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.

How would their name be a gimmick? You could literally say the same about NWA and Public Enemy. The music they made went hand in hand with the name and brand.

He specifically said OutKast and didn't single out Andre 3000. Besides, both members have an eclectic intergalacic funk soul child aesthetic to their music beginning with ATLiens. It's not gimmick. It's inspired by what they came up listening to (Parliament and Earth Wind & Fire). Big Boi even has an album coming out titled Soul Funk Crusader.

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

*In my Chris Rock voice*



I didn't understand half of the flower hippy shyt De La Soul was rapping about....BUT IT WAS GOOD!

The score is a classic based off impact and great singles.
When you look back on 96'.them and pac symbolize that year.
HOWEVER,the album is actually not that great and people only remember the singles

top 5 most overrated groups:

1. outkast
2. fugees
3. UGK
4. de la soul
5. goodie mob - well theres a failed push to make them bigger, by the same people that propped up outkast in hindsight.

so that's 5 groups more overrated than the roots. I can prolly name a few more.


Why do y'all say de la is overrated? No one really talks about them like that

@eifmp @Wacky D


they get top 20 treatment, but theyre more of a top 40-50 group to me.

and I don't like their so-called classic debut at all.

plus they get that glory day group treatment as well.
