Accompanied by daughter Hailie Jade, Eminem was inducted into the RRHOF over the weekend, “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. And there’s only a few of us right now that have been inducted in already, but there’s only a few of us… I had to really fight my way through man to try and break through in this music, and I’m so honored and I’m so grateful that I’m even able to be up here doing hip-hop music, man, because I love it so much.”

Eminem was inducted by longtime producer and mentor, Dr. Dre who praised his “raw, dark and humorous lyrics coupled with an impeccable cadence.”

 

In a heartfelt congratulations video, Debbie says, “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the Hall of Fame.  I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you. And also I’m very proud of [granddaughter] Hailie Jade, my big girl. I want to tell you Hailie, great job on your podcast and God bless you guys. I love you very much.”
