Queen Latifah is celebrating a major milestone - her debut album, All Hail The Queen, has been added to the Library of Congress! This momentous achievement is especially impactful as it marks the first time a female rapper has been honored in this way. Released when she was a teenager, Latifah's music empowered women and transcended genres, paving the way for female rappers around the world.
The Library of Congress is home to an incredible collection of sounds, ranging from speeches to songs, and this year 25 new recordings have been added. Among the list are some other remarkable firsts, including the debut of Koji Kondo's theme song for the Super Mario Bros. game - the first video game anthem to be preserved in the Library. Also joining the list are iconic songs from Mariah Carey and Madonna - “All I Want for Christmas” and “Like A Virgin.”
What a momentous occasion for Queen Latifah and the other artists included in this year's Library of Congress additions!
