LEGENDS & ICONS OF HIP HOP - Post By Kevin Douglas

Jay-Z makes a rare appearance on Twitter to reflect on his Hall Of Fame induction and offer Jaz-O his flowers.

It was a big night for hip-hop at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame on Saturday night. Two gargantuan stars who’ve paved the way for the culture received their flowers by getting inducted into the hall of fame. Jay-Z, specifically, was honored with some kind words from people like Dave Chappelle and Barack Obama before touching the stage and sharing his thank you’s to the people who helped him along the way, including Dame Dash and Biggs Burke.

“I would watch these guys, and you know they had big rope chains, and they wore leather, and sometimes even the red-black-green medallions, and whatever they wore, everybody would wear the next day,” he reflected. “And I was like, ‘That’s what I want to do. I want to be like those guys.’ And so I set out on my journey, writing at my table — shout out to Dr. Gloria Carter in the house, she bought me the green notebook.”

One person who, unfortunately, did not get mentioned during the speech is Jaz-O. Jay-Z made one of his first appearances on Jaz-O’s “Hawaiian Sophie” .

“In my excitement , I failed to prize, and acknowledge JAZ-O, he was the hometown hero that made the dream tangible . Thank you good man… ok let me lose this password for another year or so . Thank you all again , incredibly humbled by your love,” he added.

Thank you to everyone in that video package , I’m definitely gonna cry in the car .
