Here's a List of Everyone Eminem Thanked During His Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Speech

While accepting his Rock Hall induction, Eminem gave a long list of thank yous in his speech, including his influences and collaborators.

Eminem gave everyone their flowers in alphabetical order while accepting his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On Saturday (November 5), the 50-year-old gave a long list of thank yous, followed by an introduction from his mentor, longtime producer and collaborator Dr. Dre.

"This shits crazy. So I wrote some shit down tonight that I’m never going to fuckin' remember, so I had to read it off the paper and shit, but it’s from the heart," Eminem said. "I realize what an honor it is right now for me to be up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love, and the music that basically saved my life."

After naming Dr. Dre as the person who saved his life, Eminem briefly mentioned his near-death from an overdose in 2007, to which he told his daughter, Hallie Jade, to cover her ears.

The Curtain Call 2 artist went on to begin his hip-hop homage, saying his "musical influences are many, and they say it takes a village to raise a child. Well it took a whole genre and culture to raise me."

"They say success has many fathers, and that’s definitely true for me. So whatever my impact has been on hip-hop music, I never would have or could have done this shit without some of the groundbreaking artists that I'm about to mention right now.

"And this is a list man, I put this list together yesterday. And I kept adding to the shit, adding to the shit, and if I forget anybody, I apologize. But these were my teachers right here:

Those were my rock stars man, and I just want to say, like, those are just a few of the names that I hope will be considered in the future for induction. Because without them, a lot of us wouldn’t be here. I know I wouldn’t.

So that’s all I had to say, man. I know this induction is supposed to be me talking about myself and shit man, but fuck that. I would not be here without them. I’m a high school dropout man, with a hip-hop education, and these were my teachers. And it's their night just as much as it is mine. So thank you."
