Salute to @outkast for making history at the @rockhall

[A.R. Shaw @arshaw]

@Outkast will make history by being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Just the third Atlanta-based artists to be inducted (Gladys Knight & Brenda Lee). I spoke w/ NBC @11alive about the importance of the moment and how OutKast changed Atlanta and hip-hop overall.
