Jay Z入选创作人名人堂成说唱界第一人

美国说唱音乐人Jay-Z入选创作人名人堂，成为历史上第一位获得这一荣誉的说唱歌手。Chic乐队的尼尔•罗杰斯 Jay-Z has several reasons to be happy right now.

Jay-Z最近可谓“多喜临门”。

Less than a month after it was announced he and his wife Beyonce are expecting twins - he is to receive a top songwriting honour.

在宣布妻子碧昂斯怀了双胞胎之后不到一个月，他又将收获创作人的最高荣誉。

Jay-Z is to become the first rapper ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in the US.

Jay-Z将成为首位入选美国创作人名人堂的说唱歌手。

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.

每年都有一些艺术家入选创作人名人堂，人们认为他们凭借自己的创作和音乐“丰富了世界文化”。

Joining the hall of fame is a huge deal - previous inductees include Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson.

入选名人堂是非常了不起的事情——此前的入选者包括马文•盖伊、鲍勃•迪伦、多莉•帕顿、布鲁斯•斯普林斯汀以及迈克尔•杰克逊。

But no rapper has ever made the cut before.

但之前从没有说唱歌手被选中。

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.
