Classics Discussion: OutKast

[BmoreGorilla]

Geto Boys

I agree but they had nowhere near the commercial success of Kast.

No GOAT contender album.

I agree with that

 

[RichForever]

Voted a definite yes for the first 3. I'm kind of shaky on Stankonia though.

 

[southpawstyle]

I'm not gonna speak on Ruler as a person because he somehow has goons that neg on sight, but I wanna know the reasoning behind his decision

 

[BmoreGorilla]

What are your favourite Kast songs?

Who's better? Dre or Boi?

Players Ball, 2 Dope Boys and a Cadillac, So Fresh And So Clean, Return of the G, Crumblin Erb. These are prolly my favorites. I always liked Big Boi better tbh

He's a soulless CAC who doesn't know shyt about hip-hop, only shyt he heard on the internet.

[Not The Ruler O9]

CAC is a p*ssy, he won't be explaining shyt.

 

[RichForever]

What are your favourite Kast songs?

Who's better? Dre or Boi?

Aquemini, Return Of The "G", Da Art Of Storytellin' (Part 1), Two Dope Boyz, Elevators, D.E.E.P., etc. Could go on all day tbh.

And to the second question, Andre.

You gave Kast a classic
First the Fat Boys break up and now this
@SirBiatch get in here and tell us Kast only has two good songs on the first three albums.

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

First two are pretty much masterpieces, I'm thinking about changing my vote on Aquemini, the standouts are fantastic but it's not as consistent

 

[StraightUpMenace]

Gave Stankonia a second listen and I'm reconsidering my vote.

Personally, I like both albums a lot. I would even say ATLiens is my favorite 'Kast album.
But If I understand the point of what the threadstarter is trying to do, then it's not about what I personally feel -
it's about what hip-hop collectively feels about the albums in question.

Ultimately, I always come back to this:
If you walked up to a random person in the hip-hop section at the record store, and
asked them their thoughts on (album in question), what would they most likely say?

In the case of the first two 'Kast albums, I don't think it's likely they would know any of the songs
that aren't singles on either of those two. They might respect the albums because they have a
measure of respect for 'Kast, but I don't think they would be too up on them like the last 3.

That's faulty logic breh.

The last 3 (especially the last 2) sold the most because 'kast crossed over into a non-rap audience. I moved out to the 'burbs around the time "Stankonia" came out and everone had that shyt.

They also thought it was Outkast first album.

So just off the sheer numbers of "LB/SB" for example....you're going to run into a lot of people that don't know what the fukk they're talking about.

Fred.
