00:00Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life with your music roundup and we're going to start this one off with Eminem because he has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
00:08Just a little under two weeks from his highly anticipated Super Bowl performance alongside Dr. Dre and others, it was announced this morning that the Slim Shady star was nominated for induction into the music industry's most exclusive club.
00:21Among all the other 17 nominees, Eminem is the only one to get a nod in his first year of eligibility, which is 25 years after an artist's debut recording.
00:31On top of that, if Eminem is inducted, he would be the seventh hip-hop act to ever make this list as Jay-Z was the last rapper to learn the secret handshake last October.
00:41Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, and A Tribe Called Quest are also some of the other first-time artists nominated this year.
