17 years ago today, OutKast dropped Stankonia

[jelanitsunami]

"Snappin' and Trappin'" is my personal favorite. People still copy Gangsta Boo's flow on "I'll Cal B4 I Cum" to this day

I remember buying this and Jay’s Dynasty album at the same time after a high school day.

Same here....remember from 8th - 11th grade my mom would pick up cds up for me on release Tuesday and have them for me when I got home

So Fresh So Clean/Ms. Jackson/B.O.B/Humble Mumble/Stank Love

 

[JustCKing]

I never liked "Ms. Jackson" and initially didn't really feel this album. One day in like Summer '03, I decided to revisit it because my younger cousin wanted it. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I was a little upset that I initially slept on it.

My auntie who was in high school played the fukk outta this on her boombox when it came out

Love the album though

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

The first Kast album I didn't outright "love". Truth be told I'm from Atlanta and bought the Players ball single on cassette in 94 and Dre dated my cousin at Tri Cities.. but whatever I was committed.

People copy her flow period .

I think this is one of the most underrated classics of the past 20 years. I think its their most southern album sonically but the production is so clean. This album was also Big Bois coming out party.


Humble Mumble low key was that shyt.

 

[O.Red]

Nikkas in here completely disrespecting Snappin and Trappin

 

[phonthought3000]

Only thing I got to say is....

All that bouncing, nikkas ain't from the A-Town
We got Bankhead right here, southwest Atlanta too strong


BREAKKKK!!!!

Just listened to this, not as cohesive or southern sounding like their 2 previous efforts, this is when they started to go left with their sound, which is a good thing/bad thing. I wished they continued what they were doing on the previous albums but liked how they were expanding their sound, they would further do this on speakerboxxx/love below, the singles on here blew them up.

4/5 album.
