Jay-Z to become first rapper inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame

A handful of artists who are considered to have "enriched the world's culture" with their songwriting and music are selected for induction every year. Joining the hall of fame is a huge deal - previous inductees include Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson.

But no rapper has ever made the cut before.

Jay-Z will be inducted as part of the hall's class of 2017 alongside Max Martin, who has written songs for Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande.
