OutKast Gives Us The Roses We Never Knew We Needed 😏🥀 | BET Awards '23

[@GrandPrizeFitnesAJAY]

Outkast....we love you. This audience didn't deserve this diamond duo.

[@lashontaylor2078]

They did understand.

[@ruffrydasean]

This is exactly why Andre 3000 said he's not interested in releasing new stuff

[@thefirelotus4624]

Some didn't even act like they knew the song. I wonder if they had done Fresh and Clean/ Hey Ya and BOB would they have been the same?

[@trenitajohnson7486]

The audience was not hype/ lit they act bored 😐

[@504Trey]

We?? Who is we?? 🤔 speak four yourself cuz Outkast is tra$h in my personal opinion 💀

[@carlamoore3471]

BET did not deserve this performance. This was iconic

[@ForHeWhoLaughs]

This is from when the song came out lol

[@chinap1993]

If BET didn’t deserve this the. Who?

[@scj3188]

So white ppl do?

[@N2music4lyfe]

For this being BET and you got outcast this was disrespectful to not giving them back the energy that they was giving you. Living legends

[@KuroiNeko.]

...? This is an old performance 💀 It literally says "throwback" in rhe description.

[@thefacelee7447]

THESE PEOPLE ARE SLEEP! AND UNAWARE!, and people are not use to happy music!

[@elisageorge2261]

Agree with you..Yep treated them like they're Outcasts😏smh!

[@BooDotBoo]

I was alive during this time, a lot of people didn't like that album, particularly Andre's side because it wasn't "rap" enough (took some people a while to like it for some reason), but when I tell you that double album is a CLASSIC, baby. So many hits on both sides. That was a gift. Still have the CD in my collection. Can't even THINK about throwing it away or selling it. I'm not even a poster person and I had that poster of them in the blue and yellow suits. Still in my closet somewhere. Plus, you can hear people cheering under the music, can see them dancing in the audience, it's not like they were sitting there, not caring. Well, the actual fans cared, the rich folks always stiff, lol.

[@bcreighton]

3000 definitely transcended onto a new dimension on that project.

[@TraeFury]
