Your favorite Outkast album?

[hito da god]

'speakerboxxx/love below' is a solid album. 'idlewild' isn't great (or even good), but i don't really count it as an official 'kast album. big boi's flow has changed a little, but not as much as his lyricism. nowadays he's far more proficient than he was back in the day. hell, he out-wrote 3stacks (IMO) in 'royal flush' (a feat which he'd never previously achieved).

How come Outkast never gets any love though from hip-hop fans? Besides some of the more knowledgable guys like you all. Outkast is remembered for Hey Ya too much. When I tell people Andre3000 is one of the best emcees, they look at me like I'm crazy.

most dudes don't have the balls to call a guy who dresses like that their favorite rapper

they do get a lot of love from hiphop fans but it's just that loads of hiphop fans like to go against the stream whatever it takes. as soon as someone becomes succesful, even if they do it 100% their owen way, they'll start hating it. hiphop fans always want to be underground etc. the only way you'll get all of them to like a certain artist is if the artist dies.


big l suddenly became everbody's favorite rapper and jdilla suddenly changed their lives. bull**** since 90% of them never heard ofbig l before he died and most of them were on premiers dick before they hopped on jdilla's dead weener.

nothing worse than the dilla stans. "dilla changed my life" i have something smart to say any time i see a herb with that t-shirt on. great producer but he's so overrated... it's funny what death can do to your legacy.

people do tend to overrate him now. however, having said that, to me he's top 10 all time.

the group i despise the most is the nu-dilla stans who haven't heard anything beyond 'donuts', but read about his passing on pitchfork media and adopt him as their new favourite artist.

mystikal easily had the best verse on Neck of Da Woods and raekwon had the best verse on Skew It on the Bar B


outkast is another one of those "we rap about more than just gangster stuff so the underground overrates us like whoa" acts, similar to gza and common.

thats my word.

Well, when Outkast was on top, there really was no "underground". Underground was a term that evolved around 2000 roughly, once rap really went commercial around the late 90's (1997 to be exact IMO).

ATliens or Aquemini

Fav track is 13th Floor / Growing Old

[ArbitraryWater]

Amazing how many great albums they made...

Aquemini, ATliens, and 3 other good ones.

[fsvr54]

Southernplaya... is straight up disrespected 'round these parts. Their best album (by far) and a top 10 hip hop album of all time.

[NumberSix]

I'd give Aquemini the edge, but it annoys me how many skits are on that album.

ATliens.......Big Boi> 3k BTW.......
