Alicia Keys, Outkast Induct Prince at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

[@apprilleh]

I like that Prince wanted OutKast to induct him. He was always reaching back encouraging young artists. They will be inducted as well for those who don’t know they are LEGENDS in their own right.

[@itzwanimereacts]

Fashooo 😂they betta

[@tjrmakhetha]

Outkast will be inducted on their first year of eligibility too. One of the greatest musical groups of all time. From legends to THE prince

[@ZaneSmithMusic]

💯 They sure will! 💿💪🏽🏆🎵 LEGENDARY. 🍑 GEORGIA BOYZ!

[@phil5301]

Yes indeed!!

[@alexhaynes6649]

Alicia's speech was so good, Prince used it in his intro on the Musicology Tour.

[@Brightongirl666]

honestly only Alicia Keys could do such poetry in like 1 minute 30 it was I mean that was yeah undeniably wow

[@alexblue1989]

damn Alicia is stunning

[@artvision2175]

She look good!!!

[@midapita]

And she was only what 23?

[@d23bw]

Such eloquence from Alicia Keys. Keys indeed to wonder of music and voice.

[@shawnwilliams1917]

I forgot how powerful of a poet Alicia Keys is. I don't think she meant to deliver this induction like a spoken word poem.

[@Jochen666]

Prince belongs to the greatest of all time. And Alicias speech surely belongs to the greatest of all time, too! *It's. So. Good.* Gives me goosebumps every time I watch it!

[@panhead58ful]

it puts me to sleep

[@Romchikthelemon]

Her words melt everything around, man...

[@LGCProductionsdotcom]

Alicia keys makes me wanna love prince even though I already adore him.. she really captured the essence

[@robertworkman1419]

Prince in undoubtedly the greatest all over talent!

[@abk9203]

Alicia Keys is the hottest and warmest woman in this world. Both externally and internally. Externally we all know y'all 😍😍😍 tha bae. And internally came out in her spoken words...

[@phil5301]

Big Boi, 3 Stacks and Alicia Keys got this opportunity. What a privilege!!!

[@smh93]

Prince called him Andre 3stax too. 😂🥰🥰

[@ixthisss]

[@aquamarine99911]

I love Outkast, but I wish they had put a little more preparation into this. It's Prince, for gawd's sake. You only get one chance to induct such a legend.

[@midapita]

😂

[@thepromiseman7745]

Not gone lie that speech Alicia keys made omg she was Turing me on .good lawd have mercy

Nice speech. However, Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.

[@ASAP_BLACK]

Was Alicia on drugs LMAO

[@groofoot]

I saw this live ... she was high as a fkn kite ... 7:12 ....

[@pamelaalley5691]

Michael is King and then there is the Prince!

[@anawawa8692]

Alicia shush

[@Miznalf]

Thank goodness Alicia was there to save the day to give him a proper induction and not some "shoot from the hip" commentary.

[@abk9203]

Alicia keys was high or what in here. Her speech was good but from her eyes and behaviour she felt she was stoned. Not to the point that she u act stupidly but she now is acting like she is laughing and giggling everytime. Like she is intoxicated, I never seen such intoxicated Alicia. It's good and sad at the same time. Don't know what was the reason of her to take it, when it was a moment of happiness to induct Prince.

[@aquariusstar7248]

Maybe she was high but i do think her laughs came from a deep soul understanding of Prince and the power he has. We Aquarians have a way of finding humor in ways other ppl dont find funny. She seemed very confident to me! Maybe she took a few puffs bf hitting the stage out of anxiety but her true poetic self still was shining. Made Outkast look like illiterate paupers😂

[@SeanSMST]

@@aquariusstar7248 I hate to say it, but you are who you are from how you got raised, not by what time of year you got born.

[@groofoot]

High as the sky .... that was some high powered ganja she had before givin' that speech ... ;-)

[@pinkcashmere573]

They should have had different people induct him in. They are not on Prince’s level at all and the speeches are embarrassing. But it’s Prince and he makes it all better.

[@dirtybirdxx]

He's the one that picked them to do the speech. They did good

[@aquariusstar7248]

Alicia--who was admired by Prince and permitted by him to cover "How Come You Dont Call Me,"--was more than appropriate. Many kings but only one Prince. Very poetic!

[@welcome2theedawn]

Prince literally picked them and loves all 3 of them … it’s not abt being on his level

[@davisdavisdavis]

don't dog on outkast and alicia keys

[@setialphasix]

I agree. He deserved a richer and more eloquent induction than what those clowns gave him. They did him a disservice.

[@sharonkilby3806]

He died of an accidental drug overdose

[@darrenreid5409]

Really?

Yes April 21, 2016

[@TubbyTee]

Alicia yes! But Outkast? Rambling... HOF couldn’t find a contemporary of Prince to introduce?

[@trillythagr8259]

You sound crazy. This was 2004. Outkast was the hottest Artist out that year. Outkast are the legends over Alicia keys.

[@amexemoor443]

Tubby Tee I totally agree

[@samuelwilson3653]

Prince personally asked for Outkast to induct him

[@Bellissimma]

That's not rambling... that's called stream of consciousness. Some people don't prefer prepared speeches.

[@suzeesix]

Prince picked them all. He loved Alicia and OutKast.

[@jenns7930]

Eh, not the right people to have people make a speech about legend, all drunk and acting dumb

[@jesseskd04]

OutKast & Alicia Keys are all legends too and Prince himself chose them to induct him as well. Great speeches and expressions of appreciation imo.
