\u201cThese three women are the bricklayers to that foundation that holds hip-hop together. They gave us their shoulders to stand on,\u201d Elliott said while introducing the famed rappers and their DJ, Spinderella, at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalt, Pepa, Spinderella, y\u2019all are one of the greatest teachers in hip-hop. I thank y\u2019all for teaching me that life is all about expression,\u201d said Elliott, who previously made history as the first female rapper to be inducted into the Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the show, the ladies kept the party going at the W Hollywood, where DJ Kiss spun tunes for the crowd. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re told the icons had their own separate VIP sections at the party. <\/p>\n

Elliott was spotted in deep conversation with Mona Scot-Young and Pepa, whose mother passed away last week. \u201cI want to honor my mom [who] just passed away, and she was my strength, my guidance. She taught me love, how to persevere. I want to thank you mom for everything,\u201d she said earlier in the night.<\/p>\n

Donald Glover inducted fellow hip-hop inductees Outkast, who also got emotional during their acceptance speeches. Andre 3000 teared up as he reflected on their journey getting their start \u201cin little rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andre acknowledged fellow inductee, Jack White\u2019s speech, and then choked up in the middle of his. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing Jack said\u2026 Man, he\u2019s one of my favorites man. We love you man, but one thing he said, he said something about little rooms. And we started in\u2026 little rooms. Great things start in little rooms. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big Boi then got on the mic, and said, \u201cLong live Uncle Moonie,\u201d referring to his uncle who was gunned down in a road rage accident in June. <\/p>\n

Big Boi was on stage with J.I.D, Janelle Monae, Doja Cat, Tyler The Creator, Sleepy Brown and Killer Mike, and Monae performed \u201cHey Ya!\u201d which apparently left an impact on CeeLo Green, as he was spotted singing the song in the men\u2019s restroom later.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, ahem, bathrooms, Teddy Swims couldn\u2019t go in peace. He gifted a fan a safety pin from his jacket, after the unnamed man asked him for it at the urinal. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe happily took it off and gave it to him before performing [on stage],\u201d a spy told Page Six.<\/p>\n

Swims paid tribute to 2025 inductee, Joe Cocker, by perfoming \u201cFeelin Alright.\u201d <\/p>\n

He also closed out the night by performing with a group including Cyndi Lauper, who sang \u201cGirls Just Wanna Have Fun,\u201d after Chappell Roan inducted her.<\/p>\n

Iggy Pop inducted The White Stripes, with Jack White accepting for the band.

Meanwhile, Carey and \u201cGossip Girl\u201d star, Momsen, were spotted backstage dishing about her crochet skills. \u201cShe [said] she\u2019s going to make him a blanket,\u201d a spy told us.<\/p>\n

Hall of Fame chairman, John Sykes, summed up the evening as the \u201csecond best thing to happen in LA this week<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sykes was enthusiastic about the ceremony being, \u201cback in Southern California, where it should be,\u201d which left one Clevelander gasping in the audience. \u201cI\u2019m offended,\u201d they quipped.<\/p>\n

Time will tell if the ceremony, which has shuffled between NYC and its the Hall of Fame\u2019s home in Cleveland<\/a>, will be back in LA, as Sykes seemed to suggest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hip Hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa were partying with fellow rap icon Missy Elliott after the 2025 Rock and Roll…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273370,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,19598,75,115688,98545,341,124465,41999,99550],"class_list":["post-273369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-cyndi-lauper","tag-entertainment","tag-jim-carrey","tag-missy-elliott","tag-music","tag-outkast","tag-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame","tag-salt-n-pepa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273369\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
