On Thursday (June 15), Shawn Corey Carter became the first rapper ever to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He wasn’t able to attend the induction ceremony — likely because his wife Beyoncé may be in the process of giving birth to the couple’s twin babies — but he was able to make a speech of sorts via Twitter.

In a lengthy stream of consciousness Twitter storm, Jigga thanked rappers who came before him, contemporaries, and those he’s inspired.

“Thank you to all the people that have inspired me . Rakim KANE KRS chuck cube Jaz Em Andre Nas big PAC cole kendrick chance jayE ..wait, Lauryn Nicki lite latifah common ye drake and meek .

He continued, listing off more names that he values within the hip-hop community, including his wife.

“Shit did I say redman ? Ghost and Rae . Wu tang I beat Genius in a rap battle I think ha . Busta (him too) Treach . Thug . B a rapper too,” he tweeted. “Shit …Wayne , Juve BG Nipsey . Kim . Slaughterhouse (yes mouse too ha) Folarin MC eiht . Short . 40 . Mac dre this shit hard .Never mind…Anyway salute to anybody who made a song to feed their family or just vent.”

Just when it seemed he was done, many more names came to mind.

“Fuck ..50 cent big L sho ag nice and smooth Joe and pun . diggable butterfly esp…beanie young chris freeway SP okay for real this time . Fuck haa. Naw for real .Pastor Jeezy my partner .

Another important person got his shoutout, too.

“And the greatest rapper of all time OBAMA . Thank you 44.”

Former President Barack Obama didn’t just get props, he also gave them out. In a video that was played at the induction ceremony, Obama spoke about his connection and appreciation for his good friend Jay.

“Nobody who met us as younger men would have expected us to be where we are today,” said the former president. “You know what it’s like not to have a father around, you know what it’s like not to come from much and to know people who didn’t get the same breaks that we did. So we try to prop open those doors of opportunity so that it’s a little easier for those who come up behind us to succeed as well.”
