2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony - Inside

A Tribe Called Quest has long cemented its status as one of the most important music groups of all time and that goes far beyond the band’s vaunted Hip-Hop roots. Over the weekend, A Tribe Called Quest was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside other musical greats, with Q-Tip delivering a moving speech thanking those who shaped the group’s sonic background.

The event took place in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday (October 20) with Dave Chappelle leading A Tribe Called Quest’s portion of the induction ceremony. While the surviving members of ATCQ, Q-Tip and Jarobi White, were present, Ali Shaheed Muhammad was notably absent.

After Chappelle’s introduction, clips of Mike D of the Beastie Boys fam, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Pharrell Williams, and André 3000 played, all of whom showered ATCQ with praise and their contributions to Hip-Hop and music overall. Q-Tip and Jarobi then took the stage flanked by their family and loved ones with The Abstract running down a truncated list of thank yous while promising that the full list would be posted on social media.

That gave way to a performance from De La Soul, Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star, Common, Queen Latifah, and The Roots all rocking classic tracks from the band.

We’re sharing videos from Hip-Hop journalist Elliott Wilson’s X account of the ceremony below.
