The nikka in your avy disagrees.

so what

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

how can a group that went plat just once be overrated?

 

[TrebleMan]

Things Fall Apart, Do You Want More?!?! and Illadelph Halflife to me solidified their place imo. Can't take those three albums away from them.

When did TFA go platinum? That joint went gold in real time. Am I to believe it's slow burned to platinum???

Things Fall Apart, Do You Want More?!?! and Illadelph Halflife to me solidified their place imo. Can't take those three albums away from them.

Came in here to say this.

Those are classics, to me.

Why don't they stop this fagot from making threads? The trolling is at an all time level now.

I wish I could actually be Bill Cosby right now and make this face...I swear each and every generation of hip hop fans after the 90s gets worse and worse...some of you are an abomination to the craft itself. If I had it my way, i'd ban 90% of you mothafukkas born after the year 2000.

The Roots are definitely one of the BEST and most respected hip hop groups ever.

If you not feelin "Do You Want More" or Illadelph Halflife" I don't know what else to tell you...

How the fuk can you not feel tracks like "Water" and "The Lesson Part 3" ????

lol at these cornballs talking bout the fugees. still salty about lauryn hill allegedly being racist.

This shyt is so blatant it ain't even funny, muthaphuckas dropped only two albums, one OK and the other a classic but they're more somehow overrated than the Roots who have constantly dropped duds ever since Things Fall Apart and the Beastie Boys who have always dropped shytty albums ever since '86. The Fugees don't even get mentioned among the greats like that anyway, saying they're overrated is a stretch considering they're barely rated to begin with.

The most overrated group of all time is De La Soul. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

 

[filial_piety]

double

 

[Da King]

[DeuceCypherUno]

Cacs love them so I don't fukk with them based on that

[Wacky D]

Too short did the band thing way before anyone, all of his performances are live and they use live instruments in most of the music

no he wasn't breh.

Its almost like you enjoy negs

do I look like I care about some negs? lol.

why are outkast stans so sweet?

I mentioned their name once and moved on. but here yall go whining and sending negs, cuz yall know yall cant defend them with credibility.

Although I don't agree with them being overrated, you're pretty much asking for a neg by saying that though. It's your opinion, so it's not really something to catch feelings over, but even if I hated OutKast with a passion, when looking at them as a group, I can't dismiss them. They've done things that groups or duos before them haven't. Hip Hop is a genre that moves with the time, any artists that can't keep up, well we've seen what's happened to them. OutKast came in the game and told you from the jump that they wouldn't conform or be boxed in. They lived up to the name and brand they established pretty much like NWA and Public Enemy lived up to their's. It's crazy that they still managed to put out projects that people still copped and discussed 10 years after their debut. People may debate about which one is their best, them crossing over, or them alienating some of their day one base, but this is a group that told everyone from the jump that they were outcasts and didn't really care about being anything else. In a genre where artists ride trends and waves, OutKast established their own thing. You hear influences across genres from Souls of Mischief to A Tribe Called Quest to Parliament to Curtis Mayfield to Marvin Gaye to Earth, Wind & Fire. The key word is influence. Great music inspired them to create great music whether they were spitting dope 16's over crazy production or doing spoken word over crazy production or deciding to sing.

what does them living up to their outkast gimmick have to do with them being overrated?

this is why I don't like eclectic & so-called eclectic groups. they position themselves to be void of all criticism. that's why most of those types of artists are usually overrated.
