On Friday, Tupac was officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2017 class, along with the likes of ELO, Journey, Joan Baez, Nile Rodgers of Chic, Pearl Jam, and Yes. And as we reported a couple weeks ago, Pac’s former Death Row label mate Snoop Dogg was the one to present the award.
According to various reports online, Snoop apparently reflected on past stories with Pac before presenting the award, including one where Snoop credits 2Pac for getting him to smoke blunts, and another story about going parasailing with Pac.
In addition to that, Alicia Keys then later graced the stage and performed a medley of Tupac hits, including "Ambitionz Az a Ridah," "I Ain't Mad at Cha," and "Dear Mama.” Then Snoop returned to the stage to perform “Gangsta Party” with help from fellow West Coast rapper YG.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait 'til April 29th to see the event go down when it airs on HBO. For now though, check out various tweets & clips that have surfaced thus far (below).
