Dave Chappelle Shares Heartfelt Story for A Tribe Called Quest Rock Hall Induction

Dave Chappelle joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Ceremony on Saturday in Cleveland to induct A Tribe Called Quest.

After another unsuccessful attempts to play it for the audience, he said, “They’re not gonna let me do it.” Instead, Chappelle read the words himself: “A Tribe Called Quest consists of four members: Ali Shaheed Muhamma, Phife Dawg, Q-Tip, and Jarobi.” On their way up during their ascension, they helped form or found what hip-hop calls the Native Tongues, which included De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers and Queen Latifah and Loni Love and Black Sheep. I know this is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but this movement in hip hop was the birth of so many great artists, and it started with these men sitting at this table.
