@rockhall: "They thought hip-hop was a fad." During his 2021 Rock Hall Induction, JAY-Z spoke about hip-hop's place in music history — where it came from, what it took to get here, and what recognition from an institution like this one actually means. He called out his "heroes" like fellow Inductees Chuck D and @llcoolj, saying that seeing artists like them helped him realize what he wanted to do. Ahead of the Reasonable Doubt 30th anniversary, JAY-Z quietly added the umlaut back over the “Y” in his name on some promotional materials — a nod to the name he used early in his career on album and single covers, including Reasonable Doubt. #jayz #rockhall #hiphop #reasonabledoubt #llcoolj
