In addition to telling followers that he's "new on this," Jay's Twitter spree found him praising artists young and old, from Big Daddy Kane to Playboi Carti, Snoop Dogg to ScHoolboy Q.
Jay also shared a Dropbox link featuring a prerecorded induction speech from friend and former President Barack Obama. "I like to think Mr. Carter and I understand each other. Nobody who met us when we were younger men would have expected us to be where we are today," he said.
