Outkast Get Emotional During Rock Hall of Fame Induction: “We Made It From the Basement to the Biggest Stage”

Outkast were officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last night (November 8), rubberstamping a powerful and emotional moment for the ATL legends.

Full story below…

André 3000 and Big Boi shared hugs and laughter, even rock-paper-scissoring on stage to decide who’d speak first, before thanking each other and fans for a three-decade journey that changed music forever.

Inducted by Donald Glover, who praised them as “something that had no business being in the mainstream,” the dynamic duo reflected on their legacy with heartfelt emotion.

A tearful Andre gushed:

“We didn’t know what we were doing back then…just that it felt right.”

Big Boi added:

“We made it from the basement to the biggest stage in music. That’s love.”

During the emotion-soaked showing, they reflected on how

“Great things start in little rooms. We started in a little room.

We made it from the basement to the biggest btage.”

The moment capped a monumental night for Outkast, who joined the likes of Salt-N-Pepa in the Class of 2025.

Watch highlights below, including Janelle Monae’s electrifying salute:
