JAY-Z's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech | 2021 Induction 

We did it Brooklyn! 🎉

Black people created Rock and Roll. I know this hurts all the racist idiots in the comments but it's true. Great speech by Jay just a little confused that he didn't mention Dame. He earned it though.

"that bloke from Oasis said I couldn't play guitar. Somebody should have told him I'm a fuckin rockstar"

Congratulations again, 2/2024, to the GOAT King Hov!!! Incredibly talented and smart!!! Much respect, bro!!!

Jay-Z's first album is incredible

I loved that!!!!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 He is just speaking from the heart and down to earth and real!! God bless him and his family - so sweet about his mom and sister too ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

To those who don’t Overstand why Jay Z is being inducted. Do you your history. look beyond the instruments used and the style of vocal performances and ask yourself. Why he does what he does and why does all of the inductees do what they do ? what causes his music ? It’s the attitude. The attitude that is born in Black African American culture. He explicitly said his Hiphop hero’s were authentically themselves and he adopted that philosophy. That philosophy is Rock n roll and is Hiphop. The attitude, the cause is what unites all the inductees. Not the type of guitar or the machine used to produce the music. The haters attitude ain’t Rock n roll you may be fans but Jay z is a million times more rock n roll than the haters in this comment section. Peace

JAY Z is my #1 favorite rapper, my rapper legend and rapper idol!!! ❤️ 😍 🤩 For him to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a big honor for him!!! He’s accomplished so much throughout his career and he’s so blessed to have a big accomplishment like this!!❤😊😊😊❤😊❤❤

The balance in his voice calms my soul I feel centered

Great Speech Jay z♥️

Intelligent man❤❤❤

my idols goated 🥵

I love Jay-Z

Jay z is a very straight forward person. He says it as it is 😂

Why they cut out the Dame shoutout

This is it for me, rock and roll??😮

HOV!!!

Hip Hop Hall of Fame

im sure these comments are going to be very respectful. awesome for jay-z, glad that we see some hip hop introduced into the HOF 🫡

Rock and roll hall of Fame? Maybe Chuck Berry should win for the best rap artist.

HOV!!!!

I didn’t know Jay Z is a rock and roller! 😂

Maybe they should just rename it Music Hall Of Fame.

Who is here after 2024 Grammy Speech 😅😅

Edited out the shout out to Dame Dash and Biggs..

2 words “That’s Hip-Hop”.

Not Sure I Understand Were This His R&R ?

WOW they took out the part where he mentions Dame wtf

*Jay Z looks like Buckwheat all grow'd up*

Next we get Bach in the Rap HoF. What's Rap got got to do with it, got to do with. RIP Tina Turner, a real RnR Queen.

I'm surprised he didn't thank his wife. I know she must have been waiting for it. Interesting.

Hip Hop is awesome! But this is Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. There is a Hip Hop Hall of Fame. JZ doesn't do Rock n Roll. But I guess in the music Industry (make no mistake it is an Industry) the Real King is $$$.

LL COOL J,. Jay Z always GIVES YOU YOUR FLOWER 🌹. SO you should stop laughing at HOV

IF you dont believe that rock is a black art form, Google Chuck Berry...Google Little Richard

Hip Hop is as much a derivative of Rock and roll as punk, hard rock or metal are. If you don't know this, you are clueless.

i see the comments and understand why rock and roll died ...they stole the music and never acknowledged that it´s a culture . These people in the comments are wondering why hip hop has a place in that culture . They don´t get it

BLurred Lines m

Rock?

Maybe there should be a hiphop hall of fame because that makes no sense

JAY-Z??? Did he mean BEYONCE?

He's not rock and roll music at all. Wtf?

Look, I know that Jay-Z is a very iconic artist who has done a lot for his genre of music, but he isn’t Rock & Roll!!! Same with Dolly Parton. I love Dolly Parton and I think she’s incredibly talented but seriously guys, she’s country!!! I’m sorry, but until the bands Styx, Boston, Foreigner, Kansas, Supertramp, individuals like Joe Cocker, and many others get into their rightful places in that pantheon of artists, I just can’t consider the Rock Hall to be anything but a sad excuse of its former self, pandering to the younger crowds in a sad attempt to look for relevance while ignoring the actual talent they were meant to celebrate in the first place.

Good job... throw color right out there first thing. After they let country in... one figures they'd let "anybody" in.

He's not rock and roll

I love Jay but he’s not YE.

Jay-Z? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? That deserves a *HUGE* LOL! I wouldn't even classify most of these clowns as musicians.

Rock n roll is dead
