Why isnt outkast discussed on /mu/
>>65527658
Such a good album. It's hard to think of any musical act with as many back to back classics as them.
>>65527658
>when Da Art of Storytelling Pt. 2 comes on
>>65527658
You can't make fun of them
>>65527658
is that one of the death grips
>>65527658
because everyone knows they are one of the best groups ever and theres no real reason to argue facts
Because most of /mu/ doesn't listen to hip hop. Besides Kanye and Death Grips and occasionally Aesop.
>>65527851
Also true
Best Outkast track

What are some groups you think are most similar to OutKast? something UGK too
Player's Ball is my shit
i try to listen to them but i just do not like there music at all. i live in north carolina so everyone hypes andre 3000 as the greatest but i just dont see it
>>65528201
Rapwise gotta put it into context of late 90s early 2000s because some are less impressive but the production of Aquemini and ATLiens is timeless
Favorite song off of Aquemini?
It used to be Da Art of Storytellin', pt. 1, then Liberation, but now I think it's West Savannah.
>>65528198
Cunninlynguists maybe? They're eclectic yet undeniably southern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puk1ze_AHPk
>>65528198
Das Racist
Not trolling
Any thoughts on this one?
That song with George Clinton is great but the whole album kinda sounds like P-Funk to me. There are a couple features on here I could have done without... Follow Us is a bit hard to sit through... but the last 3 tracks are perfect
>>65528300
Big Boi doesn't get nearly enough credit.

>>65528300
I almost every song on that album, have no idea why this album didn't win a Grammy, almost flawless
[spoiler]I hate the album cover[/spoiler]
>>65528381
>SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Those orgasmic horns
>>65528381
As for UGK influence, I'd most definitely say Big K.R.I.T.
He can go between a deep, soulful, reflective cut
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqYgfX6dfxc
to a trunk-knocking banger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=424ZkA3C3fg
and back. truly one of the best that modern rap has to offer.
>>65528538
seconding big k.r.i.t.
>>65528198
speaking of ugk and players, love that intl players anthem
>>65529002
Nobody realizes it's the TOP 3 southern duos collabing.
Outkast
Featuring UGK
Produced by DJ Paul & Juicy J
That alone makes me nut
>>65528198
Killer Mike's last album felt like a continuation of Outkast's legacy.
Stankonia>ATLiens>Aquemini>SB/TLB>SPCM
All five are great
http://youtube.com/watch?v=36DCuT1KxM4
I recall reading something on Andre doing his part in one take, or ad-libbing a lot of this
>>65529054
nor did i. nice. at some point ill need to explore s. hiphop
>>65528236
Da Art of Storytellin Part 1 if I'm looking to listen to great lyrics. SpottiOttieDopalicious if I'm wanting to just listen to the beat.
imo they are the best duo in hip hop.
If I had to rank their albums:
1. Aquemini
2.ATLiens
3.Speakerboxxx/Love Below
4.Stankonia
5.Southernplayalistc
6.Idlewild
Also Speakerboxxx > Love Below
>>65527851
pretty much, if it's not some hipster shit or some mainstream shit then it won't be discussed here
>>65530792
man southernplayalistic is underrated as fuck, easily almost as good as ATLiens and Aquemini for me
Skew it on the Bar-B is the best Outkast song.
That song blows my mind even have 100+ listens.
>>65530959
It just didn't have the same levels of production.
Still good, but it's aged the quickest of their albums while ATLiens, Stankonia, and Aquemini are timeless.
>>65530959
It's still a great album. For me 1,2, and 6 are pretty clear, but 3-5 are hard to put in order. Their first 5 albums could all be considered classics
>>65532107
ATLiens isn't even close to timeless. It sounds nothing like modern southern music at all, whereas Stankonia and Aquemini had a few modern, more industrial elements.
>>65532107
Stankonia above Aquemini ??
1. Aquemini
2. Stankonia
3. Southernplayalistic
4. ATLiens
5. The Love Below
6. Speakerboxxx
7. Idlewild
For the most part I always thought Stankonia as the weak sellout album, very frontloaded and bombastic, but it grew on me as time went on, compared to any of its contemporaries it's aged like fine wine. I guess it helps that the album contains the song that got me into hip hop (B.O.B.)
I love the first half of ATLiens, but personally it just becomes a trainwreck after that with the exception of 13th Floor, one of their best tracks.
is outkast the only redeemable aspect of the south?
>>65527851
That's kinda bullshit. Been here for half a decade and I've seen a plethora of hip-hop heads come through here
>>65533480
fuck off
>>65533561
I apologize, anon. It's just I'm stuck in TN and it isn't my natural environment.

WHAT THE FUNK IS GOING OH-I ON
>>65528236
Synthesizer is great, I'm partial to Chonkyfire though, the keyboards and guitar are en fuego
What does /mu/ think of speakerboxxx/love below?
I loved speakerboxxx almost as much as aquemini, but love below was kinda boring after the first 10 or so tracks imo
>at some fucking warehouse dj set the other night
>pretty bummed, not really feeling it
>outside for a ciggy
>they throw on fucking ATLiens
i've never run back into a venue faster
that song is such a classic
>>65537854
>east point, smoke some dank
>>65537802
Speakerboxxx felt most like an Outkast album but I I were to count it as one then I'd rank it as one of their worst
The Love Below had Roses and that was it for me, it had a few other alright songs like She Lives In My Lap and Dracula's Wedding but it was pretty much a Andre solo album and I wasn't feeling it.
>>65537944
>*stock flame sound effect*
Why isn't cypress hill discussed either?
>>65527658
Aquemeni is unmatched. My fave rap album ever
>>65530792
I'm like this except switch Speakerboxx and Southernplayalistic
>>65527658
>>65527727
when the horns in Spottie come on
>>65527760
Kek, this. If you're not talking about Death Grips, Kanye, or Chance then no one cares. Outkast are fucking legendary and amazing.
OutKast are undeniably amazing and one of the great groups in music.
>>65538558
I always find them under-discussed amongst hip hop heads in general, considering how popular they are and how influential and unique their sound was back in the day. DJ Muggs is a GOAT producer and B-Real has one of the most distinctive voices in all of hip hop.
>>65528236
Elevators
>>65539506
Best band of the last 20 years, it's either them or Radiohead.
>>65528236
I really like Slump.
>>65529086
Killer Mike fucking sucks and isn't at all similar to outkast
>>65541461
I would agree that they aren't very sonically similar, but Killer Mike has been putting out quality southern hip-hop for over a decade.
>>65529002
That song is undeniably perfect
>>65541461
>Listens to "Reagan"
>Gets triggered
>Assumes all Killer Mike songs sound like this
Listen to his first album, Monster, that is pretty similar to Outkast.
>>65535128
I liked the sound out of memphis and houston in the 90s but most shit out of the south now is mostly garbage imo.
To add to the list of rappers I think are good from the south I would name Lil Boosie and Curren$y as well but not everyone is into them.
pic related is the best album out of the south recently imo, can't wait for his new album to drop supposedly this year. One of the only recent artists out of the south i give a fuck about. Already really like this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_NFVCgVBvM
>>65528198
GOODIE MOB
how tf has nobody mentioned FUCKING GOODIE MOB
LISTEN TO SOUL FOOD, first half is fantastic (at times better than ATLiens, though less consistent)
>>65528198
Geto Boys is the most influential southern hiphop group. They paved the way for other southern artists. Also they created the genre of horrorcore. Scarface of the group is one of the best MCs in the genre, a southern legend, the original paranoid gangsta, a motif 2pac and biggie were heavily influenced by. Also the first rapper to rap about gangsta shit in the first person.
>>65534349
100% correct
>>65543004
I thought I was losing my mind for a sec myself.
Fuck Andre and Big Boi are on it a ton, same with a lot of the Goodie crew being on SPCM.
Besides, you get some of the best Cee Lo you can get from Soul Food.
>>65542201
nelly is better
>>65529002
just one of the greatest songs out. saw big boi and 3k do it live and genuinely teared up
>>65543745
lol
>>65534349
swap ATLiens and Aquemini and that's my list
>>65541865
"Reagan" is topically spot-on desu, but I'm not totally into it as a song just because it's preachy
>>65527658
Because they're good. People don't talk about good music on /mu/. Why would they?
>>65529054
UGK ft. Outkast (prod by Three 6 Mafia)

>>65541461
well this just isn't true
>>65541865
I've only heard R.A.P. Music and I thought it was genuinely awful and the worst El-P produced project I've ever heard. Reagan was fine, Mike just isn't interesting enough to warrant that kind of track IMO
