OutKast vs. Mobb Deep | By The Numbers

[Rekkapryde]

I love Atliens but the Infamous is iconic

Agree.

Infamous was a 5 mic'er

Atliens was a 4.5 to me. Beautiful Album.

The >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was like comparing Death Certificate to Nelly's Sweat/Suit album or some shyt.

Outkast is totally different style of rap. Both Andre and Big Boi are very skilled and have some classic material, but also more commercial/alternative...

Mobb deep fell off but outkast NEVER did. I respect both groups and their legacies too much to compare.

Which is one of many reasons why they're the better group.

OutKast produced a lot of their own music and produced for others. Check the credits. They did a lot of work on ATLiens Aquemini. Stankonia is mostly produced by them and outside of maybe two songs, all of Speakerboxxx/Love Below is produced by them.

Everyone knows that but you know people here are trying to revise history to fit their narrative.

 

[mobbinfms]

Didn't like either of them.

Fred.

You didn't even "like" Murda Muzik?

Outkast definitely fell off.
It just wasn't nearly as stark as the Mobb's fall off.

Nah, outside of a couple songs....not at all. Thought the beats in particular were weak as fukk compared to their previous shyt. Rhymes were cool but P had started to slip already.

Plus the random ass guest spots from Ball and Cease.

It didn't feel like a cohesive Mobb Deep album.

Kast couldn’t even be in the studio at the same time and the music suffers for that.

And this was before they released Idlewood

Y'all real good at trying to shyt on Outkast...they produced they own shyt mostly too....its just when the mainstream "discoverd" them in 2000 it made them seem "pop"...but they were straight hip hop from 93 til 99

outkast was always in the rap/r&b hybrid lane from DAY ONE.

Crazy. It's definitely the worst of the Infamous-MM run, but its a 4.5 mic album to me
The leak of the album did weaken it though. P had lost a step on the tracks they had to record after the leak.
And 8ball and Cease killed their guest spots.

 

[KillKenny]

wow...
I can't believe some of the replies here... you guys dont have enough luv for outkast.

"Frustrated
Rap battlin' never got me out of no public housin'
You tellin' me I can be King of Hip-Hop
And they wouldn't give it to Andre 3000?
nikka please, this award ain't got shyt to do with us
God could physically come down and say "he the greatest
My favorite, y'all should listen, he have potential
To outlive the heatwave I'ma send through this motherfukker
And rebuild for a whole 'nother other culture"
And that wouldn't be enought"

No they weren’t. Why y’all trying to lump them in with PM Dawn and Arrested Development?

If it's 4.5 on a 5 point scale then what the hell is "Infamous" and "Hell On Earth"?

C'mon fam. You're wilding. shyt is a 3.5, at best.

Fred.

Naw they didn't. You nikkas shyt on stankonia because of the beats but them lyrics is hard. shyt got quotes for days. Dre bowed out before they fell off.

They fell off when they made that double album. Only Big Boi held up his end of the bargain
