While enjoying the moment in their homes, people appreciated Jay Z’s happiness. Some people were happy as the tribute included Salt-N-Pepa, too. However, the fandom also said those classic songs are still their favorite. One user even remembered Will Smith and DJ Jazzy as they boycotted the Awards 34 years ago for not televising the Best Rap performance category. And others just enjoyed the important tribute.
