Really dough, if you believe Outkast is the greatest group of all time.....

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

imma let this thread die cause none of yall have provided a legitimate argument plus wacky you been posting the same deluded shyt for the 100+ pages of outkast related threads on sohh.

youre trying too hard. ive been told by multiple source that YOU are wacky d. i find it harrd to believe, because by the way it sounds, wacky d is a quality poster and you certainly are not. but hey, they know you better than i do.

most southern rap IS fukking corny, and TLC was for females. that wasnt my point tho. point is rappers/acts were in ATL and ATL was a budding place before outkast ever made a budge. outkast of course are the best group to come outta ATL but ATL isnt the city outkast built as much as the lables behind them were

but how anyone gonna say kast made ATL pop when they werent even the biggest draw in their city/label til YEARS later.

this is my point exactly. outkast didnt build anything. they were a product of the already flourishing atlanta scene. this is why i say that most of these outkast fans that prop them up years after the fact are noobs with novice knowledge. these guys dont even know the basics. even some of the fellas in here that disagree with some of my points are attesting to that as well.

TLC were fukking corny. Atlanta only had marginal acts on the rap circuit per Outkast like shy d, illegal and Shadz of lingo.


Outkast legitimized ATL.

this is the 1st time ive ever heard such about TLC. but ive heard outkast be referred to as corny hundreds of times.

illegal wasnt from atlanta.

i do agree that outkast is the best RAP group to come out of atlanta. let me emphasize the term RAP GROUP. theres no way in hell that theyre better than TLC.

They're easily top 5. Aquemini and Atliens are all time classics.

It's a shame 3stacks never dropped a solo album

 

[Big Mel]

He did drop a solo album.

Solo rap album

never got into them other than ATLiens. never like any of their videos, i always used to look at them as some wack clown nikkas. and "way you move" & "roses" are 2 of the worst songs i ever heard in my life...i wish i could erase them from my memory

Not better than mobb

i actually left this thread thinking less of outkast than i did initially. great job by the threadstarter & co.

jay z nas biggie pun cam kanye clipse werent influenced by wutang? and lol @ big chameleon krit. i listened to his old no limit tapes lol

u just named the softest rappers in rap and dude is proud..

im a stan but this thread (and organized noise one) is a blatant piece of stannery of ELE proportion. im actually reading outkasts taking risks when outkast is essentially the most musically accessible group listed in this thread. does that mean there better cause my mom could listen to it and not think twice? ive never seen a hip hop artist making blatant commercialized music get so much props for it (wait... yes i have... with jay>nas in public opinion... but everyone knows the truth )

using hey ya's international play as a reason to be the best RAP group but ignoring all other groups accomplishments.

outkast was one of the first groups from atlanta but to say THEY blew up atlanta is such a fukking reach. other groups were based coming up at the same time whether RnB or hip hop. they were signed to an atlanta label that also had TLC which blew the fukk up. dudes talking like atlanta to outkast is compton to nwa or staten island to wu tang.



cant change this thinking though. . i really enjoy outkast. but i grew up on hardcore hip hop of wu tang mobb deep onyx nas and biggie and when i want that 'softer' shyt, ill go for de la over kast 5/7 days a week.

in fact, de la and kast have about equal catalogs, similar vibes... what makes outkast that much better than de la who has a history of consistancy and cutting edge music. all you can say is mainstream success, which as we see today dont mean shyt without the impact.


id liek to see what everyone got to say about de la soul >>> outkast

The thing I wanna hit on in this post is how you think Outkast conformed to commercial music instead dictate where hip hop was headed and is now.

In 2003 what the hell in the world sounded like "Hey ya" and "Prototype"? Hell what the hell sounded like "The Way You Move"?

Not a gawt damn thing in hip hop or pop. For better or worse a lot of where music is now is because of the Love Below. 808 and Heart Breaks" and "So Far Gone", and the b*stard Kid Cudi exist almost wholly because of Andre's masterpiece. (IMO)

OutKast place in Hip Hop is unquestioned. It's the reason Jay z mentions them in his raps and not Mobb Deep

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

jay-z mentions mobb deep way more than he does outkast.

and theres a whole section of this thread dedicated to the fact that outkast wasnt even the 1st from their city to do the alternative rap thing(altho, im not denying the influence that TLB had on all those offbrand albums that have been dropping recently.)

hey ya sounds like some 1950s old school shyt and it caught on by being different... dudes sang in hip hop before andre. they pushed the bar creatively, but they pushed it with catchy commercial music. mobb deep couldnt make a song like hey ya. if people havent realized the outkast formula by now idk what to say cause they been trying to make hits since day 1
