Along with a video tribute stuffed with cameos from magnates like LeBron James, Rihanna, Beyonce, and of course, Blue Ivy.
Jay-Z was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last night, becoming one of the few solo rappers who has received the honor so far. LL Cool J and Tina Turner were other notable additions to the hall this year, though early nominations indicate other rappers and R&B legends might be added soon, too. For Jay’s induction, hip-hop magnates like Eminem, Pharrell, Beyonce and Rihanna, and many more were all part of a tribute video acknowledging the vast impact of his words and rhymes on culture at large, and Black culture in particular. Appearances just kept pouring in, with cameos from LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Blue Ivy, John Legend, Questlove, P. Diddy and so many others. With induction speeches from both former President Barack Obama and comedian Dave Chappelle, it’s hard to understate the breadth of Jay’s influence. Here’s some clips from the tribute video: Longer version because the first time didn’t upload?! #Beyonce #Rihanna #BarackObama #LebronJames and more tribute to #JayZ at the #RockAndRollHallofFameInduction #RockHall2021 #rockhallinduction @wkyc pic.
