Dr. Dre inducts Eminem into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Earlier this month, Eminem was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the ceremony was officially telecasted on HBO this week. Now as the full official video was shared online, some more hidden moments from the event are coming in.
At the event, Eminem was inducted by his longtime mentor and producer Dr. Dre, who gave a hilarious introduction speech. In his speech, Dre mentioned Eminem’s alter ego Slim Shady’s hilarious antics in his earlier albums.
“Eminem wasn’t just an underdog who broke through the glass ceiling of hip-hop — he shattered that sh*t,” he said. “Little did I know, he was going to be one of the best-selling artists of all time. Facts. From the moment he introduced himself to the world with The Slim Shady LP, he skyrocketed to the top of the charts and stayed there for 100 weeks, earning himself a Grammy for Best Rap album and Best Rap Solo performance. And can you believe, after promoting violence to little children, killing his daughter’s mother, this guy still had more sh*t to get off his chest? And then the sophomore album comes out. The Marshall Mathers LP drops.”
He continued, “On that album alone his alter-ego Slim Shady tied me up in the basement, had s*x with his mother [twice, Eminem shouts from the crowd] killed his daughter’s mother again while proceeding to offend about every special interest group we had.” In the official clip, the cameras also captured Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade’s reactions, who made her first public appearance with her father.

Eminem sang a medley of classics, including timeless songs like “My Name Is,” “Forever,” and “Not Afraid,” after Dr. Dre finished his acceptance speech. “So I’m probably not supposed to actually be here tonight because of a couple of reasons. One of them that I’m a rapper, and this is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Eminem said after his performance. “And there’s only a few of us right now that have been inducted in already, but there’s only a few of us.”
