Who actually uses Speakerboxxx/Love Below as a token of Hip Hop perfection? I've never propped this album as nothing more than a good/great album. It ranks fourth or fifth in their catalog. And if we're really talking about what white moms bought for their daughters, those same Big and Pac albums were led by their biggest crossover songs ("Hypnotize" and "California Love").
Reasons Why Outkast Will Never Be Seen As GOAT Contenders By Most Real Heads

I was asking for a source on another south album going 5x plat.
400 degreez was up there.
and juvenile didn't have to make patty duke songs to do it.
Their catalog is too thin. In a 25+ year career what do they have, like 5 albums? That's a 1 album every 5+ years average, that's too light for any GOAT conversations. Not to mention they're too inactive. We say a 25+ career but how many of those years were they actually active? We do that too much in hip hop, give people the longevity nod just because they came out a long time ago, that don't mean they have been active all those years tho (See LL Cool J, Ice Cube, Wu Tang, countless others). Jay-z and Nas have actually been actively releasing music every 2 years or so since the early 90's, those two guys are on a whole different planet than every other rapper, IMO. They just recently started slowing down, after they were in their 40s. So yeah, Outkast discography is too light in the cakes, but they are obviously one of the most talented rap groups ever, probably the most talented.
theyre the most talented at what?
mostly wack hooks?
bad voices??
horrible mic presence??
andre got the bars, but not nearly on the level that he gets overhyped to.
and big boi was a solid complimentary emcee. nothing more/nothing less.
Andre is actually on the level that he gets put on, talent wise.
And Big Boi is one of the most underrated rappers ever, probably because he was standing next to Andre.
In my opinion
Act like ATLiens and Aquemini werent on Rolling Stones 500 best albums EVER list brehs
My town did not fukk with OutKast at all
My first exposure to them was those Ms.Jackson type songs they did , I honestly thought they made corny CAC music , I didn’t find out till Internet forums that people thought of them as legends

First it's nobody, now it's a case of they aren't known enough, like it doesn't count unless they get the comparable fanfare that OG Outkast got when the climate doesn't really make room for that. Point is they're from Atlanta, they are very much inspired by and compared to Outkast, whatever judgement you have about how known they are/aren't.

Kast didnt do any pop/crossover until theyre gatdamn 4th album...dumb ass nikkas think they started off some Flo Rida shyt.
I dont fw Ms Jackson but as pop as that was, it is still very rooted in blac music(funk)
