When you list the artists who've been snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one of the most jaw-dropping has to be Janet Jackson.

Whodini becomes the first hip-hop act to chart in the Top 40, Deltron 3030 visits the dystopian future, Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek team up, Ludacris drops his major label debut, and Eminem and Wyclef Jean are born.

George Clinton paints the white house black, Spice 1 is 'Immortalized,' Warren G wants it all, Salt-N-Pepa continue to prove they're 'Very Necessary.'

One of the most respected, influential groups in hip-hop history, ATCQ's legacy continues to thrive.

From LL Cool J to MC Lyte, here are some of the worst Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hip-hop snubs.

MC Lyte establishes herself as a premier emcee, Scarface releases a slept-on banger, VH1 pays proper homage to hip-hop, and Black Thought is born.

MC Hammer gets it started, KRS-One avoids the "Sound of Da Police," Patra and Yo Yo cozy up to 2Pac, Souls of Mischief drop a rap classic and Jeezy is born.

Lil Wayne has finally dropped 'Tha Carter V' after years of drama and delays. Judging from the early Twitter reactions, people are pretty ecstatic about it.

2Pac's Thug Life drops, Ludacris undergoes 'Release Therapy,' J.Lo declares she's still from "the block," Shyne makes his Bad Boy debut, and Serena Williams is born.

Faith Evans releases a signature ballad, Destiny's Child returns for their final album, and Missy Elliott delivers the goods with her second single.

Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock release one of the biggest songs in the history of rap and Craig Mack helps put Bad Boy Records on the map.

If there is another album on the way, it'd be his third project this year.
