First Lady Michelle Obama also sent in a taped video that aired during the ceremony, thanking Elliott for her "trailblazing ways."
