Estelle, CHUCK D, FLAVOR FLAV and CEE-LO paid tribute to De La Soul by performing "Ego Trippin'," "Stakes Is High" and other favorites, while De La Soul performed a medley of hits.

MC LYTE, BUSTA RHYMES, BIZ MARKIE, EVE, GHOSTFACE KILLA saluted Slick Rick by performing "La Di Da Di," "The Show," "Mona Lisa" and "The Ruler's Back;" Slick Rick performed "Children's Story" and "Hey Young World."
