Big Boi led an Outkast set with Tyler the Creator, JID and Killer Mike after Andre 3000, Outkast member, sat out, while Missy Elliott introduced Salt-N-Pepa.
Jim Carrey's induction speech was emotional, while Cornell's daughter Lilian spoke for him, and Paul Rodgers was absent due to health reasons with Mick Ralphs having died earlier this year.
The night underscored Salt-N-Pepa's role in paving the way for female rappers, while video tributes honored Chubby Checker, Carole Kaye, Nicky Hopkins and Lenny Waronker.
