Are you serious... Along with MC Lyte, and Neneh Cherry. Queen Latifah was (is) one of THE most influential female MC's of all time... I would say this is a yes

If you go by physical appearance Aretha Franklin never should have made it in and you strictly going by the size! The woman is an incredible actress and she's the one that got LL Cool j started in the business! I say she definitely deserves to be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame

I can see Queen Latifah being inducted alongside Missy Elliot either in the same year or back to back simply because of how influential both were

She should have been inducted first. I love Missy too. But the Queen should have been first.

The Queen is long overdue to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Get busy people and vote her in.

Queen Latifah is long overdue for induction. I too was surprised that she wasn't already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She truly is a rock legend. Please vote for her. In addition to being a rock legend she is a wonderful actress.

Kris Kristofferson should be in the hall of fame while he's still alive. Great songwriter and singer

Everything feels prime for an induction for her in the next year. Heavily involved in two inductees in as many years (inducting Missy and performing for Tribe), a key part of every Hip-Hop at 50 tribute and event for the past 18 months, a Kennedy Centre honor, "All Hail the Queen" now in Nat'l Registry.

At the very least, I expect a Lenny Kravitz-esque longlist nomination just due to her stature in the industry.
