Missy Elliott putting on for the 757, received the honor of becoming the first female hip-hop artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as she was inducted by fellow hip hop icon Queen Latifah, in a year that saw several female artists and Black artists celebrated during the ceremony.

“Nothing sounded the same after Missy came onto the scene,” Latifah, said in her speech. “Everything changed — the bass lines changed, the pockets changed, the cadence, the writing. And that’s because Missy has always been a futurist someone who’s always looking ahead.”

Elliott then performed a string of her hits, including “Pass That Dutch,” “Get Ur Freak On,” and “Work It,” before giving a speech in which she noted, according to the Associated Press, that she was honored at being inducted during the 50th anniversary year of hip hop.
