Hip Hop Outkast or Mobb Deep...who was the better duo?

[Poitier]

even on the 3 album run that gets compared outkast was more dynamic. i dont think its just that its a hip hop board, you coulda been on any balanced hip hop board after that 3 album run and most would have said outkast. there are just a bunch of east heads on here. cmon, stankonia being portrayed as not even good? this would be like saying goodie mob was better than kast.

I don't give a fukk about how "dynamic" it was or how they fused funk and pop music with rap

Stankonia is garbage. Soul Food> any Outkast album not ATLiens and maybe Aquemini.

You got people from the South and West Coast saying Mobb Deep. Go elsewhere, gnat.

Kast and im from NY

who are you wacky's long lost twin? calm down. meaning they were better all around. it may not matter to you, but they were better at more things than mobb deep. are you stupid enough to argue otherwise? does arguing soul food is better than any outkast album mean goodie mob was better? of course not. i think soul food is just as good if not better than any kast album.

How were they better at more things? Havoc made his own beats, Outkast did not. Fukk out here with that nonsense.

Wrong. The credits for 5 songs on ATLiens read "produced by OutKast". Kast along with Mr. DJ did the bulk of Aquemini and Stankonia. Andre 3000 produced all of Love Below and several songs on Speakerboxxx. Big Boi also produced and co-produced songs on Speakerboxxx. They've also produced songs for other artists outside of and for Dungeon Family.

You said OutKast weren't producers. I merely pointed out that they were. The bolded statement is hypocritical since you are in every Kast related threaded spewing the same garbage. On top of that, replace Kast in the bolded statement and that's exactly what you've been doing for Mobb Deep in not only this thread, but others.

Le me know when people champion "Stankonia" and "Speakerboxx/Love Below" as game changing moments in rap, let alone producing

I'm sorry, but Stankonia AND Speakerboxxx/Love Below have been credited as game changers.

Havoc made his own beats, Outkast did not.

thats not relevant to what i was saying or the final product. we can get into debates on beats and lyrics, id say kast you'd say mobb. whats not up for debate is kast made better hooks and had more range. sonically, topicwise or whatever. they made better all around songs. you can put kast on any beat, east coast, west coast, or south, theyre not limited.

stankonia does have great production.

 

[JustCKing]

For better or for worse, much of current Hip Hop sonically sounds more like Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/Love Below than anything Mobb Deep released. That's not me reaching for air, it's something that can be backed up.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Mobb Deep....

After Stankonia, OutKast is straight hipster rap. And even that album is vastly overrated.

nikka you said Havoc was a better rapper than Big Boi... and said Prodigy had a case for GOAT. We can easily put on Big Boi's solo projects to just completely disregard that first statement. 3 Stacks can go verse for verse with anyone

Big Boi was not better lyrically than Havoc was when Mobb was in their prime. What Big Boi verse is touching Hav's verse on "Trife Life" or "Temperature's Rising?

Prodigy had a GOAT level peak from 95-99 when you look at the three classics Mobb Deep released as well as his guest appearances on tracks such as I Shot Ya.
