A Tribe Called Quest Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Honored by Dave Chappelle, André 3000 and more

After nearly a decade-long wait, A Tribe Called Quest finally joins the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Dave Chappelle delivering a heartfelt induction speech.

A Tribe Called Quest has officially been enshrined into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the moment couldn’t have been more fitting. Dave Chappelle, the iconic comedian and close friend of the group, delivered a moving tribute that honoured their late member Phife Dawg and highlighted the immense influence the group had and has on hip-hop. It was a touching moment when Chappelle recounted skipping a Prince concert to attend Phife’s funeral, solidifying the deep bond he shared with the group.

During the ceremony, Chappelle’s words hit home for anyone who has followed Tribe’s journey. It wasn’t just about their musical contributions, but about the brotherhood and kinship that has kept them together, even through loss. Seeing Q-Tip, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, and André 3000 on stage sharing memories from their early days was like witnessing a reunion of hip-hop royalty. These were the pioneers who laid the foundation, and their stories serve as a reminder of just how far the genre has come.
