The artist is Outkast fellas Sorry Manny, we can agree to disagree here. All of them are worthy no doubt and I hope they get in, but Outkast has an argument for the best group and artist in their genre.
this is still my favorite Kendrick performance to this day The reason why I’m by your house You threw your briefcase all on the couch I plan on creeping through your damn door and blowing out Every piece of your brain Til your son jumped in your arm Cut on the engine then sped off in the rain …. Why u wanna see a good man with a broken heart? Once upon a time, I go to church and talk to God Now I'm thinking to myself Hollow tips is all I got Now I'm drinking by myself At the end of Section Park Caught you when you walk besides your house You threw your briefcase all on the couch I plan on creeping through your damn door and blowing out Every piece of your brain 'Til your son jumped in your arms Cut on the engine then sped off in a wraith
Don’t get me wrong - I know I sounded like I was ripping on Mariah and Outkast but I respect them and recognize their importance; however, I don’t see them as “rock”. Dolly Parton got inducted last year and it was the same thing - she’s an important artist but not really rock, IMO.
I get that, by the definition it's not Rock true. But honestly, we all know it's basically the Music Hall of Fame. They could rename it but at this point, it is what it is. But semantics aside I enjoy celebrating great artists of all genres IMO and let it serve its purpose. Shocked some of those artists weren't already in as well.
