OutKast appreciation thread

[Rubin Farr]

since Big Boi's album dropped, been going back over their catalog. man, some amazing stuff, no one really pushes the boundaries like they do in hip hop sometimes. really looking forward to Andre's solo, hopefully this year, and Big Boi has already confirmed their next group album is in production. plus another movie which hopefully won't suck this time.

atliens is one of my biggest hip hop memories. such a great vibe.

along with the pharcyde, de la soul and ATCQ, they are the only hip hop group i can still listen to nowadays.

Definitely a very talented lot. I've heard Hey Ya a few million times more than I'd care to but their early shit is legendary.

atliens has staying power

[Guest ruiagnelo]

one thing that always intrigued me was the man that seems to cough, in the instrumental.

ATLiens is in my All-Time Top 5! Their Albums are all Classics until the Idlewild thingy. Don't care much about them nowadays...

[Ivan Ooze]

was a big fan of them in the days, i still like a lot of their songs, stankonia and aquemini are so dope, even with the poo tracks

i got the Atliens album like 10years ago and every fuck/shit/nigga word was cut out of the vocal lines! censored, wtf how is it possible ??

i bought it again for 5euro a year ago and luckely it's uncensored, pfffjjjjeeeewww

Ever since I heard it for the first time, this song has never been complete without Slick Rick's verse in the extended version.

Cool stuff.

Right on. Nobody can flow like Slick Rick. Shit, I'm tempted to start a Slick Rick appreciation thread! But no, I digress. I'll just throw a song here and call myself satisfied. Suuuuuuper smooth shit, almost sounds like old Vibert or something on the beat - Warren G is a phenomenal producer.

Stankonia will always be a classic to me. Such a good duo

[Silent Member]

That's cool, but those three first albums are pure gold. I need to introduce them to my son, who's probably only heard the hits from stankonia. I failed him there.

[Rubin Farr]

Even just the greatest hits album is a good intro. I’ll post this again here bc it’s new and you guys revived this thread. thx

Love Aquemini and ATLiens do much, don't get me wrong. Stankonia is just the album I grew up with, outkast was the first hiphop group I listened to when I was really young
