OutKast are officially part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The legendary duo were inducted at a star-studded ceremony on Saturday (November 8) in Los Angeles alongside the likes of The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden and fellow hip-hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa.
Tyler, The Creator, Killer Mike, JID, Doja Cat and Janelle Monáe all took the stage for a tribute medley to André 3000 and Big Boi, performing renditions of classic OutKast hits like “B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad),” “Ms. Jackson” and “The Whole World.”
Big Boi himself was also part of the performance, joining JID for “ATLiens” and Sleepy Brown for “The Way You Move.”
Childish Gambino had the honor of formally inducting OutKast into the Hall of Fame, and praised the group for “[making] it possible to imagine experimenting on the biggest stage and to aim for the impossible.”
During OutKast’s own acceptance speech, André 3000 held back tears as he reflected on the group’s humble beginnings in The Dungeon, the iconic basement studio belonging to the family of the late Rico Wade.
