The rapper, who was also inducted into the organization this year by Dr. Dre, opened with a live rendition of his 1999 song “My Name Is.” He followed the song with “Rap God” and “Sing for the Moment.” For the latter track, which samples the Aerosmith classic “Dream On,” Eminem was joined by Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler, who performed the sampled chorus live. He then brought out Ed Sheeran for a live rendition of the song “Stan.” The medley continued with Eminem songs “Forever” and “Not Afraid.” Watch it all go down below.
