It's almost May 2024 and Mariah is somewhere cashing her annual seven figure Christmas checks from a song she released in 1994. Her status is solidified!! And her induction will happen when it's supposed to.

As for Mary J Blige, I'm ecstatic and proud that her contribution to r&b/hiphop is being recognized. She has quietly been the most impactful female artist of the genre for the last 30 years. Her influence is still reverberating throughout the entire culture today!! She absolutely deserves this!
