She has already eligible for ten years, so she is not "too early"
Rock hall nominates her before Gloria already shows preference. Shakira currently is more relevant than Gloria... So it is reasonable for rock hall to induct biggest latin act as soon as possible
And Missy Elliott also inducted before salt n pepa.
One of the last massive MTV / VH1 rock bands. Good Spotify numbers (14.7m). Great record sales for only 4 original albums (50m+). Didn't tour a ton, but reunion tours did well. Obviously, not critical darlings, but they absolutely earned it on their own as first album was made for just $6,000. Should be considered, but it is unlikely.
Gangsta's Paradise seems to be the most streamed 90s rap song on Spotify. Although he seems a distant possibility, you can't totally discount him his chances.
