LL Cool J and Jay-Z were among the icons inducted into the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which was a star studded event to say the least.
None other than Dr. Dre appeared on stage to present Cool J the Musical Excellence Award and gave a heartwarming welcome to the icon.
“Whenever I hear the first album Radio, it immediately transports me back to when I was just getting started as a DJ behind the turntables. I started off practicing mixing and scratching “Rock the Bells” in my garage. And then I took that shit to the club and watched the club go crazy…LL’s body of work contains some of the most diverse hip-hop has ever seen. He became rap’s first pop superstar while staying true to his roots representing Queens, New York,” said Dre.
