OutKast, the pioneering Hip Hop duo, finally got a nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, joining legends like Mariah Carey and Soundgarden. Imagine that! OutKast stands as the sole Hip Hop group in the pack of 14 nominees.
Unfortunately, not all nominated Hip Hop acts made it this year. Eric B & Rakim, who were in the running last year, didn’t make the cut this time around. Better luck next year, guys!
OutKast took to Instagram to acknowledge the honor of being nominated. Their message was short and sweet: “‘Preciate it – – Big & 3.” Sometimes less is more, right?
Meanwhile, fans can make their voices heard by voting on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s official site. The voting is open until April 21, so get those votes in for your beloved artists!
John Sykes, from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, celebrated the nominees as influential artists reshaping music for generations. Let’s give a round of applause for OutKast, who first became eligible in 2018!
This nomination highlights Hip Hop’s ongoing journey for recognition in the Hall of Fame. In the past, A Tribe Called Quest made it through, movingly inducted by Dave Chappelle. Now, OutKast has a chance to contribute to the legacy of Hip Hop in this grand tradition.
Fans of Hip Hop have already witnessed JAY-Z, Eminem, 2Pac, Biggie, and Missy Elliott enter the Hall of Fame. Let’s see if OutKast can join these icons on this revered list.
The anticipation builds as OutKast’s fans eagerly await the announcement of the Hall of Fame inductees.
