the melodies, song writing/lyrics, enunciation, depth, musicianship of ATLiens would floor any composer/song writer; 100+ years ago and 100+ years from now.

Kast the truth

you folk are comparing the new age outlaws to the most commercially successful group of all time; a group that pushed the envelope artistically with every album and never fell off?

well, the new aged outlaws are pretty much a commercial tag team. the wwf itself is the most commercialized form of professional wrestling.

yall folk are giving your top 5, but ain't giving any reasons to say why outkast aint the goat.

instead of us giving reasons why theyre not the goat, you should be giving reasons why they are. youre on the side that should be trying to play ketchup.

but i dont understand. arent you the threadstarter?

 

[YoungSimpson]

I learned to love it. You're right though the first time I heard it I was like

The good outweighs the bad though:

Humble Mumble
Ms. Jackson
So Fresh So Clean
Spaghetti Junction
Red Velvet
Snappin & Trappin
Xplosion
B.O.B.
?
Gangsta shyt

every thing else i could live without but these tracks are for me.

nikka what about Toilet Tisha and Stank Love?

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

the only group that has anything that resembles a 3-album run like outkast is ATCQ.

albums>>>>
mc skillset>>>>>
longevity >>>>
impact>>>>
artistically >>>
commercial success>>>
musicality >>>>
progression >>>>
subject diversity >>>
influence >>>>

no group is as balanced as outkast, there aint one category they lack in... you can't say that for any other group in history. none.

i can think of plenty of groups that top them in most of these categories. and their impact and influence shouldnt even be brought up. theyre extremely weak in those areas.

face it home-skillet. they dont have the credentials of a goat-type group.

I think they did have a big influence in the south.

They put Atlanta on the map and southern hip hop that wasn't just bounce sh!t as well.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

their southern influence really isnt that deep either. nor should they be credited with putting southern hip-hop on the map.

 

[Atlboss]

OUTKAST with a K yeah them nikkas is hard, harder then a nikka trying to impress God, we'll pull your whole deck fukk pulling your card

They did put Atlanta on the map tho.

 

[ZEB WALTON]

masta p's influence on southern music> kasts... not that he made better music but kast and southern hip hop (as its known) are two very different things

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Lol @ Dre being the GOAT rapper.

 

[SpeakherKnockin]

Best duo? Definitely

There's always a debate between Outkast, UGK, and 8ball & MGJ. Depends on your taste in Southern music though.
