Nobody ever said Outkast was as hardcore as Mobb Deep. My whole point is that one isn't more Hip Hop than the other in response to the post below:
^^^ It is a diss. Both are Hip Hop because Hip Hop covers a varying range of styles and sounds. Just because Mobb Deep has a more grimier sound doesn't make them more Hip Hop because Hip Hop wasn't always grimey from a sonic perspective. To imply one is more Hip Hop than the other is straight up ignorant.
Its not a diss calling them “less hip hop” than mobb deep
