The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 2025 class of inductees, featuring Outkast, the influential Atlanta hip-hop duo credited with elevating Southern rap in the mid-1990s. The new class also includes a 1960s hitmaker and a flamboyant 1980s pop superstar who is currently on their farewell tour. John Sykes, chairman of the Hall of Fame, emphasized that each inductee shaped culture and changed the course of rock and roll through their unique sounds and attitudes. Inductees are selected based on significant musical and cultural impact, with eligibility requiring at least 25 years since their first commercial release.
