It was OutKast’s first concert in seven years and needless to say, the performance was highly anticipated worldwide. Longtime fans weren’t expecting any surprise guests but there were several ready, willing an waiting to hit the stage.

Apparently due to a schedule change, the time was changed and the set started late. The legendary group had to cut at least 4 songs from their set list and to make matters worse, there was a 1am PCT cut off time that caused Killer Mike’s performance to abruptly cut.
