Classics Discussion: OutKast

[Chris Cool]

Elevators did. Not Atliens.

both were top 40 hits.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Yeah but why would you prefer them integrated to separate? That seems backwards to me

anything modeled after how it was done on Aquemini is the right decision in my eyes

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

are people sabotaging votes or what? are no other hip hop acts allowed to match the almighty Pac in classic numbers?

FOH, what is this Southernplaya slander?

people stay stupid

 

[StraightUpMenace]

No on the first two,
Yes on the last three.

this is so wrong on so many levels

 

[mobbinfms]

both were top 40 hits.

I stand corrected. Although I don't really trust Billboard

 

[Taadow]

this is so wrong on so many levels

You wanna talk about it?

 

[mobbinfms]

You wanna talk about it?

Let me have a minute to be in my feelings

 

[StraightUpMenace]

You wanna talk about it?

yes please

why don't you consider Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and ATLiens classic?

 

[Taadow]

yes please

why don't you consider Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and ATLiens classic?

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.

Voted yes for all 5, best and most consistently excellent rap group of all time, ATLiens is my favorite album

[BlackMamba824]

Voted yes for the first 3 and no for Stankonia and SB/LB. I've never really been big on those last two projects outside of the singles and a few tracks here or there.
