At his Rock and Rall Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Eminem spent almost all the time he had for the induction speech listing hip hop artists who had shaped the culture and changed his life. His message was outpouring with love and respect, and hip hop elders heard him.
DJ Quik was among the first to shout out back to Marshall:
Congratulations to my left-handed Frat brother @eminem For Your Induction into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. You did that Bro. (And thank you for the shout out.) Q.
DJ Premier was humble, paying respect to Eminem and his brothers who didn’t live to see the day:
Thanks @Eminem for including @gangstarr in your acceptance speech at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction. To be mentioned along so many historic greats let’s us know we did it right and touched so many lives. Continue to be great.
R.I.P. GURU 🙏🏾👑💚🕊Salute @thereelbigshug

Chuck D retweeted a story on his busy feed:
LL Cool J was in the room when Eminem shouted him out, and he cheered for Marshall’s induction wholeheartedly. LL didn’t have to do anything on social media, but his media, Rock the Bells, shared the entire speech with a caption:
