Stankonia still sounds futuristic and in comparison MBDTF sounds dated. It's not a knock against MBDTF, but that's just how far ahead Stankonia is. For example, you have a song like "Snappin' & Trappin" which pretty much described what Atlanta rap would be five to six years later. Although Big Boi was talking about "snappin" in the lyrical sense, it's still ironic that snap music was a craze that dominated Atlanta's rap scene from 2005-2008. And trap was also huge.

If theres no Stankonia, theres no MBDTF
Earthtone 3 is underrated as fukk. Stankonia paved the way for kanye and shyt like mdtf.
And banging on rocks paved the way for drums, whatever came first doesn't really matter when talking about quality.
Anyways I'm taking every Kanye albums production over this, only Aquemini is a legit discussion for me (was listening to it a few weeks ago and a lot of it, moreso than any other Outkast project felt like a pre Kanye Kanye in a few ways despite being very different to me)
2 of the most overrated acts of recent times.
Every quality act will be called overrated.

Stankonia went over so many nikkas heads when it dropped. I feel like that joint still doesn't get the appreciation it deserves

This album was also a lot of white folks introduction to Hip Hop at the time

This here is no-brainer. MBDTF is overrated as shyt, and though it has some great production the sound quality is garbage on a lot of songs.
