Eminem and N.W.A (Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella) face some tough competition for spots in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Eminem, N.W.A, George Clinton, Janet Jackson, Bryan Adams, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and more are among the Songwriters Hall of Fame 2025 nominees.

The Hall also put forward three songwriting teams: Steve Barri and P.F. Sloan, who wrote “Secret Agent Man;” and Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, who penned the Four Tops hit “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got);” and Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, who wrote the Percy Sledge tune “Out of Left Field.”
